Dynamic
personality, exceptional interpersonal skills
Extremely energetic presence that is positive and uplifting.
Has consistently used a natural affinity for people to make them
want to be a member of the team. Takes time to understand the
partners and what motivates them. A balance of easy-going mixed
with a spirit of competition. Looks to be engaged in activities,
personally and professionally that draw upon a passion for life.
Active
listener, concise communicator
Gathers and parses various viewpoints, seeking to create synergy.
Confirms that what is being heard is what the speaker meant to
say. Uses tools such as agendas to move effectively through meetings.
Supervisors and peers have praised the short e-mails with descriptive
titles that quickly frame the situation, bullet the needed actions
and distribute the responsibilities.
Seasoned,
persuasive public speaker
More than just comfortable in front of a crowd, there's a general
sense in the audience that Shawn is thoughtful and engaging.
The natural stage presence is a talent that has been honed over
time in sales pitches to potential customers, as a national instructor
for the National Order of the Arrow, and defending work as an
student of Architecture and as an MBA candidate. Thinking quickly
allows unscripted moments to feel well rehearsed, and for the
right audience, a carefully crafted message to feel folksy and
inviting.
Entrepreneurial
spirit, willingness to take well reasoned risk and make decisions
Senses business opportunities and seeks to fulfill them in a
timely manner. Analyzes people and situations before rendering
judgment. Believes in balancing action and planning - realizing
that either extreme can have unintended consequences. Tough and
competitive when necessary, but possesses the ability to build
consensus.
Self-starter,
ability to work with a group or individually
Whether working from a home office for five years, or in a corporate
headquarters, the results are always positive - a sign of a strong
work ethic. In outside sales the employee is bound foremost by
the quota, which measures quantitatively the effort of the individual.
Missed one quarterly quota at MacCenter, quickly making up for
the shortfall the next quarter with $1.2 million in sales.
