Responses indicating a Task Positive Nature Responses indicating a Socio-emotional Nature
I love solving problems, I love taking things that are ambiguous and putting together a plan and attacking. I get inspired by just making a difference. I love to engage.
Ultimately (I am) trying to find the right balance between work and life. I am most excited and want to do more of hands-on connections with those who are in need.
My primary driver is—it's sort of self-absorbed and altruistic at the same time because I like being recognized and I like being appreciated. I would say what gets me out of bed in the morning as far as employment goes is really understanding the long-term vision and believing in it and having a passion for it.
I think what drives me is a problem that doesn't have a solution. Ultimately, pulling resources and digging deep. For me it was about the overall concepts, working for the greater good of something.
