Key Insights to Career Management & Building and Leading a Volunteer Organization

Key Insights to Career ManagementThis 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 48 years as an engineer, manager and executive managing people's careers, and 51 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.Building and Leading a Volunteer OrganizationPeople working for a company feel obligated to do what their manager asks them to do, since they are being paid by the company. However, it is different for a volunteer organization, such as the IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES). It is challenging to convince volunteers to do the things you want them to do. First, you must effectively engage with them. Second, you must have a strong value proposition for them. This talk will show you how to build and lead a group of volunteers, based on my 51 years of IEEE membership with many leadership positions on the local, national and international levels.
