Skilled in COMMUNICATIONS, DISCOVERY and CREATIVITY
'Communications' is my strong suit. Built consensus within Air Force and other military Service programs, budgets and operations. Led successful negotiations with International partners and cross-cultural, non-governmental Agencies. Success at all levels of performers, and echelons of command/management. Created successful, extra-doctrinal approaches to evolving missions.
'Discovery' comes from years of research. Discovered solutions where none previously existed. Skilled at generating suitable 'options' to one-of-a-kind issues. See ways forward often 'invisible' to others. Clearly identify differences and similarities within myriad of conflicting factors.
'Creativity' blends into all I do. Imagination blended with experience is key to problem solving. Artistic, right-brained viewpoint adds dimension and energy to solid solutions. Emotional intelligence contributes to analytic approaches to leadership, professionalism and solutions.
