"I was initially interested in the Team Leader position because I enjoy helping people stretch beyond their limits, embrace their dreams and pursue opportunities that cultivate growth through inspiration. What I like best about the role is connecting with others on a consistent basis. I believe most Professional Resources under-utilize their ability to sell and/or expand a client engagement. Within our project roles we have many opportunities where we can make recommendations that impact the project's effectiveness or Siegfried's future relationship. We are excellent at delivering value on a unilateral basis, but could significantly capitalize on the opportunity to interconnect project work streams through collaboration."
