Skill building

My skill building comes in different shades from learning how to communicate and maneuver the outside world, to learning how to communicate and maneuver the inside world (friends & family). The potential I have stems from my confidence in leaning into new discoveries in working in automotive, construction, customer service, and great ability to follow precise orders without skipping a beat. I am accustomed to working outside and in high stress areas from being 25+ ft in the air to fitting into tight spaces to accomplish a task. I am constantly conscious and aware of my suroundings and love dissecting and understanding personalities to better myself and my environment. and Not only do I actively seek new ways to progress my mental and physical health. I also seek new ways to progress my skillsets and learn how to fail accurately and fail less each time. I am fairly confident in myself that with risk management and planning, any position, and any problem can be resolved or bypassed. I enjoy learning new skillsets that progress my value in the workforce and am not afraid to learn new skills as well as take orders and pay attention to those who understand and are knowledgeable. I am open to constructive criticism and am conscious and aware of personality traits which allows me to customize myself to fit different needs and different personality types and groups. I am not afraid to work in rough conditions and high stress situations and am fairly confident in my emotional regulation.
