Although responsibilities and problems usually put away smiling, I manage to keep it up! Remaining calm and over-control has proven to be the prerequisite in communications, and also the only way to work effectively within teams that produce strategic and creative results. Respecting others and listening to them carefully is my own way to gain respect and equality.
Love coaching teams, trying to bring their hidden qualities and skills on-top, and when I coach it becomes childishly simplistic to transfer knowledge. I believe simplicity is the entry point of understanding and thinking good solutions. I have chosen to believe in people, and have the tendency to demand they bring value. I also find it critically insightful when doing my work, to talk to consumers, experts and people who have an opinion for the project I care for, prior deciding what to do. As we do in real life! The world of communications needs no ‘expert biases', but rather to open up and listen the world of target-audiences. Sounds simple? Check if it happens...
Love to write, read, conceptualize, rooted in my early years as a copywriter when I learned to construct the logos in communications and to convey appropriate messaging. Later on, I crafted my ability to associate concepts and insights with Business issues.
