If none of that interests you, save yourself time and exit now.
If you are in a hurry or just want to put a voice to my picture, here’s A SHORT AUDIO OVERVIEW:
- People don’t like to be “sold to”, they like to be heard and helped.
- People are often assumed to not care about the “why” of things, but they do care.
- You can be skeptical without being considered negative, in fact skepticism fuels change.
- Sometimes a cliche is quite wise, such as saying actions speak louder than words…they do.

The other aspect of my dichotomy is that I am a forest AND trees person…meaning I see the big, long-range picture while at the same time I can burrow deep into the details of an issue to glean insights and solutions.
But being able to access those skills is only valuable if the results can be communicated clearly and in a meaningful way. I have been fortunate to be blessed with and have worked hard to cultivate those communication skills, in written, visual, and audible forms.
In the spirit of transparency and humility here are my top drawbacks:
- I can be impatient – Sometimes I forget that the world doesn’t always move at the pace I would like and I need to take a deep breath
- I can be OCD-ish – Sure attention to detail is a good thing, but ON OCCASSION I catch myself trying to make perfect that which good enough would suffice
- I wear my heart on my sleeve and my opinion on my face – Though I have learned to bite my tongue, hard…as in all that is left is a stub…but it has meant better relationships
I KNOW ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT I CAN ALWAYS KNOW MORE.
