About your Skills

Consulting: You see beyond presenting the problem and identify the fundamental ‘why’. You are a strong systems thinker and co-design potential solutions with the leader and peers.
Influencing: You develop relationships effectively up, down, and across the organization and are able to strategically use these relationships to help move your work forward. You scope a solution that will “get to yes” and also are capable of pushing back on disagreement if they will not provide the outcome needed for the team or the business.
Decision Making: You use critical thinking to follow a defined decision making process and consider multiple perspectives. Upon making a decision, you are clear in your communication and ensure everyone is aligned in execution.
Coaching: You have strong coaching skills that allow you to actively listen and ask the kind of questions that will help you diagnose and effectively address issues.
