Meet Anthony Fasano, PE, AEC PM, F. ASCE
(EMI’s Founder)
Like many engineers, I had a goal of becoming a high-level executive in my engineering organization. When observing the leaders in my company, it was obvious that they possessed skills in addition to their technical skills, namely great people management or ‘soft’ skills. So, I set out to develop my ‘soft skills,’ a move that not only rapidly advanced my career, but led to me becoming an internal coach and trainer for my company, and ultimately inspired me to leave my engineering career behind to spend more time helping engineers become more effective managers and leaders.
When I first decided to try to help engineers develop their management skills on a broad scale, people told me I wouldn’t succeed. They said engineers aren’t interested in developing these skills and they certainly wouldn’t listen to podcasts or watch videos on the subject. Well, three million downloads later and a Forbes citation has proven them wrong.
Engineers with sound people and project management skills can accomplish anything, for themselves and their firms, and our mission is to make sure that sustainable engineering management learning opportunities are available to every organization and engineer who needs them.
Let us help you succeed.
