Professional Characteristics

Leadership and Management profile make-up:

Myers/Briggs: INFJ-A

Shapes in the Workplace: Triangle

Engram: 8

Color/Standout: Red/Green

Standout archetypes: Creator/Connector

DISC: D

I strongly value succinct and thoughtful communication- with a consideration for confidentiality. I value the human element and operate with respect in decision-making; whether decisions are desired or not, they will be fair and just. In my many reference letters, character references, and profile make-up assessments, you will find that I can easily pivot and I am a strong "Creative" - meaning that I quickly analyze and discover connections and find patterns and solutions and how it affects the whole picture. I operate in the capacity of very solutions-focused. I receive my energy from engagement with people and spend a great deal of time assisting other's in achieving success. I believe the healthiest activity any group of people can engage in is to laugh and navigate the past with a humor and compassion as companion on their journey. In my reference letters you might also assess that it is noted that I am an active listener, motivator, catalyst for transformation, and doer. There is no task that cannot be considered. I am motivated by witnessing transformative change and visualizing dreams. Lastly, being from a family of Educators, and being a former teacher myself, I approach workplace changes with assessment/ risk/achievement / objectives/ judgement and outcome at all times.
