Head of a manager.
The heart of a craftsman.
Even if you are sure that you were born to be a facility manager, you are neither born nor automatically trained as a facility manager. In my day-to-day work, I benefit considerably from my training in the trades, in emergency medicine and the international stations in my training. And from my CV as a career changer and lateral thinker, which you can see in my CV.
