My core strengths include:

Critical Thinking — I'm a chronic planner. I'm keen on action plans & agendas. I value idea exchange & fostering a marketplace of ideas.

Creative Concepting — I ask the questions to get the wheels turning. I cull ideas. I vet the ideas before committing to execution.

Strategic Problem Solving — An obstacle is simply a starting point for dialogue. There is no such thing as "no".

Interpersonal Skills — I value relationships. I work to develop them. I learn more with each interaction.

Ability to Sell & Defend Ideas — I'm a persuasive & inventive speaker. I know how to push back an idea to a client & make them think it was their idea. Having started 2 companies, I have an entrepreneur's keen sense of timing.

Collaboration — I value my team's input & insight. My work cannot get done without their buy-in.

Presentation Skills — I'm a confident and persuasive public speaker. I know how to tell a story that sells.

Client Service & Management — Clients may know what they want but they don't always know which tactic will deliver.
