Areas of Competence
Leadership: I lead by example, setting high standards which I usually exceed. My professional and respectful approach combined with my love for targets has enabled me to take charge of departments running at a loss and through dynamic and empowering line management, have resulted in them realising a more stable and profitable presence. Being naturally objective, I am able to make sound judgements and take calculated risks uncluttered by personal opinion and am an excellent ambassador for the organisation.
Problem Solving: Being naturally proactive in my work, I aim to prevent problems. I take a dynamic approach to resolving difficult situations and do this at the earliest opportunity. I excel at helping people to help themselves, empowering them to take responsibility by providing unbiased advice and guidance. Skilled at conflict resolution, I have been an arbitrator between employees and disputes in-house and at tribunal and resolved each of these without further official intervention.
Communication: Naturally approachable, my style of communication is friendly, unassuming and straight-forward. Finding it easy to converse with all walks of life, I enjoy motivating and inspiring others and feel rewarded by their achievements. Using my diplomatic, bubbly and probing approach, I am able to gain quality information from the most reserved individual. Being a positive and dynamic individual, I influence and negotiate with ease which has given my past and current contracts an excellent foundation from which to spring from.
