- Able to earn the respect and trust of others by delivering what you say
- Able to offer empathy and understanding, blended with pragmatic advice that adds value in every conversation you have
- Inspired and passionate about doing the right thing for people to enhance their lives or their business - understanding that your commercial reward is a natural by-product of doing the right thing, not the primary goal
- Tenacious and determined to succeed
- Commercially astute and self-respecting - able to communicate the value of the service you provide
- Able to demonstrate a sharp intellect and ability to understand and solve different challenges every day
- Hungry to develop and be better tomorrow than you were yesterday
