• Your Traits – What are your natural tendencies and what are you passionate about? Are you flexible, do you work effectively in team environments, do you assist in fostering an inclusive working environment?
• Your Drivers – What gets you out of bed every morning and helps you sleep at night? We would like to hear about your values, if you enjoy being challenged or what achievement looks like to you.
