about this presentation
• Not going to be news oriented
• Not going to be internet focused
• I will draw from both, though
• Main point:
enjoy your career & colleagues
just being there is such a big part.show up. be present.
to be the best, there must be (repeated) sacrifice...
...but do something you love. it will show.
invest in brute force learning / lmgtfy.com
learn from your mistakes. then, move on.
it’s hard to see yourself as others
see you, yet...
...be yourself. it’s a lot easier.
about your colleagues & company
learn as much as you can about
the big picture & how everything
comes together.
•
learn how to give your opinion respectfully... then give it.
relationships ARE business.
do s omething differ ent.

rewards are sometimes unexpected.
