I tell my 16-year old, "In your career, you have two primary things:

  • Your Subject Matter Expertise
  • Your Communication Skills"

 

My Subject Matter Expertise includes:

  • Broad Engineering Experience (Site, Drainage, Highway)
  • A Focus (compulsion) on Process
    • derived from Responsibility for Results (entrepreneurialism & three-person 1st Job)
      • Bad Process costs time, money, errors, reputation
        • It's not fun
    • wasting time kills me
  • The Ability to improve processes
  • The inclination to extrapolate (addtional audiences, additional opportunities)
  • A compulsion to leverage and synergize
    • "How does this current effort fit into a greater scheme?"
    • "How can we extend the useability of this "one-off" to be a permanent wide benefit?"

My Communication Skills include:

  • I'm a pretty good technology evangelist (high energy/enthusiasm), backed by experience.
  • Educational Experience beyond the traditional "5-day in-person class" model
    • Transformed how Bentley delivers training (now: Modular OnDemand)
  • Multiple platform experience for at-scale and scaleable communication
