When do you personally feel most valuable at work? I feel most valuable when I'm solving a problem, especially we work with a lot of complex problems where you have to think about many different dimensions, and finding solutions to that. It's really exciting to me. The the instances where I feel most valued and most valuable really are when I when I engage with people, when I can leverage my experience and and obviously the the great work that our teams do, but to really engage and help shape how people think about the challenges they're facing, or learning new skills or … I take a lot of as an entrepreneur – I take a lot of pride in knowing that we're creating jobs, you know, that I'm providing a lot of job opportunities, so I do feel very valuable when I know that I can reiterate certain core aspects of our culture, of our values, and when I know I can help someone develop, you know, in their career process and going from, you know, where they are today to potential, like a next step in their professional life. That's maybe that's what I think: empowering others is the big, big thing. I think if I can add value for my team, if I can solve problems that without connecting people, without doing having the relationships, if they cannot be solved and I can help my team solving that, then I think I am doing my job very well and I feel very valuable. I'm really trying to come up with innovative ideas and be a trusted partner of my stakeholders. I feel valued when they appreciate the work and … yeah, they value me as a member of the team and a good contributor.
