Background

About Daria Head

Having dual citizenship - German and American - I grew up in two cultures and speak both languages fluently. I believe I have learned to combine positive attitudes of the American culture with positive traits of the German culture. My love for nature and sports manifests itself in my daily life. This brings me to beautiful places and helps me ground myself. My weekly yoga practice keep me in balance. As a former elite athlete stamina and ambition are my strongest traits. For me people always come first. This determines my thinking and doing. I love helping others define and achieve their goals. As an achiever I have an internal fire burning inside me. I florish in a working environment where I can work as hard as I want and in which I am encouraged to measure my own productivity. My activator strength helps me make decisions, I take action, I look at the result, and I learn. My strength lies in making my own decisions and acting upon them. I strive to help transform innovative ideas into immediate action. I possess the ability to create motion and momentum in others. The relator in me enjoys work atmospheres in which friendships are encouraged. Work styles and company cultures that are integral and authentic are very important for me. My feel for responsibility has sometimes gotten in my way: I tend to take psychological ownership for anything I commit to. This again though has led to my reputation of being utterly dependable. I work best in an environment in which my manager gives me the freedom to follow through on my commitments. I can be trusted to get stuff done. As an arranger I am also a conductor. I shine in effective flexibility and I recognize talents, skills and knowledge in people and help get them on the right seat of the bus. My instinctive mental juggling may intimidate others as they might find it hard to break with exisiting procedures. Here I have learned to inform others of my progress to ease fears.
