I'm here on earth to change, improve and make what is there more efficient. I'm able to lead and guide and see the bigger picture. I work best when others activate me with a question / idea or thought, so that I know that I'm rightfully invited to contribute. My personality is best described as a Projector (shine a light on the matter). I am naturally focused on other people, to see what is going on in others and I like to pay attention/focus on them. As a born team player I'm dependent on others to a certain degree, because only in relation to others I can make a guiding and organizing contribution. My Top 5 skills were analyzed through a Gallup Clifton Strengths test as: 1. Arranger - Organizational skills 2. Learner - Eagerness to learn 3. Relationships - Enabling very different people to work together productively 4. Achiever - Performance oriented 5. Strategic - Strategic thinking and execution
