My patience allows me to be detail-oriented and hunt for errors. I engage my hyper-vigilance powers when in observation mode.
I am willing to take the time to ask impromptu questions of users and stakeholders in an effort to find out more than originally scripted.

As a creative entrepreneur, being a self-starter on projects comes naturally.
I am persistent when it comes to problem solving and do not give up easily, learning from errors and then retrying or pivoting.
-
I’m usually game and I rarely say “no way.”
It feels good to take direction but I also enjoy directing. The main point is to collaborate and I use my flexibility to diffuse tension and show support. I can usually intuit which way to go.
-
I want others to share their thoughts with me and feel at ease doing so.
Careful listening and remembering allows me to be strong for my colleagues and meet task challenges more effectively.
Respectful communication with others, each and every day, is my honor and my duty.

World travel has brought me closer to other cultures and fostered my curiosity about what brings value to others.
I want to understand how and why people complete tasks, maybe even differently at different times.
Meanwhile, when I run into a problem, I enjoy thinking about it from as many angles as I can, which allows me to flip negative feedback into positive outcomes.
