On Thursday, June 17th, AITP Atlanta presented a special educational program by Heart of a Champion (http://www.hoctraining.com/). The topic, Perseverance and the Information Technology Professional, focused on helping today's information technology professionals who are asked to do more with less and perform at unprecedented levels, develop skills that enable them to maintain a purpose during adversity. The presenter, Jason Delaporte, engaged the audience right from the start and kept them interested with amusing yet thought provoking analogies to drive home the skill of perseverance. Several keys points mentioned in the seminar revolved around an individual’s sphere of influence and their ability to change actions. Generally speaking, if you can control it, then do so. If not, ask yourself – is it in my control of influence? If it is not in your ability to influence an action or decision, can you or could you anticipate it? If the answer is no, then you should let it go and work on other tasks that you can influence. Working each obstacle or task by running through these questions and trying to determine a resolution will help you to build the skill of perseverance. |
