INTRODUCTION
WHO I am:
I am a trained consultant, a no-nonsense, down-to-earth manager and a fervent pragmatist who works closely with entrepreneurs and small organizations to reach their objectives.
WHAT I do:
My goal is to use a systemic approach to add value, increase performance and solve problems, while ensuring that valuable resources are used to their full potential.
WHY I do it:
I love challenges. And this is what I like most about my work: it allows me to use my decisiveness, discipline and perseverance to help others achieve their goals. And seeing the feeling of pride and satisfaction of people when we succeed overcoming obstacles and see results... addictive. I just love it.
HOW I do it:
It is essential in my work to be able to understand the « big picture », the unique needs and constraints to each client / organization. One of my strengths is the ability to integrate emotional intelligence to rational and objective thinking, allowing me to quickly assess things from different perspectives.
