The Impactful Engineer - Mentorship, Career Growth, and Personal & Professional Excellence for Aspiring Engineers

You ever wonder what you can do to increase your awareness and impact regarding diversity and inclusion efforts in the engineering industry? 

Stephanie tells us that solving the world's biggest challenges requires a diverse group from all walks of life to think outside the box and develop cohesive teams that support each other. 

Do you know some the most important facets of creating such a team?

Do you know why it is important that the majority be advocates for women, people of color, or any other underrepresented group? 

Did you know that the mindset and skills development required to become an advocate are the same skills that will help you excel in your career?

We touch on those and more in our discussion with Stephanie Yum.

Listen closely and be brave enough to take some action.

Let's dive in!

Human drive is all based on emotion. In our engineering careers, where we choose to tie our emotions to certain results can either boost our career or hinder it. 

And to be clear, by boost we mean fulfillment + happiness AND promotions + advancement. 

Pride in your work is a strong and useful emotion.

In this episode, we consider where to apply pride in your work, and give you our take on where the pitfalls lie.

Stay with us to the end to find out where we have seen the most impact come about in our careers based solely on where we tie our emotions. 

This one is all about pride.

Every project has three main ingredients. Scope, schedule, and budget. There are fairly standard processes used to manage all three for a successful project.

In this episode, we discuss some of the conventional thinking that can go into the HOW of a successful project, focused around schedule, and why some of those ways of thinking are actually traps. 

We discuss our opinion on how to improve the process and avoid traps we have seen in our careers.

Easily one of the biggest breakthroughs Steve and I have made in our careers centers around Ego. Knowing what it is, how it affects your life and work, and when it's appropriate to lean into will provide you with another mindset tool (and skill really) which can be sharpened. 

We talk about how ego gets in our way, how it is an invaluable skill, and everything in between.
