Fragments

It matters to me not to be a secretary who just passes messages from one person to another. I want to understand what's going on, why we're doing it and whether it could be done better.

I truly believe two or three heads are more productive than one. So if I have an idea, I'll fight for it.

I can argue for quite a long time. Not because I absolutely have to win, but because it matters to me to be heard.

I'm not very good at walking past things that are "sort of not my responsibility" if I can see they'll turn into a problem later.

If somewhere there's an unpaid invoice, a forgotten contract or a person who has been waiting for an answer for three days, chances are that sooner or later I'll find it.

Sometimes I feel awkward reminding people about money. But I feel even more awkward towards the person who did the work and is sitting there waiting.

I try to keep a balance between the interests of the client, the studio and the specialist. Sometimes those are three completely different interests, and that's when things get really interesting.

It's hard for me to pretend everything is fine when I can see that something isn't.

I'm not very good at lying, really. If I have to explain nicely something that never actually happened, at some point I simply run out of words.

Sometimes I tidy things up so thoroughly that I find a few more problems nobody knew existed before the clean-up began.

I often say "I can't do that". But somehow, a little while later, I'm already sitting there doing it.

I think one of the most honest things about me is that I care.

I can argue with someone about work and ten minutes later worry whether they're all right.

For me, respect only works both ways. A person's job title changes nothing here.

I'm fine with people disagreeing with me. I'm much less fine with my opinion not even being considered.

"We'll figure it out" seems to have gradually become my philosophy of life. Because in the end, we really do figure it out.
