  • Ep. 42 – Who you are is how you lead with Morgan O'Brien
    In this episode of Engineer Your Success, our special guest, Morgan O'Brien sheds light on the topic of alignment with who you are as a leader. She discusses how important it is to have boundaries and communication in order to be respected.
     
    Here’s a bit about Morgan’s passion:
    Morgan is a people-focused engineer currently working as a Senior Engineer Project Manager for the CA Department of Water Resources, on major flood risk reduction projects around the Sacramento Area. She is very interested in leadership and strives to lead from wherever she is within an organization. This has resulted in taking on a few extra roles, including Leadership Development Coordinator for the Floodplain Managers Association Emerging Professionals Committee, as well as being the Professional Advisor to the UC Davis Society of Women Engineers section. Morgan is an avid backpacker, who enjoys reading, as well as restoring her 1925 home. Morgan believes that there is always an opportunity to learn and be better, and often quotes Brene Brown. She LOVES to dive into topics that are hard to talk about because that's where she finds the most growth.

    Tweetable Quotes:
    “Having that sense of curiosity is a key trait for people that are growing, that are learning. For leaders and effective communicators, having that curiosity helps you make that connection.” – Dr. James Bryant
    “Management is important, but there's a place for being able to lead from wherever you sit, whether it's formal authority or not, and making sure that you have the skills to be organized and [that] everyone has what they need, but also inspire them to move in the same direction.” – Morgan O'Brien
    “Curiosity is the key to openness and being able to admit that you do not know everything can be a way to invite people in to actually contribute and help move the team in the direction that it needs to go.” – Dr. James Bryant
    “[We] need to advocate [setting boundaries] for ourselves. We're the only ones who are going to know our boundaries, so we can actually be the only ones that can set them… Once we're aware of that in ourselves and knowing what it feels like when someone crosses a boundary, then we can more effectively set them.” Morgan O'Brien

    “The way that I define ‘best’ is lots of energy, lots of happiness, joy, more enjoyment of what you, do more energy from what you do, being excited to go to work every day, you know, doing what you love, finding things that you enjoy, and performing with excellence.” – Brea Roper
    “I believe that you're a person first. And if you can really tap into the unique greatness that lies within you, then you can apply that to everything that comes through.” – Brea Roper
    “Sometimes, society points us into jobs or professions or things they put us in a box. And sometimes that box is not going to work for you… You have to understand how you're wired so that you can operate to your fullest capacity.” – Dr. James Bryant

  • Ep. 39 - Let's See our Problems as Opportunities in this Space with Josh Muller

    Welcome again to another episode of Engineer Your Success! Today, our special guest who will add value to our week as Engineers. Josh is currently a coach for construction and contractor companies and it is his passion to get more people involved in this space.

     

    Here’s a bit about Josh’s passion:


    Most owners of construction and other contractor companies are frustrated because they feel like they’re always working—never enjoying!
