Charles McKinney's Linkedin Analytics

I’m a naval service veteran settled in the Bicester area of England, where I am sharing my experience and skills adding value and helping others better our world. I'm the person who helps when nobody else will. I step forward. I take a stand. I ask questions during that awkward silence. I value every interaction as special. I know we all have a story... And, where those stories meet is where the magic happens. Let's chat and find out where our stories meet. During my career, I have succeeded in building solid relationships and teams. I've led personnel across government and civilian agencies in fast-paced international environments. Along the way, I've improved processes, initiated change and managed transformation. I have accomplished this by: - Helping others to succeed through mentorship, coaching and providing opportunities to shine through engaged leadership - Managing/directing programmes and the people carrying project loads - Developing and nurturing stakeholder relationships - Developing programme and people knowledge first, collaborating to eliminate waste and increase efficiency while tracking toward goals - Conducting comprehensive planning to chart and track vision of success within defined timelines, while accounting for external influence and changes - Solving problems / developing solutions by leveraging education, experience and subject matter expertise while considering given parameters - Considering the influences of data and trends through their analysis -Evaluating and managing risk using business rules to define limits and published methodologies, driving mitigation or appetite for a higher magnitude of risk acceptance - Managing resources including human, fiscal and material using analysis of key performance indicators, benefits, loss of efficiency and results I view detailed planning and relationship building as key enablers to success. This worked well while serving over 8 years within the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) as a strategic and operational planner, international communicator, coordinator, consultant and negotiator. I listen and mediate. My aviation core competence drives the attention-to-detail I infuse in work processes; verified in results. I'm also adamant the legacy effects of actions and applied solutions are always considered and explained to customers.
