Alrighty folks, welcome back to Season 3, Episode 20 of Transacting Value Podcast!
Angela Thurman is many things. She is down-to-earth member of Mensa International from Arkansas and the principal managing director of Thurman Company. She has a degree in electrical engineering, has worked in the aerospace and telecommunications industries, and today she owns a product management consulting firm. Her career path has taken her from electrical engineer for the NASA Glenn Research Center, to the Space System Program, and into the commercial aerospace realm.
Her career path hasn’t been entirely rosy. At one point, she was laid off, and during 18 months of being jobless, she found direction in Elizabeth Allen’s course, The Economy of One. She found the course so enlightening that she took it twice. The results were profound. Angela identified her core skills (an engineer and a professional project manager with a background in contract law), learned to properly value them, and promptly landed a job that intersected those three core competencies.
Angelas heartily recommends the Economy of One course. Tips for identifying your core strengths:
- Take a mental inventory of when you are happiest at work
- Ask, in a perfect world, what you do with your time.
- Keep your core strengths in sight and remind yourself of them daily to combat imposter syndrome
Angela and Porter also explore the following:
- gratitude
- mission statements, corporate values, and codes of ethics
- modern manufacturing
Quotes from today’s episode
“If you’re approaching life from a position of gratitude, your outlook is so much different, and life is so much better.”
“Depression is not as much of an issue for me when I have an attitude of gratitude.”
“You can go through life being a sourpuss, or you can take the other road. I’ve done both in my life, and the road of gratitude is so much smoother.”
“When I’m grateful, it allows me to be gracious to others.”
