I'm the type of leader who believes that people come to work with the desire to be part of something bigger and contribute, that they have the majority of the answers, and that growing other leaders is part of my job.Through my career I've had the opportunity to work directly with business owners and top-level leadership to develop better workflows, build stronger project standards, and cultivate company cultures that increase both productivity and employee well-being. Amongst the most important and satisfying strengths I've gained as a result:PEOPLE MANAGEMENT- The greatest output in any environment is to make both customers and employees happy. I derive my own happiness from empowering others to be their absolute best.- I have a record of working with all staff, including those not directly under my leadership, to create a positive workplace, encourage and foster great forward-thinking practices, and mentor/coach our workers. As a team manager, my direct reports have traditionally extremely low turnover. - I also take pride and responsibility in helping employees connect the strategic initiatives of the organization with their own personal responsibilities.PROBLEM RESOLUTION- Like every company, resolving roadblocks must be a priority. For me, this has included project planning, estimating costs, preparing and managing budgets, calculating ROI, and business development.- I had the opportunity to study and practice Lean Six Sigma processes by looking for efficiency mapping operations and leading a dedicated, talented team who subscribed to my goal of being better.- My education also includes a firm foundation in Scrum and agile project management methodologies. I believe frequent, open communication is key to success in all work.COPYWRITING- My passion for writing has been utilized effectively as I've acted as a copywriter on many occasions. I found that wearing this hat, while unexpected, was deeply satisfying.- I provided both technical and creative copywriting for the company website and published materials, as well as for our sales team. I've also provided editorial consultation to co-workers in important client-facing correspondence. I've also had the chance to provide all copy on https://www.riptidepeak.com.
