You put people at ease, especially when there are lines of difference. You listen closely to understand needs or concerns and take steps based on that input. You get back to people in a timely manner. You take pride in providing clear, helpful information.
  • Adaptability and problem-solving
    • In your work with students as well as fellow educators, you take advantage of unexpected opportunities and address challenges as they arise. You look for the root of problems, so you can seek solutions. You approach your work with a spirit of "yes and...", remaining flexible and adapting as things change.
