Commencing Date 1 February 1985
Commencing Position Training Services Assistant II
Current position Training Services Assistant II
Working Ethic For as long as I keep up with my committed performance goals in the best way I can, utilizing my personal "means" or style and what the institution provides to facilitate my work, I am convinced of the power of principles, systems and personal integrity; especially the latter, where there is no unity of life, defilement of what is personal or professional life is not far from happening. I therefore struggle each day to have unity of life, in the simples way I can, so that whatever work-related outcome would be an acceptable one, or even a beautiful offering to make or share
Personal Motto When it comes to buckling down to work, I am focused on getting the job done, doing it right and on time without resorting to fancy fireworks and big plans. So I suppose Peter Marshall was correct in saying "small deeds done are better that great deeds planned", and when it comes to work output with high quality. I go for Benjamin Franklin in his witty quip: "well done is better than well said."
