CREDITS
SKILLS
| Confidence | I have developed a level of confidence in myself to perform at a very high level. Time, practice, and belief in myself have given me that confidence that I can be all that I want to be with hard and smart work. |
| Discipline/Patience | I realized early on in my life, that in order for me to become successful and achieve my goals, I had to make many sacrifices that would take me away from the fun and enjoyment that most people in my age group shared. I've spent many days and nights in my little secret closet to continue on improving who I am today. Much more to this story about why and how I overcame and developed the discipline to move on with an unbelievable passion to succeed.I believe that these two skill sets must go together because patience is denying ones self to have or acquire until a set time is right. That takes discipline. |
| Conversational | It is a must, in today's world to be real and to be able to carry on a conversation with another, just as if you are sitting next to or directly across from that person. It requires a personal connection between you and another individual. |
| Connected | Being connected to copy is paramount! I love to tell stories about life, people, history, and nature. In order to keep my listeners amused, it is absolutely necessary to be connected with the story, as if it was being told about myself. That means that my tone, may change, my inflection or deflection may need to change the course of direction, and maybe my technique has to be changed to bring on a smile or tear somewhere along the way. It is a must to keep the interest of the listener. |
