Good day. I am writing to express my interest in registering to become a Freelancer. I am confident that my 42.5 years of professional experience, decision-making, leadership, and management skills would be an asset. I am a motivated and progress-focused person with a long-standing Professional Standards background with a track record of initiative and dependability. I have devised strategic initiatives that I believe could prove valuable. My penultimate posting was as a Lieutenant Colonel in Professional Standards in the Durban City / Metropolitan Police Service.. I developed and implemented various operational procedures and policies, gaining extensive knowledge in strategic planning, project management, and training development. This provides me with valuable insights into creating, maintaining effective programs and procedures, critical to the success of any organization. Three ways my experience in Professional Standards has prepared me are: 1. Developing innovative and effective policies and strategies that enhance organizational efficiency and effectiveness in all aspects of operations. 2. Managing complex and challenging projects through developing, executing, and managing complex projects. 3. Cultivating and directing high-performance teams in successfully developing and managing high-performing teams with diverse talent, background, and knowledge while ensuring optimal productivity The ability to lead, make sound decisions, manage projects to successful completion, and have confidence, experience, and practical skills are of great value. Yours sincerely, Kenneth Verwey (Lt. Colonel - Retired)
