I am the type of person that will check first if you tell me the sky is blue. This has allowed me to nurture a valuable skill to respond from a place of knowledge instead of reacting out of emotion or lack of understanding. I assimilate general knowledge with voracious fervour enabling me to communicate with people in a register they are comfortable with and regarding a topic of interest to them. I speak when I feel I can add to a conversation and listen when I feel I can learn from it. This is also a skill I use when competing in my professional or personal life. My interests include History, Politics, Sport, Music current affairs and basically anything that might be of interest and can be inserted as a point of commonality to effectively communicate
Reading is particularly important and consider suspense novels to be a guilty pleasure, junk food for the brain.
