SUMMARY:
- The career path I desire is to be a part of an organization that helps others, has concise goals, and is structured in a way that promotes inclusiveness.
- To be a part of an organization that has structures in place that allow for employee growth from within.
- To be a productive and valuable part of the organizations team.
- Retail on a small scale and several fields of construction on a small scale
- Very successful sales results in the retail outdoors field
- A firm belief that I can sell or drive anything I fully believe in if I have the knowledge, skills, and or abilities to back up those beliefs. It becomes more akin to persuasion, not sales.
- As with sales, if I believe and have the knowledge, skills, and or abilities to back up those beliefs, I am a very effective and persuasive communicator.
- Can communicate effectively with groups and individuals to achieve common goals
- Open style of communication to try to continuously see issues at hand from all perspectives
- I do not believe that leaders are born. I believe they learn to be great leaders and that they should always lead by example if possible. I am still a work in progress when it comes to leadership abilities. I believe that this learning process occurs over the course of our entire lives, so we never stop learning about leadership.
