"When I was a mentor in a juvenile detention center I constantly had to be on my toes in order to handle groups of 15+ kids. One time we were doing an activity that was planned for the day but none of the kids were getting into it. I quickly changed the game to one that was more high energy and everyone responded well. This shows that I am able to not only think on my feet but read a room of people I am unfamiliar with."

"Yes, I am a quick thinker. I recently wanted to plan a speaker meeting, I was covering a new indication I had been trained on. I had 2 different colleagues suggesting to me two different speakers which were causing a rift between the team. One wanted to use a speaker that we had already used, but the other colleague thought he was good enough. My other colleague wanted to use a speaker that was from out of the territory. To solve the problem I suggested a speaker from the same ICS that I know is good at delivering the value message that both colleagues were happy with."

"Oh Yes, I consider myself a quick thinker, I can process information quickly, come straight to a few potential solutions. I normally use simple problem-solving techniques like PRIDE (Problem definition, Rationale, Investigate, develop, Ensure to sustain) in case this required a structural solution.

We were working on a very confidential project i.e. Transfer of RF-Coils manufacturing from ____ to ___. This project impacted more than 250 employees on-site in GNV, FL.

I was 2 years old in the system as director of operations. I was the only person involved in creating a business case and we need to take a decision to block funds for Manufacturing Zig and Fixtures. I think quickly, refer asset register, find out the value, consider 60% new assets and 40% will use the same on new site and arrived $3.65M."

"Yes, I believe I can think effectively when under pressure to try and solve problems or to complete a task. For example, we switched our wholesaler supplier and had some teething problems and one of my hospitals called me and said they couldn't order any tins of our thickener and the hospital was down to their last 3 tins and it was a Friday. I got straight on to the wholesaler for an emergency few cases to be delivered the following morning even though it was a weekend, averting the crisis of no thickener left, and this support for the customer calmed them down. And found out who I need to speak to in purchasing and supported in the setting up the account with the new supplier."

"I consider myself a very quick thinker because I can usually see the big picture and put all the puzzle pieces in place very fast as long as I understand the process. In my case, this is usually a customer wanting a special deal or a refund on a service. Zionsville is a small town and to maintain good service everything must be consistent because the word will get out. Thinking out of the box to keep a customer or obtain a new customer is done on a regular basis. My latest example is when a client of another trainer paid for 10 sessions and wasn't happy after the first session and wanted a refund (we can't give refunds to one and not another and if we gave refunds we'd go broke). I validated their issue without throwing the trainer under the bus, discussed why she wanted training in the first place, and told her weight loss is my expertise. I currently do not take new clients but I would make an exception for her. However I charge $10/hour more for my expertise and I am glad to credit the amount of 1 session to 10, session package with me if she wanted. She chose to work with me."

"I tend to be analytical, then quick thinking when identifying strong solutions to a challenge. I am however able to jump into action and think clearly when a situation arises. One of my strengths is resourcefulness and thinking outside the box. Two years ago I was leading some tool development projects that were ahead of schedule. At that same time, I learned that a production line was down in one of our manufacturing plants because of tooling, and replacement parts were not available for over a week. I recognized that the prototype tooling for my project was similar to production tooling and could be easily modified for use in production. I also happened to be traveling to the manufacturing site the next day. I contacted our machine shop and asked that they prioritize the tool modification, then informed management in the plant. I was able to hand-deliver production tooling the next day. This effort prevented the machine from being down for an entire week. (about $1.2 Million)"

"I would consider myself a quick thinker. In one of the presentations I had to do in my current job, the monitor screen in the presenting room was not working. So I was not able to show my presentation content and data graphs or chart. I then noticed there was a whiteboard. I quickly drew up a simple bar chart and line graphs to help with the content. Due to already having a really good understanding of the presentation content, I didn't use the slides but I was able to present effectively."
