Yes! Getting to the essence is what I do. Thanks to my interest and communication skills, I know how to put my finger on the sore spot.

When we get to the core, I pick up right away. What is that dot on the horizon and what concrete steps do we need to take to get there?

I keep a tight rein on the distribution of action points. With my enormous drive, I keep myself and my teammates focused and motivated.

A tad bit critical? Perhaps. I prefer to call it an eye for quality. I like pace, but the right quality is at least as important.

As as consequence of a number of incidents, I was responsible as project manager safety for a change in the workplace culture and to give safety a higher priority. Thus, in this project I strengthened both the safety structures and the safety culture within WSHD. To strengthen the structure, I coordinated sub-projects that strengthened strategy, frameworks and processes. I also contributed to communication plans, workshops and information meetings to further develop the culture. In addition, I mobilized and led the Safety Team – consisting of about 100 employees and communicated closely with stakeholders from different layers within the organisation, from the MT/DR to the operational staff. As a result, I made great strides in terms of leadership.
