About Me
All About Me…
Who is the face behind Rabel Virtual Services?
It’s me :)
But what about me as a person? That’s where I freeze up a bit. You see, I’m an introvert, an ISTJ to be more specific. There are many misconceptions about introverts, but here’s a quick definition:
People who are introverted tend to be inward turning, or focused more on internal thoughts, feelings and moods rather than seeking out external stimulation. Unlike extroverts who gain energy from social interaction, introverts have to expend energy in social situations. After attending a party or spending time in a large group of people, introverts often feel a need to "recharge" by spending a period of time alone.
No, we aren’t hermits, or antisocial...although there are extremes like with any personality. Though we can come across that way since we aren’t the social butterflies our extroverted counter-parts are. In a large group you will find me probably talking to the same person the entire time, or maybe the dog :)
That also means that opening up and sharing with a lot of strangers takes me way out of my comfort zone. I do much better with one-on-one interactions. So those networking events that everyone says we have to go to to get our name out there? Dreading, dreading, dreading.
Then you add in the rest of my ISTJ personality and you get this: A Logistician (ISTJ) is someone with the Introverted, Observant, Thinking, and Judging personality traits. These people tend to be reserved yet willful, with a rational outlook on life. They compose their actions carefully and carry them out with methodical purpose.
Well now...that is something that can come in handy if honed & allowed to flourish. Like, as someone that can offer business support? You see, all those tasks that most people dread about their business like data entry, simplifying processes, developing processes...those are things I love doing!
When I sit down and work through someone’s process and all those post-it’s go up on my wall...I am at complete peace. It’s my happy place.
My ISTJ personality plays a role in most aspects of my life.
I’m direct....no sugar coating here :)
I don’t like being in large groups for long periods of time...but I can chat for hours at a coffee date.
I don’t like small talk with strangers...I will latch on to one person and get into some deep conversations.
I am very organized...like my grocery list is organized by the aisles in the stores I shop most.
I remember little details...it would probably freak most people out if they knew the things I remember about them.
I’m a bottom line, cut to the chase kinda girl...no need to fluff up your call/email with me, just get to the point.
Well, that’s me folks...for better or worse :)
