Charles McKinney's Linkedin Analytics

Former Naval Aviator based near Bicester, sharing my skills and experience to enable service leavers and veterans (often over looked and untapped force multipliers in business) in navigating their own success story. I value every interaction as special. I know we all have a story... Where those stories meet is where the magic happens. Let's chat and find out where ours meet. Then, let's work to make the world better. During my career, I have succeeded in building solid relationships and teams, led personnel across government and civilian agencies in fast-paced international environments and improved processes, initiated change and managed transformation. How: ➢ Helping others to succeed through mentorship, coaching and providing opportunities to shine through engaged leadership ➢ Managing / directing programmes and people ➢ 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 vision of success within defined timelines, accounting for external influence and change ➢ Solving problems and developing solutions by leveraging knowledge, skills and experience ➢ Considering the influences of data and trends through analysis ➢ Evaluating and managing risk to define limits driving mitigation ➢ Managing human, fiscal and material resources 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. Aviation core competence drives the attention-to-detail infused in my work. I'm also adamant that legacy effects of actions and applied solutions are always considered and explained to customers. Who am I?.. I'm the person who helps when nobody else will. I step forward. I take a stand. I ask questions and get to problem genesis then work out solutions.
