Management Science & Innovation’s Post

Top 3 lessons for my students: take it slow (breathe), respect your time, and ask for help.

The 3 lessons Heinz share here almost perfectly map to my own life and career. Sharing so that younger devs might benefit from this hard-earned knowledge, instead of taking the hits and giving the sacrifices to learn it themselves. :)

Everything comes to an end at some point. Today was the last day of work in andagon It has been an amazing time where I learned a lot, met talented people, and was part of a successful IT company in Germany. I'm grateful to my colleagues for the pleasant teamwork, and with a smile on my face, I continue my career path in another growing company. A new chapter in my book begins.🎉🎊

Something that always makes me smile is whenever I see a post about someone leaving a role, or a work anniversary or promotion, when they post on LI a few of their favorite photos of their team or time at the company, RecFest, if they’ve been, usually features in one of those photos. 😀 Always obvious to spot; green grass, blue sky, the lanyard and smiles all around. And I love that people choose something we’ve built as one of their favorite memories. It’s always a boost to me and team, so, as we’re in deep deep planning mode right now, for the 10 year anniversary of RecFest, post your favorite RecFest photo in the comments. Not as part of a give away or competition, but to give the TREC team a boost today to keep doing what they’re doing, to build more happy memories for the industry. 😃🎪😀🎪 I’ll go first.

Celebrating the completion of my first 30-day at Causeway today and what a ride it’s been so far! 🤝 I was lucky to meet the entire Mkg team face to face on Day-1 💻 Followed by multiple other Product and GTM intros 🎯 Built Q4 OKRs and baked those into my 30-60-90 roadmap. ✍ Jumped right into delivering some new copy blocks we urgently needed ⚙ Started reviewing processes needing improvement. 🎓 Started a long, but exciting and rewarding journey of learning everything about the Causeway story, our value to customers, our products and our positive impact on the industry. At my 1-month review, I was asked what I liked so far about the role and if it met my initial expectations. I really enjoy the opportunity to interact with so many functions across the business and to be involved in a wide variety of work streams. I feel like my input is valued and interactions are based on trust and respect.  My big tickets are also interesting projects that don’t come across often in a career, another reason to feel motivated and excited about what’s coming next. This is not just me honeymooning my way around your Linkedin feed 😅 The idea is that if you have some time today, take a moment to pause and reflect on what makes you happy at work, what drives you to show up positive or willing to make a difference, and what little wins you can celebrate when looking back into the rear mirror, however small or big they might be. Some gentle introspection might just be what’s needed to connect back to the essential of (professional) happiness. And a good way to end the week too. Happy Friday!

🚀 Excited to share some big news with you all! 🚀 I'm thrilled to announce that I've hopped on board Cisco's Americas Distribution Team as the D&H Distribution Account Manager! This opportunity is a culmination of everything I've learned and everything I've worked for. All my years of experience at Cisco, Partners, and Distribution have come full circle. I’ve always been passionate about the value of Distribution and the impact has always resonated deeply with me. Reflecting on my recent LR experience, here's what I've learned: *Rolling with the Punches* Learning not to take things too personally has been a game-changer. Feeling all the feels and then bouncing back stronger - that's where the magic happens! *Taking Me Time*Taking a breather has been the change I needed. Whether it was the beach or a good book, this downtime has been a gift (even if it took me a minute to realize it). *Being Me, Authentically* Your vibe attracts your tribe, right? I've learned that being true to myself is everything. What you put out there is what you get back, and it's been an eye-opener. *Lean on Your Crew* Your people have got your back, period. Whether it's asking for help or just getting a boost, tapping into my network has been a lifesaver. *Networking, Naturally* Being genuinely curious and making connections has opened up so many doors. You never know who you'll meet or what opportunities will come your way. Make friends! *Zhuzh up your LinkedIn* Out with the old, in with the new. If you're not one to self-brag, step out of that comfort zone and consider, "What do I want people to take away about my brand, work ethic, leadership style, etc.?" Be yourself, be authentic. What you project outwardly reflects what you attract in return. Huge shoutout to everyone who's been there for me, whether it's a recommendation you’ve written, a chat, text messages, taken me to a game to get me out of the house, resume reviews, links to job postings, supportive thoughts etc... You know who you are, and I'm so grateful for you! To my new family at D&H (old friends and new), I can’t wait to see you, meet you, support you, and work with you. #BFG #BuiltForGrowth Michael Perez thanks for believing in me, and taking a chance on me. I'm truly grateful for the opportunity! Here's to new adventures and growth! 🌟 #NewBeginnings

💻🐆 Team Tuesday 🐆💻 Fini Chau, Q-PAC's IT Support Tech. The Phish Patrol. Mr. Malware Beware. The man who asks if you've "Turned it off and turned it back on?" 💡 1) You've jumped from Control Panels to IT. What inspired you to be the change? 💻 ⚡ When I first got to Q-PAC, I was on the path to starting my Bachelor's in IT. 📚 So I asked for a station closest to computers, which led me to the Control Panel station. I was planning on staying a Control Panel Lead for a long time and possibly moving up in the company with something electrical and putting IT to the side. Then Thomas, who is my current IT Manager, gave me an opportunity to start with him as a technician 👨🏽💻 and I decided to make the switch. I'm forever thankful for that. It feels nice to finally get hands-on experience. Q-PAC's ability to help you grow as an individual is endless. I encourage others to really find out what they want to do in life and use the tools that Q-PAC provides to help them get there. 🚀 2) You're a Jags fan and headed to the game against the Bills in London! What would be your dream sporting event to attend? 🐆 🏈 Being the ignorant Jacksonville Jaguars fan I am, I would like to attend the Jaguars vs. whoever(it doesn't matter, we're going to win) Super Bowl in 2024 at the Allegiant Stadium. It's a brand-new facility, and how could you not want to be in Vegas? 🎰 🏟 Plan your work and work your plan. Fini's growth at Q-PAC is the dream story of making opportunities count. He has taken IT to new heights, and we are incredibly thankful for everything he does for us! (The picture is Fini back in his Control Panel days!) #TeamTuesday #hiregreatpeople #growthmindset #IT #teamwork #team #workfamily
