Cultural Self Assessment

CulturalValuesRead MoreSelf AssessmentPersonal Story
Communicative
8 - i see myself as an empathetic listener and follow what the heart says
my profession was a financial advisor it taught me to listen then provide a solution. one anomaly for a financial plan is disability and life insurance. hearing peoples’ stories because of life’s unpredictable events taught me to listen through the heart
8 - i float to where the wind takes me
i have a yearly habit to learn something new at each new year and would like age with wisdom. so i take on new information in hopes to benefit on a better sound judgement. i like to stay nimble and dynamic so i remain susceptible to changes
6 - i am an acute triangle
i have the tendency of going on a tangent. i need to be more self-aware and methodical on articulating my ideas. i am going to read more this year to go one level deeper which helps improve my effective communication skills
Personal
7 - i care to share
i share too much to care - my wife says to me. i’m too selfless and can even write i’m wrong when i’m right
8 - i cling like lint
i always like a companion for each different activity that i do. for example when i was child i loved to bmx. it is much a solo sport - mentally - but when with a companion and done together we pushed our limits to go 2x higher off a 6ft kicker. in work its the same when you’re with an aspiring companion; your vertical of success can be amplified
8 - i am your big bro for life
i’m deeply passionate about mentorship. i have mentees and mentors in each area of expertise that helps me accelerate my growth curve
Collaborative
9 - batman is my hero
batman serves for the greater good for humanity but expects nothing in return; i adapted this mentality from my grandma.
9 - barrack obama is my hero
i do things for the people and by the people. i believe people are better when together which obama defined it well in the WE can. i like watching obama speeches for fun
6 - debate is not my forte
educate and be educated. i don’t dare to disagree but rather ask if you’re willing to look at it differently.
Devoted
8 - i got married at 24
i hit maturity at younger age because i believe in constant challenges that’s devoted through love
6 - bottom-up approach is backwards
i focus too much on the granularity because of my trading background. i overresearch an idea. sometime i miss the big picture when i focus to much on details
9 - i like eating foolish food
i lead my action by excitement and jump to conclusion too early without considering consequences
Aligned
9 - yes we can (barrack obama)
i believe in inclusion for all that i do. i always want someone in the world to experience my experiences with me so there can be a collaborative feedback. its the journey together that makes it great
8 - ready to jump without counting to 3
a wise man once told me that an optimist builds an airplane while a pessimist makes the parachute. that really stuck. i really like airplanes
9 - the future for the next generation
When I was a financial advisor i created financial plans not for the client but for their kids. our 20s we adventure, 30s we work for money, 40s for family, 50s for health, 60s spend money, +70s for legacy. end state is always a legacy so why not take action for legacy
Authentic
7 - i eat what i make
i take on too much because i want to help but i’m not good at saying no so i have an overloaded plate of food most of the time
6 - numbers don’t lie
i can make tough financial decisions because that can be quantified. subjective topics that cannot be quantified then i have a difficult time make the decision and divert to someone else
9 - i catch my own fumbles
i do fumble more so - admittedly. i ‘m not
Technical
6 - i will take you there
i am not the top 1% and that’s because i don’t like spotlights but i do support the ones to get them there to be the top 1%
7 - i am the fulcrum
i like to see myself as keeping things balanced because life can go to the extreme but we all need the mean reversion to view things realistically
7 - i am your swiss army knife
i have many skillsets that i’ve adapted over time so i am the utilitarian
Potential
9 - is e^10x to fast
studying stocks most my life makes me think growth all the time but moves at a velocity that’s too fast will come back down just as fast when there’s no solid reasoning so i ask what’s the fundamental driver to all that we do when we want sustainable growth
9 - habitual learner
every year i have a habit of learning a new topic about something so this year is how defi works
5 - i am a sceptic
a wise man once told me there’s a difference between a contrarian and a sceptic. that message really stuck. i take the journey to discover the truth
Impact
10 - the new power is purpose
work is for monetary purposes but what’s when you find passion that pays you then that’s a career
8 - i don’t like being busy
i’m not looking for busy things to do - i’m looking for productive thing to do
6 - run headless than running heartless
how do you solve a dependent variable in a random walk? i need an answer
