HELLO MOST CALL ME CUSTY, SOME CALL ME ELIZABETH & TO THE TWITTERSPHERE I AM @ECUSTY. WELCOME!
Often my quietness is confused with shyness. Sometimes my diverse interests startle people. But always, my talent & work ethic is appreciated. Below are my top five Strengths by StrengthsQuest, they describe me perfectly.
-
Achiever
I yearn to dedicate myself to worthy causes or noble purposes. Fortifying the bonds between myself, the people I know & even those I will never meet gives my life special meaning. -
Communication
I believe most people have a short attention span. I want information to survive. This drives my hunt for the perfect phrase or visual. -
Focus & Discipline
I prioritize, then act. I ponder key points & small details. My ideas are based on good judgement, sound reasoning & relevant evidence.
-
Activator
I simply intend to prove to others that the impossible is possible. My own job, studies & life becomes much more exhilarating when I help others more fully experience their own lives.
About
WORK HARD
Creative Brain
Often times people ask me why I didn’t pursue design or something “creative”. I believe life is creative and the elements of beauty is seen with every step someone takes. My crave for beauty and design guides every aspect of my work- be it “creative” work or not.
Political Brain
Products can be tested and even returned. However, this is not the case with public officials. I hope to discover what messages build the trust necessary for a vote. Additionally, I want to help close the gap between “turning social media on” and fulfilling voters’ need states.
Strategic Brain
I am fascinated by people’s behavior and rarely fear conversation topics. “People are people” and one-on-one experiences are the best form of education. The ability to understand people’s needs and desires is the key to fulfilling and ultimately calling them to action.
Resume
There is a new opportunity to merge old and new media platforms together as technology advances. Challenging as it may be, there is a need to discover ways to seamlessly integrate messages into people’s daily lives.
