I'm obsessed with creating structures and systems that generate results. I just so happen to create them to generate new business opportunities and partnerships as a Business Development Manager. Combining this obsession with my sense of humor, I'm known to be the guy that people want to be around, but not someone to be held accountable to.I also consider myself an idealist. I believe that there are common practices in our day-to-day lives that we consider the be "normal", and our peers expect us to tolerate and execute these practices. However, they aren't exactly ideal. It troubles me when a situation comes up and the question is asked, "why do we do it that way?", and the person who is expected to know the reason, has no idea. It's even more troubling when they say "well, that's just how we've always done it".Don't get me wrong, I'm always a fan of sticking to what works. As I've said before, I'm very results-oriented. However, I think the structures, systems, and practices we put in place become outdated or irrelevant over time. We need to be the type of people in our workspace who stop and ask "is it time for a change?", or "does this need to be reevaluated again?". Additionally, being an idealist doesn't make me popular in a crowd of people who are comfortable or scared of change. This is a space where I aspire to inspire. I feel a sense of fulfillment when I can get that "comfortable" group of people excited about improvements, excited about change! When those individuals are inspired to step out of their comfort zone in search for the ideal, I get excited!This is the mindset that I apply to being a Marketing and Business Development Manager.
