Engineer Your Own Success

Engineer Your Own Success: 7 Key Elements to Creating an Extraordinary Career

August 23, 2022 By EMI

Your Own Success - 7 Key Elements To Creating an ExtraordinarY Career

First of all, let me say that you must take your career into your own hands. Too many professionals wait for their employers to give them a raise or promotion. Don’t wait for anyone. Follow these seven steps and you will be able to engineer your own success:

“Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

The information in this article pertains to engineers and other STEM professionals, but can be useful to anyone classifying themselves as “a professional.” I believe that if these seven steps are followed by a professional, they will be successful. By successful, I mean, they will achieve all their professional goals. This article was originally posted on LinkedIn here. 

 

1: Set Clear Goals

Most engineers don’t set goals, and even if they do, they are not clear and aligned with their values. You must take the time as early as possible in your career to consider your values and set clear goals. Strive to understand WHY these goals are important. For example, if you say your long-term goal is to be a principal in an engineering firm, you better know WHY — and the answer shouldn’t be “to make a lot of money.” You need to have a deep reason for wanting something, or else you won’t sustain the motivation to pursue it.

2: Obtain the Right Credentials

In this session of The Engineering Career Coach Podcast, I give you the one key that you must know in order to controlling your destiny in your life.

“Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for it.” – Pablilius Syrus

In our Take Action Today segment at the end of the show, I will give you a tip to help you increase the value that you provide to others.

This episode was inspired by one of the coaching sessions that I had with an engineer who told me that his ultimate goal is to control his destiny.

The key to controlling your own destiny is one word: VALUE.

You must know how much value you can provide to people and try to answer these questions:  [Read more…] about TECC 42: The Engineering Career Coach Podcast – The Key to Controlling Your Destiny in Your Life and Engineering Career

5 Things I Learned About Learning in 2014

December 30, 2014 By EMI

12-30-14 Post Photo

My ultimate goal with Engineering Management Institute website, podcast and other resources is to inspire as many engineers as possible to create extraordinary careers and lives. In order for engineers to create the careers and lives they desire, they will most likely need to learn new things. Based on many one-on-one coaching sessions, seminars (above photo is from IECD Austin Meetup in April), blog posts and podcast episodes that I have prepared and given this past year, I have learned a lot about how people learn.

Since I believe the key to improving yourself is learning, here are the top 5 things I learned about learning in 2014 in hopes you can utilize this information to create positive change for you and those around you in 2015. [Read more…] about 5 Things I Learned About Learning in 2014
