3 Reasons Why You Would Want Sonja on Your Board

1. I have a proven history of contributing at board, advisory council and executive committee levels. I am known in the Queensland business community as an active, action oriented, results deliverer. Which means you and your board will instantly receive value by my positive contribution towards achieving results.
   
   
2. I am a high performing executive female whose career of choice is the Information & Communications Technology industry. Therefore your board will gain value from my "hands on" knowledge and experience and wide network of contacts in the ICT industry.
   
   
3. I approach discussion and issues from an intelligent rational basis, taking wider implications into account. Which means your board will gain benefit from my objective reality-based viewpoint.

As testimonial for my abilities I include the following from a key player in the Queensland ICT industry - John Grant, chair of the CIAB. John wrote this to support an application for the Telstra Awards:

"I have known Sonja for over a year now and the experience has been exhilarating. Sonja and I have worked closely together as members of the Queensland Government's (Department of Communication and Information, Local Government, Planning and Sport) Communication and Information Advisory Board (CIAB) and on three CIAB Working Groups for eBusiness, Industry Development and Electronic Service Delivery.

"Her attributes which I believe are key for consideration for the Awards are:

1. Her energy and willingness to "get involved". These days with the pressures we all have on our time and the demands from our professional and personal lives, it is great to have someone like Sonja around. When she says she's in, you can guarantee she is and she will give it a 110% effort. The effect this has had on me and others she has worked with is motivational.
   
   
2. Her leadership in moving things forward. She is not one to stay too long in one place and as such she draws others along with her. This has been particularly obvious in the working group meetings where we have been dealing with numbers of people and where the agendas need to be driven.
   
   
3. Her eye for detail. It is not often that in one person there are competencies that extend from leadership to detail. Sonja has made her mark in setting the standard for process and documentation within the working groups and within the CIAB. In this environment where it is vital that documentation be complete and reflect the detail of discussions, Sonja's capability has been highly valued.
   
   
4. Her optimistic frame of mind. There are many opportunities for all of us to be overcome at times by the challenges we face in everyday personal and professional life. In this precarious state of mind it is a life-saver to have a true optimist around. One who continually sees the "glass half full" rather than "half empty". Sonja has such a view and again it is energising to those who associate with her."
