A RESOURCE FOR PRACTISING ENGINEERS NAVIGATING THEIR CAREERS
This offering will be of interest to engineers from all disciplines (or indeed anyone) navigating their career.
As you know my passion is to help engineers be proud of and enjoy their profession, so that they stay in engineering and feel motivated to engage with people to considering a career in engineering.
We know the engineering profession can be incredibly exciting and rewarding and we also know that progression within any career can at times be challenging. You may get to a certain point in your career and may just feel stuck, that your career has plateaued; or issues can arise which stifle your creativity and productivity. You may want a change in direction, or feel you are being unfairly held back or treated differently to how you feel you should be treated.
If a blockage in your career is allowed to fester, it can spill into frustration and ultimately dis-enchantment, which can cause people to leave the profession, throwing away years invested, and untapped future opportunities. How do you navigate out of these, seemingly, stuck positions?
I am excited to introduce Giovanna Caracciolo, accredited coach, mentor and founder of Evolving Mindscape, who is also a chartered engineer with circa 20 years of experience in industry; to chat with me about navigating engineering careers.
The content is roughly 20 minutes long;
Introduction
Issues – Presenting an Underlying
What can happen if these issues are left un-tackled?
What can happen if these issues are tacked?
Closing – what advice would you give to someone who feels stuck?
A RESOURCE FOR LEADERS/TEAM LEADERS IN CONSTRUCTION
This offering will be of interest to Leaders, Team Leaders (and Team members).
We know the profession can be incredibly exciting and rewarding and we also know that it can be challenging. Issues can arise which stifle the Team’s creativity and productivity or stuck positions taken between JV teams or with the Client/Stakeholders. A Leader may struggle to know how to begin to un-stick these.
I am excited to introduce Roger Martin, co-founder of The Mindset Difference; who has worked with Leaders in the Construction industry since 2015.
The content is roughly;
Intro; Rewarding but challenging careers
Issues – Presenting an Underlying (key influencers, mind-sets)
Self-talk; Right decisions vs right conditions; Silos and conversations needed but not had
Tiredness re change being done to people; Same old solutions
How big things get done and ‘risk dumping’; Psychological safety; Innovation; Mind-set shift
Perception of risk and the biggest mind-set shift of all; Responding to risks
Advice to Leaders
Distinguishing between what is Useful and what is Transformative
**Note** apologies in advance - this is a chat recorded over Zoom and has the usual freezes and audio glitches we have come to accept in virtual meetings.
ENGINEER’S CPD LOGBOOK
Professional Institutions require their Members to demonstrate their Continued Professional Development by submitting an annual CPD record.
This handy-size Logbook, structured to record any Engineering CPD (i.e. suitable for Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Structural, Aeronautical and other Engineers and Technicians) can sit on a desk or in a bag for quick notes in real-time.
This will save the annual angst of the pre-submission trawl through e-mails and calendars and the last-minute ‘which category of CPD is this?’ debates with yourself, whilst trying to file your on-line CPD record before the deadline.
With:-
· Extracts from the Engineering Council’s UK-SPEC for CPD
· Allocated area for your Institution’s Requirements
· Structured, double page to record each CPD Activity
· Record up to 40 separate CPD Activities (more than the common nominal /mandatory 30 hours at the rate of minimum one hour per activity)
Gift this to yourself or to the Engineers in your life – remove a yearly stress for yourself and/or for them!
Please view on Amazon website for more details.
I AM ENGINEER ….SEE ME DRAW
A great gift to yourself or to the proud to be engineers or budding engineers in your life! They’ll love the play on words of a certain song ‘I am Engineer -See Me Draw!’ …we engineers are cheesy like that ;)
This is a - handy for most bags - 6 inch by 9 inch, 100 page sketchbook; alternate blank and squared pages, changing sides half way through (for those who prefer blank or squared to be on the right).
Drawing is integral to an engineer’s profession, be it digital or by hand. Sketching problems help Engineers identify all relevant parameters to that problem. They also test their solution through sketches to demonstrate to themselves that their solution resolves all the parameters to the problem. Finally, they use sketches to communicate their solution in as a concise and complete way as possible so the final drawings for manufacture or construction can be produced.
Or it’s great for doodling, capturing some detail or plain having fun!
