I manage projects from planning to completion, ensuring that the client's goals are met in the end.

- I work with an international team and many of our team members don’t speak English as a first language. I'm very specific with the way I communicate and provide visual representations of the instructions like screenshots and video.

ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER
Click here to read more about my experience.
As entrepreneurs, we all have weaknesses. It is important to recognize these weaknesses in yourself in order to address them effectively and work towards self-improvement.
Weaknesses that are characterized by low levels of openness, creativity, and conscientiousness can severely limit your ability to succeed in both your personal and professional lives. This will hurt your problem-solving skills, limit your capacity to generate innovative ideas, and undermine your ability to maintain focus and see tasks through to completion.
High levels of neuroticism may cause you to experience anxiety, moodiness, and emotional instability which can hinder your ability to make effective decisions and take risks. On the other hand, being overly agreeable may result in you prioritizing the needs and wants of others over your own, leading to missed opportunities and a lack of assertiveness. Balancing these traits is important in achieving success and fulfillment.
There would be days when your mind or body would refuse to continue working on your most important goal. Having an accountability partner who can help you overcome challenges and stay on track towards achieving your goals is incredibly valuable. They can also serve as a source of stability in the chaotic battlefields of your business, speaking truth about your situation and snapping you out of negative states.
Through my personal experience of overcoming depression and PTSD, I have developed effective systems to keep my mind and body in a healthy peak fighting shape. I can assist you in building similar systems to ensure you're performing at your best. I can be your source of stability in the chaotic battlefields of your business by providing honest and constructive feedback and helping you stay focused on your most important goals.
