I think my work persona is more along the lines of "bubbly, sweet, funny and very empathetic." It's like this sort of manipulative act I put on where I just try to make them feel like they're the most fascinating and important person in the world.And I think it does sort of bleed over into my real life. I'll find myself sort of tilting my head, smiling, and gazing into people's eyes while they talk - sometimes I realise it's because I actually find them a bit dull but I want them to think I'm fabulous.
I once read Dale Carnegie's How To Win Friends and Influence People. From that I learned that the way to be interesting is to be interested. I think I sort of lay it on a bit thick sometimes.
