My forte is in crafting and testing novel solutions as remedies to unique problems. An essential skill which I frequently demonstrate is that I develop non-destructive processes to both examine unique problems and to test novel solutions. My long term goal is to direct team-efforts towards development of novel solutions to facilitate adults in their quests to help children to thrive.For instance, many years ago, I recognized that ruses, such as any psychological version of (for instance) Operation Whitecoat, or those portrayed in shows such as Candid Camera, could disrupt student progress by wrongfully disheartening student effort. Ruses could impede Americans' pursuits of happiness, especially if no person concerned themselves with the outcomes of the ruse. In other words, ruse-sters ought to sweat the details when choosing to engage others in their ruses. Especially in academic settings, whenever a ruse-ster could be found, that ruse-ster ought be sweating many details. Furthermore, especially in academic settings, wherever a ruse-ster was perceived to be enjoying government funding while impeding Americans' pursuits of happiness, perhaps there ought exist means by which to facilitate documentation of such frustration. Why not list it as a concern in a widely-circulated Form of Concern? What widely-circulated Form of Concern? Soon after reports on the tragic day at Columbine, the concept of Sweaty Roosters was inspired, partly in such manner.Please note, especially under the "Projects" heading, I list examples of my history of crisis-management. Some of my solutions await to be tested, others have time-tested as successful. As exemplified by the several links immediately below, my actions often address, yet are seldom the cause of, crisis; my behavior frequently models solid remedy to crisis. And, I can enjoy a comical ruse, too: http://improveverywhere.com/2011/06/27/carousel-horse-race/
