Furthermore, I collaborated with leadership to create PowerPoint presentations for shift-start meetings, led team stretches, and fostered team engagement and motivation. When my manager required assistance with Excel, my prior experience enabled me to instruct them on creating and interpreting spreadsheets. Although these tasks extend beyond the typical duties of an associate, my leadership skills and proactive approach contribute to the growth and positive atmosphere of the workplace.
