**********@*****.***
Whether developing relationships for marketing purposes, providing excellent customer service, or building connections while interacting with my trainees, experience with interpersonal relationship building has been the highlight of my career. It is my goal to always be reaching out in understanding and motivation to lead others to achieve growing into the best version of themselves. Throughout my life, this goal has been reached frequently. This has been clearly evidenced through my consistent involvement in church and community ministry, my love of training and teaching others, my own passion for providing exceptional customer services, and the level of consistency and care I maintained while I was a Marketing Director. This is also clear through my superior leadership as a General Manager. I create an atmosphere where my employees want to work.
