With that I can develop good relationships with people by positively affecting my communication with them. This strength makes working in a team more efficient and productive. In the working world, it can really be unpredictable and even wild at times and so I’ve adopted a mindset, that is “to survive you need to improvise, overcome and adapt”, this is concept has helped me overcome a lot of physical, mental and spiritual hardship I’ve faced in my life, which has made me push myself to be hardworking, determined and resilient.
