• PRINCE2 (or similar related) qualification
I possess a PRINCE 2 qualification in project management and have studied the working styles of the project managers I have worked under. As part of the Human Centred management project I managed all activities and observed project managers from highly influential brands.
As part of the Human Centred Management project I also studied the psychology of effective communication and decision making.

As a task is progressing I communicate my progress to the relevant people in order to ensure expectations are met. This is especially important when co-ordinating tasks with others or collaborating on one task. Once a task is complete I respond to feedback and ensure that my performance is constantly
