3 Tips for Adapting to Uncertainty

March 21, 2022 By EMI

This is a guests blog by Jese H. Vance, P.E.

“If there’s one thing that’s certain in business, it’s uncertainty.”
~ Stephen Covey 

The last two years have been full of uncertainty, and it does not look like that is going to improve any time soon. Times of uncertainty often require us to adapt to a variety of changes and obstacles. I have listed three tips below to help you adapt during these uncertain times.

How to Make Your New Year’s Resolutions Actually Stick

January 11, 2022 By EMI

This is a guests blog by Jese H. Vance, P.E.

Every year, many people do the exact same thing. They decide to take advantage of a fresh start by making 137 (give or take) New Year’s resolutions. After making all these resolutions, they are quickly overwhelmed, and they don’t make it more than a couple of weeks into the New Year before going off course and back to the way things were. Does this sound familiar? I have been guilty of this on multiple occasions. However, I have learned some strategies over the last several years that have helped me hit my goals that I would like to share with you.

Don’t Pile on Too Much at Once

November 2, 2021 By EMI

When Is the Right Time to Make Your Next Big Move?

When is the right time? What if it doesn’t work out? What if I FAIL?

These are all questions that I am sure many of you have asked yourself from time to time when trying to decide to take advantage of an opportunity or stay on your current path. Over the last several years, I have tossed these questions around and recently, I have found some of the answers. Below are a few things to consider when trying to make that big decision.

Are you ready to pursue your purpose over your paycheck?

Four Lessons to Improve Your Career and Business

June 22, 2021 By EMI

This is a guests blog by Jese H. Vance, P.E.

I have worked hard at honing my technical skills so far in my career. I would even say that in the first few years after college, the technical side of engineering was all that I focused on. However, over the last few years, I have found that the intangible lessons that I picked up through experience and mentorship are just as important.

Below are four of the top lessons that I have learned in my first decade of engineering:

Lesson 1: If You Always Tell the Truth, You Don’t Have to Remember What You Said

It is easy to think that a “little white lie” on occasion isn’t a big deal. Who or what is it going to hurt, right? This is an easy trap to fall into when someone’s feelings are at stake; however, one small lie can lead to another and another. Now, there are alternate versions of events that have to be remembered and when the truth actually comes out, the situation will be even worse. There will be many times throughout your career when telling the truth is not easy, but no matter how bad it is, telling the truth from the beginning is the only way to go. Tell the truth, explain the situation, and even if feelings get hurt, it will not be as bad as trying to explain why you lied all along.

Lesson 2: Judgement Is a Skill
