In order to succeed as a team in a changing business and work environment, my core principles base on the following 4 pillars: Trust, Respect, Support and Fun.On the hockey field I am both, the coach and the goaltender but not a forward, in a music group the drummer and base player but not the singer or the lead guitarist.
