Why you want me on your team... Unique combination of experience, ability and interests, including Business Development/Sales, crossed with critical thinking, problem solving, data analysis and project planning abilities that allows me to look at both the intricate details and 30,000 foot overwiew that today’s leaders need.Who is the audience, the client, customer, member? Why is our product/service the right solution? Who can I leverage from my broad network, to call that audience? (*Notice I didn't ask, what is the product or service - because, in most cases, the what that can be learned, it's a widget or a process).Project-based - Who are the stakeholders, the end user, and why is it important to implement the strategy, tool, or process? Who is a resource to help me, and who, in turn, will I need to train? My ability to contribute is based on my capacity to learn new hard skills, to really think about the best approach, best practice. Experience matters. Awareness matters. I can answer many of your "why's." My ability to adapt and learn are the reasons I want to work for an organization that starts with "who," because I can be that person can take your "why" and produce. But by focusing on the WHO and the WHY, we can more efficiently craft a plan to accomplish the WHAT. So let's reframe the question - Why is the objective important? How many initiatives fail because you started with the "what" and didn't have the right person, the "who" you need to accomplish the objective?We all have made mistakes and bad decisions. I don't regret them. I learn from them, and apply that experience in a thoughtful and forward-looking way. I believe in education - especially informal. I believe degrees and designations are important, but I also believe real-life, personal and professional experience provide more meaningful, memorable lessons.I believe in our community, our people and our children. I am excited to watch them grow, learn, explore, make mistakes, gain experience and learn from their mistakes, but put them in a position to make fewer mistakes or short-sighted decisions.\
