I can see connections and patterns where others see only a mess of unconnected facts and data. I can talk and write about technical matters for a non-technical audience and in a non-technical manner. I write well, think quickly on my feet and am at ease with public speaking. I always give the truth as I see it, rather than what my audience/paymasters may want to hear.
