Self-Assurance - Michael Nicholas Reidy Resume

People who are especially talented in the Self-Assurance theme feel confident in their ability to manage their own lives. They possess an inner compass that gives them confidence that their decisions are right.  

By nature, you find it difficult to extinguish your impulse to work hard. Your feelings of personal accountability mean you set few limits for yourself. Instead of watching the clock, you can completely lose track of time when immersed in simple or complex projects. Disregarding your official work schedule, you probably have stayed late or arrived early to finish your assignments. You always know you will somehow accomplish what you said you would do. Chances are good that you sometimes enroll in difficult or demanding classes. You might aim to expand your knowledge or challenge your thinking about certain things. Instinctively, you earnestly apply yourself to seeing things as they really are. You bring a practical, matter-of-fact, and unsentimental outlook to various discussions, projects, or planning meetings. Driven by your talents, you deconstruct tangled situations. You sort through facts to discover the inner workings of intricate processes, regulations, programs, or action plans. People rely on you to break complicated things into their basic parts. They trust you to present the information they need in an easy-to-understand manner. Because of your strengths, you habitually put in very long hours. Some call you a workaholic. You disregard this label and declare, “I love my job. I really enjoy what I’m doing. I know I’m good at this. It gives me great pleasure.”
