Where I excel

Stability

In times of change, I provide stability by communicating values or our team’s north star.

Agile decision maker

I can quickly weigh alternative paths and determine the best one. My ability to see alternatives provides persistence that creates confidence.

Navigating challenge

I love to solve problems. I have an ability to analyze a situation, identify shortcomings and modify as needed which is valuable in challenging times.

Stay on the cutting edge

I love to learn. I can absorb information quickly and challenge myself to learn more, keeping me on the cutting edge.

Help others grow

When others are fearful of change, I can break information down to help teammates learn and where they could learn to grow.

Individual appreciation

I notice and appreciate a person's characteristics and don't treat everyone the same. I can see what makes others unique, and know how to bring out their best.

Emotional intelligence

I am intuitive and notice shifts in body language, tone of voice and facial expressions. This allows me to tailor the message and delivery for receptivity.

Outside of work

How spend my time

Travel

Experience new sights and cultures

Photography

Slow down to capture the moments and see things from a different perspective

Basketball

Watching the best athletes in the world collaborate in competition
