I know for certainty while employed as a production associate at Tesla, applying the 5S concept to my personal production improved efficiency in both accuracy and timeliness of overall team performance. I have also implemented the 5S approach in various capacities, encompassing personal life as well as positions held as a Fitness Trainer and warehouse associate. I have incorporated the concept of Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain effortlessly due to my natural inclination for neatness and orderliness.

In the fitness industry, as a membership sales advisor and fitness trainer, actively listening is crucial. In the context of personal training, this translates to attentively absorbing clients and prospective clients words, considering their emotions, understanding their concerns, and responding with sincerity. I Demonstrated strong active listening abilities to connect with new prospects, showing attentiveness towards their fitness goals and expectations at the first interaction.
