Bio
J.J. El-Far
Working in the arts and culture sector, very often leaders of organizations are terrific artists and figureheads, but few have management ability or know how to lead a team. If you're lucky, you get to work for someone like Salette. Not only does Salette have a keen sense of how to work with many different kinds of people, rigorous attention to detail, and brilliant ideas, but she also empowers and inspires those who work with her to meet her at her level. She has great people skills who knows how to delegate and motivate others. I have personally benefitted from Salette's leadership style, which has given me confidence as an administrator and leader in the sector through a combination of gradually increased responsibility, one-on-one training and mentorship, and long-term career planning.

Salette is that rare mix of enthusiast and strategist. Not only does she dedicate herself with heart to her work but she also has the smarts to be focused and clear. She always understands where she can make an impact. I have worked with Salette in various roles over a twenty year professional relationship and can recommend her for any job where insight, intelligence and energy are required.
