I like thinking hard and helping people. Or rather, I do those things compulsively, and do my best to do so in service. I call myself a 'strategist', which isn't a term I particularly like but people seem to think it means 'a thoughtful person who can help me', so it tends to work. I do quite a few different things, with a thread of understanding people, communications and change.
