Philosophy and guiding principles
-
Customer partnership is the key to success
- I want to build a long-term relationship with you and your company.
- I am committed to your success.
- Because your company is different from other companies, I customize the services to fit your exact needs.
- Should we determine that your needs are outside of my area of expertise, I will suggest a more appropriate provider to fulfil them.
I “walk the talk”
- I live what I preach: I am continually developing my skills; I enjoy change and am open to other cultures. I KNOW that communicating effectively is necessary to maintaining good relationships with others; this is important to me.
- Learning is one of my passions: I consider it a joy, and I love to communicate that to others.
- I do what I enjoy, and I enjoy what I do. In that way I give the best of myself. It is good for me and for the others around me.
-
To me, improvisation theatre is an absorbing, entertaining vehicle for self-development.
You can rely on my:
- Enthusiasm & Creativity
- Empathy & Patience
- Openness & Honesty
- Wisdom & Experience
- Sense of humour
Change
- Change is life; life is change. Fighting against this, we only stand to damage our strength.
- When change takes us outside of our comfort zone, there are great opportunities for creativity and learning.
Learning
- Learning is what our human brains are made for.
- Learning means experiencing, taking risks, making mistakes. Training means offering a safe environment for learning.
- For learning to take place, we need to trigger emotions.
- Fun and training are compatible, and is an effective combination.
Creativity
- Everybody is creative. Some people may think they are not, but their creativity can be unlocked.
Relationships
- People don’t understand each other until they can see from the other’s point of view
