Christian Blakey

Director

Fishers, Indiana, United States

Summary

I am an engaging, stimulating communicator, poised and capable of projecting enthusiasm and warmth, and of motivating other people. I have a strong sense of urgency, initiative, and competitive drive to get things done, with emphasis on working with and through people in the process. I understand people well and use that understanding effectively in influencing and persuading others to act. Impatient for results and particularly impatient with details and routines, I am confident and venturesome “doer” and decision-maker who will delegate details and can also delegate responsibility and authority when necessary. I am a self-starter who can also be skillful at training and developing others. I apply pressure for results, and my style is more “selling” than “telling.”

I am at ease and self-assured with groups or in making new contacts, I am a gregarious and extraverted, has an invigorating impact on people, and is always “selling” in a general sense. I learn and react quickly and work at a faster-than-average pace. I can adapt quickly to change and variety in the workplace. In general terms, I am ambitious and driving person who is motivated by opportunity for advancement to levels of responsibility where I can use my skills as team builder, motivator, and mover.
