Key Insights to Career Management

This talk is designed to discuss managing your career. There are 12 important things to keep in mind when living and managing your career to achieve your goals. These will be explained and explored with examples and photographs based on my 50 years as an engineer, manager and executive managing people’s careers, and 53 years as an IEEE member (IEEE Life Fellow). Your career is your career and understanding your priorities (which can change) and your company’s objectives can help you have a rewarding and fulfilling career.
