Communication is meant to be iterative; ideas are meant to be dissected; and solutions are meant to be inobvious.I am a fast and creative thinker, and grasp concepts with ease. I enjoy conversations that lead off on a tangent to unknown places, and a friendly debate now and then is great fun. I express my ideas and thoughts clearly, and firmly believe in building communication and relationships. I possess the necessary grit and courage to approach challenges head-on, and navigate them with strong critical thinking skills, and with an acute awareness of the environment I am in. I have been described as strong in emotional intelligence, maturity of thought, perception and reasoning power, with a collaborative, reflective and thoughtful personality. Having had the opportunity to work in two different office environments, I also strongly believe in the necessity of cohesion and team spirit when it comes to the motivation and effectiveness of the team. I enjoy story-writing, drawing, reading political history.A few achievements in my lifetime include being awarded the Uniformed Group (UG) Certificate of Distinction (Gold Award) for my service in National Cadet Corps (Land); and chosen after a selection process to participate in the Creative Arts Programme (CAP) 2018, which was jointly organised by the Gifted Education Branch, Ministry of Education and Yale-NUS College. I am keen in a career in policy and strategy, and appreciate an opportunity to discuss my contribution to your organisation. Please email me at yapshengregory@gmail.com.
