Februalin's journey with my team has been one I find as one of the most wonderful experiences I've had as (Emerson Climate Technologies) team lead.
She is innovative, openly suggesting detailed process improvements that have helped us deliver what we have promised to our customers as an organization.
As a pioneer, Februalin has proven herself as an integral part of our team, consistently challenging the limits of the excellent customer service that she provides for our customers and the level of what we can give as a whole team. There were a lot of times in which she has proven herself capable of navigating the team into better performance, despite multiple stumbling blocks and challenges.
Februalin has an analytical mind, very detailed-oriented and resourceful in fulfilling her tasks. She both has the capability to do excellent work as an individual and as a member of a team.
I love the Shed Your TED Light challenge. Just want you to know I thought it was really valuable!
We found Februalin's expertise and experience in the fields of communication, strategic planning, and remote teaching to be an invaluable asset both within the company and with our clientele which includes Nestle, Danone, and Bouygues Telecom and many others. We greatly appreciated the quality of instruction and extensive knowledge in diverse domains.
It is also important to emphasize her ability to adapt to high-pressure situations in different working environments as well as with a variety of clients. She not only displayed her people and project management skills for special accounts but she also demonstrated on numerous occasions her organizational and technical skills especially with filling systems and software technologies.
In a short period of time she had earned the trust and respect of management, colleagues and clients.
I have been impressed with Februalin’s ability to communicate, her organizational skills, and her creativity and tenacity at solving problems. Her ability to patiently work with clients is excellent, and results in a high level of customer service.
Having engaged her as a thought leadership content developer, Februalin jumped in as my partner, immediately grasping the strategic implications of what I was seeking. She quickly put in place a structure for us to collaborate...and looked for opportunities to improve the way we worked. She was eager to learn and listened carefully to what I was trying to get across. She often researched to find new angles and recommended new ways for me to promote my business.
In Februalin you will be hiring a person who genuinely aims to not only deliver on her commitments but improve your business.
Before this, I had a vague idea of what I wanted to communicate but your challenge helped me find the succinct language to express it.
Your work has been extremely helpful... I'm currently developing an online course and writing a TED talk and the clarity you offer is inspiring me to really dig deep and move forward with confidence. Thank you so much.
What a powerful learning resource, Februalin! I mean...yeah really good content.
From my 10 years in HR, I thought I understood people. Now I realize I was asking the wrong questions all along.
Februalin has a good rapport with people. Her ability to connect with them and her talent at teaching simple concepts, as well as more advanced topics, are both commendable. She is a driven, organized teacher who develops inspiring relationships with learners. I recommend her to you without reservation.
Over the years, Ms. Paquera also counseled us on various communication-related issues and edited text on our behalf. I am highly satisfied with her professionalism and the way she executes every task assigned to her.
