The essence of me is about providing a vision of influence; seeing the world as a whole, while still being grounded. I lived with limits to track my past achievements and future progress. Every moment of my life, I am no better than my last triumph or my first failure.I possess the powerful and rather unusual combination of being able to both analyze and empathize. Yes, I understand numbers, facts, data, and proof. But I also understand human beings. I can explain things to people. I can explain people to other people. I can connect people with things. Where others see only data, I see stories, trends, and movements. I bridge the gap between raging emotions and hard facts.My ideal role is developing systems, people and processes, but I do so with great attention to feelings and connotations. I’m not a cold executor, so in life, I have a deep awareness of what the common experience feels like. Where others are touchy-feely and subjective, I’m rigorous and to the point. I have a keen awareness of both process details and the result. I break things down into their elements and when something goes wrong I know exactly why. I know that even though people may forget what I said, they remember how I said it. I hate to be remembered for hurting people’s feelings. People recall how they felt when they were with me. I compose the most important part of the story, which is the fleshy, human, messy part. My incisive nature can grate on emotive people, yet I should make an effort to work with them. I can harness their connectedness to achieve not only desired outcomes but do it tastefully and tactfully.
