I have the ability to look at things in a calm, rational and logical way, even when under pressure I have developed these critical thinking skills through experience and exposure to a wide variety of life challenges, both professionally and personally

As Sergeant, I was in charge of a number of sub-ordinates or various levels of experience and diverse background Choosing to be a leader was a work lifestyle I was heavily invested in I wanted to be a leader and as such, was a student always looking to learn ways to be better The best leaders always see themselves as students, not as experts My mantra was to be the leader I wished I had and this served me well in being able to help those I was leading, be the best versions of themselves, not just for themselves but for others including their employer As such I was always able to lead with influence, integrity and effectiveness
