Involved in all aspects of the non-profit organizations activities, from writing business plans, negotiating contracts, dispute and conflict negotiations, collaboration, raising money, hiring, coaching, and mentoring. Developing operational systems, overseeing Operations development, putting together office and systems, public speaking, travel to develop relationships.

Leadership

As a leader, showing people that you are honest even when it means admitting to a mistake, displays a key trait that people are looking for in their leaders.

Looking forward - plan and vision and spent time thinking about where the organization is heading

Competency - As a leader, one of the safest ways to celebrate and bring attention to team achievements. In this way I indirectly point out my competency as a leader.

Inspiration - Take note of people who inspire and analyze the way they communicate. Look for ways to passionately by expressing my vision, while there will always be room for improvement

Intelligent - ability to demonstrate respect for the intellect of others will probably do more to influence the perception of my intellect than my actual intelligence.
