"Throughout my career, I've held the belief that more can be done in a team-based atmosphere. Even when working with bullheaded leaders who want to do things on their own instead of working with others, I think I bring a great deal of experience in convincing these leaders to be part of a greater team. The skilled teams that I've been a part of knew each other's strengths and weaknesses well. Because of this, I like to use fun ice breakers and activities to promote laughter and conversation at the start of meetings about new projects. I also promote and discuss the importance of open lines of communication, and I stress that team members pick up the phone or send an email to always be in communication on progress made or questions that need to be asked."

"If hired for this position, the team-building techniques I would bring to the table would center on respect and trust, as I've found these to be the biggest detriments of teams. Step one would be to promote an environment where every team member has a voice and the ability to be part of the decision-making processes. Step two would be to create an environment where team members are honest and work towards a greater goal. Once these things are accomplished, a team can function to the highest of its ability."
