MY NON-NEGOTIABLES





SET GOALS THAT EXCEED CAPABILITIES



In order to far exceed my current capabilities, I always aim beyond what I am capable of.



CONFIDENCE IS THE GREATEST ASSET



Confidence determines the size of goals, how likely we will achieve these goals, and how well we bounce back from failures.



MAKE INNOVATION A CAPABILITY



It’s not about the goal that measures success. It’s about the climb to see how far I can push myself and innovate.



LET WORK SPEAK FOR ITSELF



I differentiate deep work from shallow work. Deep work is rare, high value, and non-replicable.



SUCCESS ISN'T ENOUGH



It only increases the pressure to do more. I am focused on my next challenge.



NEVER STOP LEARNING



To become the best at what I do, I never stop learning and honing my skills and knowledge.



COACH THROUGH METHODS, NOT SOLUTION



I do not coach people and teams toward a solution, but through methods, as methods are repeatable, allow to build skills, culture, and capability.



FOLLOW THE ONE-PERCENT RULE



You don’t need to be twice as good to get twice the results. Small differences accumulate into significant advantages.



Uniquely positioned to apply multifaceted technical and leadership experience, expertise in all stages of Business Transformation program, process re-engineering, and business management, product management life-cycle, strong cross-functional team management background and extensive track record of innovation and success to enhancing your company’s bottom-line
