Creativity:
Creativity allows us to view and solve problems more openly and with innovation. I have demonstrated creativity in identifying gaps/loopholes at workplace to create innovative solutions or more positive and collaborative work environments. Creativity has now become an essential skill for keeping up with the ever-changing demands of the global marketplace.

Problem solving involves critical thinking, decision-making, creativity, and information processing. In my role I have used a systematic approach that allowed me to break down difficult problems into smaller, more manageable parts. When we had program ramp downs, I spearheaded the cross functional trainings to support volume crisis for the teams

Crafting Creative Opportunities from Every Challenge

Challenges have always pushed me beyond the boundaries of my comfort zone and it often required me to work with unfamiliar processes, techniques, or themes. This made me to discover new ways of thinking and problem-solving:

Embrace Challenges as Opportunities:
Embracing challenges is a mindset that has transformed my life. By having a growth mindset, setting realistic goals, seeking feedback, and learning from setbacks, I developed resilience, determination, and a thirst for personal growth. Facing challenges provided me the opportunities for self-reflection and personal growth

Maintain a Positive Attitude:
I strongly believe that having a positive attitude at work is crucial for both personal well-being and job satisfaction. Positivity isn’t solely dependent on external factors; internal tools such as deep breathing, setting personal goals, and assuming responsibility for my own actions and reactions have boosted my attitude

Seek Input and Collaboration:
Hearing out diverse perspectives of the individuals and collaboration with the team can foster a healthy work culture and environment where teams of individuals can achieve goals through powerful skills and effective work. Collaborative teamwork can promote innovation, increase job satisfaction, find solutions to resolve problems and develop excellent soft skills.

Being able to adapt to changing environments and work processes have made me a competitive job candidate and a strong overall professional. Having adaptability skills means that a person is open and willing to learn new things and take on new challenges.

Maintain Strategic Agility:
With the rapid evolution in the organisations, the purpose of strategic agility is required to enhance efficiency and guarantee business continuity. As a scrum master ,I value and understand the necessity of agility  as it ensures products and services are closely aligned with customer needs

Learn from Setbacks and Failures:
Failure provides us with an opportunity to learn from our mistakes. When I fail, I take a step back and analyze what went wrong, identify the root causes & this process of reflection has helped me to understand my strengths and weaknesses, as well as the areas where I needed to improve. Failure has indeed taught me resilience and perseverance. This resilience and determination can be invaluable in achieving success, both in our personal and professional lives.
