Professionalism – Extensive experience smoothly navigating corporate America.
Willingness to be pro-active – when I see something that needs to be done, I do it
(or arrange for it to be done).
A positive attitude – I think you will find me a pleasure to work with.
The ability to solve complex problems and think creatively – If you have a
question, I will find an answer. If you have a puzzle I will do my best to solve it and if I can’t,
then I will find the person who can. I am an expert at locating and vetting information and I
love doing research.
Respect for your organization – I will immerse myself in the job and your
technology. I will learn the details of your products.
Flexibility – I will adapt to the changing needs of the position. “That’s not my job” is not
part of my vocabulary.
Coordination – I will arrange complicated events or meetings nationally, internationally,
or at a space station when the time comes.
Presentation – I will host meetings efficiently and engagingly. I am well-versed in executive
level presentations and will expertly gauge the appropriate amount of summarization needed to
keep you informed without bogging you down.
Commitment – I have no restrictions on travel or hours. I can be productive any time and just
about anywhere. Unless I pre-arrange otherwise, I will usually respond to work-related issues
24/7.
Reliability – I will meet deadlines.
Efficiency – I will single task and multi-task in the most efficient manner and I know when to
tell the difference.
Ability to prioritize – I know when to shift my focus to meet more urgent demands.
Virtual office maturity – I have a nice well-appointed home office dedicated to the most
effective way to carry out the responsibilities of my position.
