As a visionary, leader and subject specialist within the social sciences field, I describe myself as future orientated and a champion for social change and development. I have the skills and experience to create and mobilize staff and teams through the medium of positive communication and motivational language. I am also able to manage conflict in a professional and constructive means to ensure problems are addressed and not avoided. I value synthesising complex issues while emphasising innovation and entrepreneurial thinking in the process. Through strategic leadership I am able to relate, align and maximise the internal direction of the organisation to meet criteria; outcomes and specific requirements. I also strive to meet quality assurance requirements and to partner with external role players and stakeholders in this process. Through these resourceful and influential partnerships, I strive to develop and include macro-environmental factors in ensuring a positive impact on the organisation and its success. Having a strong networking ability, I enjoy and succeed in connecting people across stakeholder and divisional groups. I value the support and contributions of the network of associates and team members to ensure the implementation of detail-oriented tasks to ensure progress and success. I consider myself a professional student of life and value research as an ongoing competency in my life
