Biography
I am a talent scout. I help people find their talents and improve them.
I work with leaders and teams - particularly people in technology careers - to leverage what they do best. I know every event is the consequence of a series of thoughts, feelings, and actions, leading to results. I help people stuck in results they don't want to change this cycle and get results they do want.
I link together ideas no one else considered. I bring people together. I form a bond with each individual as I begin to understand his or her circumstances. I naturally identify with someone’s situation. I have a gift for helping people discover what they have in common.
My thoughtful insight for each person allows me to mix and match everyone’s talents, creating a powerful team. The strengths of one person can compensate for the limitations of another person. A group’s strength lies in the diversity of its member's knowledge, experiences, skills, natural abilities, motivations, or thinking styles.
I am innovative, inventive, original, and resourceful. I customarily pinpoint the core problems and identify the best solutions. I artfully and skillfully eliminate distractions, helping people gain a clear understanding of what is happening and why it is happening. I frequently identify ways to transform an obstacle into an opportunity. I make sense out of seemingly unrelated information. I draw clever linkages between facts, events, people, problems, or solutions. My innovative thinking tends to foster ongoing dialogue between and among a group’s participants.
