"A man with a conviction is a hard man to change. Tell him you disagree and he turns away. Show him facts or figures and he questions your sources. Appeal to logic and he fails to see your point. We are familiar with the variety of ingenious defenses with which people protect their convictions, managing to keep them unscathed through the most devastating attacks. "...Suppose an individual believes something with his whole heart; suppose futher that he has a commitment to this belief and he has taken irrevocable actions because of it; finally, suppose that he is presented with evidence, unequivocal and undeniable evidence, that his belief is wrong: what will happen? The individual will frequently emerge, not only unshaken, but even more convinced of the truth of his beliefs than ever before. Indeed, he may even show a new fervor for convincing and converting other people to his view." -- Leon Festinger, When Prophecy Fails (1956) I create and suggest possible solutions and ideas. I'll speak my mind, and share what I think because that is what gets results. I will work with you to implement strategies and build on your own ideas. I might not always agree with you, but I will always provide what I believe is the best solution, or multiple solutions to any given problems. It will always be tailored to suit your needs, and you're under no obligation to accept the solution, but neither are you obligated to accept my services. I will research and learn anything and everything that I need to know in order to accomplish a goal. If there is anything I don't know, I'll tell you, and if I'm interested in learning it, I will spend my free time doing what's necessary to fill that knowledge gap. For the time being I'll be focusing on pro bono work to build up my portfolio in exchange for experience and permission to add all work done to my portfolio.
