I believe I've accrued a variety of skills that will transition well to the role of Trendsetter. Having completed training courses in both Asset Management and Budget Management, I've the skills needed to regulate funding carefully and without waste.  Working as a Logistician, I understand well the intricacies of getting crucial supplies from one place to another undamaged and on time, and as an Optimizer I'm trained to keep a constant eye on internal processes and devise ways to increase efficiency.As a Property Manager, I've had many large assets under my watch and had to regulate a great number of variables simultaneously. I know how to work well with diverse groups and I am practiced with maintaining good relations with the public. I also completed a course called the Art of the Deal Negotiation Tactics, where I learned the science of carefully working out mutually beneficial deals involving multiple parties.Having worked in the construction trades for years and getting certified in a few of them, I have experience working in the "everyday world" with "everyday people." As a Foreman and Project Manager, I have brought multiple crews trained across many differing disciplines together to complete a larger project on time and to the required specifications. These skills will translate nicely over to office in Asgardia, as Asgardia will have numerous projects needing completed as it grows. I was raised to know there is something permanently useful that can be gained in every experience and used in later times. Even qualities I've picked up in my hobbies can be put to use in Asgardia. As a licensed skydiver, I've a great deal of practice in keeping my calm instressful situations and keeping focused on the tasks at hand. In knife forging, I've learned one can take a raw lump of nearly worthless material and, using great care and skill, can shape it into a useful tool. In model building and sailing, I've learned to concentrate and retain a careful eye for details.
