I’ve provided a few ways to get to know me without picking up the phone (which is still preferred). But second to a conversation, please enjoy a few results of my personality tests (Myers Briggs, StrengthFinders, Enneagram, and a few quotes from a 360 review while at Marriott International)
FEEDBACK FROM LEADERSHIP & PEERS FROM A 2014 ZENGER|FOLKMAN 360 REVIEW
“Jake is exceptionally competent and I would welcome his leadership and skills in most all groups, specifically his ability to energize others, lead with the innovative spirit, communication is exceptional and he develops others along the way.”
