I’m able to use my excellent social skills to augment my work and career. I work best in collaborative environments, where there’s equal give and take. Out in the world, I’m intended to be at ease with people and to be seen as likable and approachable. I’m a natural networker, and seem to have a knack for knowing how to talk to everyone. I thrive in a work environment where my goals are connected to personal relationships and forming meaningful bonds with others. Ideally, my coworkers value long-term partnerships and genuine collaboration. 

I want the people in my work environment to be happy and get along and I strive to maintain that. I play the role of peacemaker and diplomat. I can reach out to people and understand their perspectives. A team player, I function well in groups, naturally seeking consensus and setting goals. My diplomatic skills are masterful and driven by a sense of what everyone else needs and what the culture dictates is appropriate to the situation. If I don’t feel comfortable and connected to the people I work with, that’s a sign it’s not the right situation for me. It’s vital that my work environment encourages and inspires me to be myself, and I should feel positive about what I’m contributing.
