About Eva

Loud. Opinionated. Never afraid to speak her mind.

If you feel like your life is dull and your endeavours are not going anywhere, you definitely need an Eva in your life.

Eva will not stay still even when you stuff her inside a bottle. She needs constant stimuli and new challenges every day. Eva works best on short-term projects or long-term projects that have periodically varying subtasks. If you are looking for someone to do the same routine job from day to day, an Eva is not for you.

Same goes for sticking to the norm and following orders without questioning the motives. Eva will push you forward by making you think about what you actually want to achieve and why. She will not be afraid of opposing you when she does not agree with you. Her goal is not to block you from doing what you want to do. Quite the opposite. She will support you by starting a discussion, if necessary, to see whether there is a better course of action.

Eva is extremely resilient. She is like a roly-poly toy – push her down and she will get back up again, wipe the dust off her clothes, and carry on with a new lesson learned. Some call it “being in the zone“, some call it “flow“, Eva calls it pure stubbornness. Once Eva has her mind set to something, she is capable of spending hours on making it work, forgetting all about basic necessities, such as food, liquid consumption, or toilet breaks.

Eva is great at:

CliftonStrengths test

Based on the CliftonStrengths test, Eva is a terrific **conversationalist and presenter. She can turn telling about a seemingly mundane event into a fascinating hour-long show with theatrics and drama. When she talks, she paints a picture with her words to ensure that you remember her story. The downside is that she can easily go on for hours and use up her daily word limit on telling you about her breakfast.

She finds pleasure in starting conversations with strangers. She is rarely at a loss of words and winning over new people is like a challenge for her. However, once the connection is made, she moves on to new people.

Eva is passionate about learning. The content is less important to her than the journey from complete ignorance to mind-boggling competence. She thrives in dynamic work environments where she is expected to learn a lot about a subject matter in a short period of time and then move on to the next project.

Eva collects things, be it information, thoughts, or tangible objects. She files them away for possible future synthesis. She finds almost everything interesting, so she owns a vast library of items and experiences. Thanks to that, she is easily capable of finding connections between seemingly disparate phenomena. She enjoys taking the world we all know and turning it around so it can be seen from a strange but enlightening angle.
