Engineering is not just a career; it's a mindset. Adopt the engineering mindset, and you'll find solutions where others see roadblocks. #EngineeringMindset

In everyday life, it’s better to be valued than needed.
Being needed creates dependency in others and obligation for you. You feel worried and guilty about letting them down.
Being valued grants autonomy. Your help is appreciated but not expected on their road to self-reliance.

There is a cost to lead. True leaders are willing to pay the price: sacrifice self-interest and put their Cause ahead of themselves.

Great day one at #SimCongress23 as Simulation Australia, SESA, and ITEA come together to talk life between reality and simulation. Looking forward to making an @incose_org contribution discussing how to make the digital thread work in support of a modern engineering lifecycle.

Leaders don’t have to be perfect
Leaders don’t have to have all the answers
Leaders don’t have to be loud
Leaders don’t have to be stoic
Leaders have to be humble
Leaders have to be intentional
Leaders have to be committed
Leaders have to be confident
Leaders have to care

A key to creating a great team (at work, at home or on the field) is this... put WE before ME.
It’s what happens when your united interest becomes more important than your self-interest.

I think you are a true systems engineer at heart. Thanks for the generosity as you shared your insights and time with @incose_org and the greater systems engineering community. We’ll strive to live up to the challenge and be the humble superheroes we can be.

Just boarded my flight on way home after speaking at the #INCOSEIS 2023: can’t imagine I’ll ever be here again. Loved being an ‘honorary’ Systems Engineer for 5 days and, for creativity top-up, the amazingly-brilliant Honolulu Museum of Art & the v moving USS Arizona Memorial.

3 Thoughts about Leadership:
1. If you model it, your team will live it.
2. You have to share your real self to be your best self. Authenticity is essential.
3. Great leaders are selfless not selfish.

I had the distinct pleasure to keynote the 33rd #INCOSE Symposium in Honolulu today. Thank you @incose_org for inviting me and to all attendees for allowing me to share my thoughts on visualizing complex systems and the power of #data and #AI. It was truly an honor. Mahalo!
