About Chris Curtis

I am an entrepreneurial leader who is energetic and dynamic. I grow organizations, surpassing expectations set by others. As well I am a leader that believes in helping staff grow in order to do their work, that teams and teamwork are a fundamental part of success for any organisation. I am a firm believer in working smart and in working hard. Being a flat rather than vertical organization is my preferred structure. I have worked for Boards and been on Boards, so I am familiar with both sides of that working relationship. I am a leader in helping people and communities take control of their future, whether they do this through starting a business, making community development plans, running organizations. I have consulted in fields as diverse as Gender projects, Tourism, Youth, &d Economic Development among many areas. I have been an advocate of self directed community development and have developed and implemented programs that use entrepreneurship and personal development to support people in achieving their dreams and goals, helping to grow communities. My strengths lay in leadership, building consensus, taking action, inspiring people, and directing a group's energies towards a common goal. I have worked to develop entrepreneurial cultures in communities. Innovation, curriculum and program development, and strong facilitation skills are strengths that have helped me be successful in my field.
