In this episode, we hosted Monte Pedersen from CDA Group, a prominent figure known for his expertise in strategic execution and leadership. With a rich background that includes a successful 30-year career in service management, Monte transitioned to strategy execution to address the commoditization within his industry. He has spent the last eight years focusing on bridging the gap between strategy and execution.

His insights are instrumental in teaching organizations how to effectively move from strategy to execution, as highlighted through the STEP (Strategy to Execution Performance) process he developed with his business partner. Monte advocates for strong leadership and clear communication, emphasizing that successful engineers create measurable value and positively impact their end-users.

Steve delves into the importance of adaptability and flexibility in an engineering career. Drawing inspiration from Mike Tyson's quote about plans and unexpected challenges, Steve discusses how rigidity in thinking can hinder progress. He shares insights on handling criticism and the necessity of pivoting when facing project setbacks or unexpected career developments, such as promotions with new team placements. Emphasizing emotional resilience and proactive risk analysis as key components, Steve encourages engineers to focus on growth and continuous learning to achieve long-term success.

Want to instantly become more visible within your company? Want to improve yourself?

Learn to receive feedback. For engineers, feedback is so hard. Overcome the typical stereotypes, and unlock a great culture within your team and the organization.

If there is a structure for feedback already in place, enhance it and take advantage of it for the benefit for you and everyone else.

This is especially important and has an amplified effect within your peer group.

Enjoy!

In this episode, I cover something that really unlocked my ability to move the needle on my engineering career. It led other discoveries as well, including the need to prioritize, not just work straight through what's in front me.

I invite you to listen and start discovering for yourself the power of this mindset/tactic. It will be tough at first, but then you'll discover how much you were unintentionally leaving on the table and wish you had discovered it earlier.

Enjoy!

In this episode, we discuss how you can accelerate your career and your experience through unreasonably high levels of preparation. Specifically, we talk about the process of creating operating procedures for yourself which drives understanding and lessens stress while at the same time helps you stand out in the minds of the other more experience engineers.

This works at all levels of your career, but has a huge rate of return towards the beginning of a career.

Enjoy!

In this episode, Jake discusses the fact that high performing engineers begin to master their next role before the opportunity arises to take said next role. Doing this while also maintaining a high level of achievement in your current role does not include adding more hours to your work day. It's something completely different.

Enjoy!
