9. Tips for
23 year old me.
(and you too!)

11. What is success
to you?

15. ?

16. Work tips. Life tips.

17. Work tips.

18. Work tip. #1
Don’t pick a job. Pick a boss.
Your first boss is the biggest factor in your
career success. A boss who doesn’t trust you
won’t give you opportunities to grow.
- William Raduchel

19. Work tip. #2
Patience, discipline and dedication are
required. The road to “senior” lies within
quality, not quantity. Time is the only way to
gain the necessary experience. Like many
things in life, there are no shortcuts.
● Build a firm foundation: knowledge &
standards
● Invest in your tools

20. “'Life is a journey, not a
destination”.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

22. Work tip. #3
Understand who and why!
Technology is a tool, it serves the business,
understand the business and the big picture.
● Who is it for? Who wants it?
● Why do they want it? Why is this the best
option?

23. Work tip. #4
Know, communicate & reset expectations!
● Ask questions! Make sure you really
understand everything.
● Understand what the client and your
supervisor care about.
● There will be language and culture barriers.
● Over communicate.

24. Work tip. #5
Feel free to complain!
Yet you must remember:
● Complain and come with a solution.
● Complain directly to the person who can
solve it.

25. Life tips.

26. Life tip. #1
Find your passion. Learn what you want to do in
life.
Do it.
● Money is likely not your passion, it’s a tool to
your goal not your goal.

27. . My university...

28. “Choose a job you love, and
you will never have to work a
day in your life.”
Confucius

29. “Do something you love. If you are
doing something you are passionate
about, you are just naturally going to
succeed, and a lot of other things will
happen that you don’t need to worry”.
CEO of General Motors, Mary Barra

30. Life tip. #2
Don’t fear failure.
● Growth requires you go outside of your
comfort zone.
● If it's easy, it's not growing you. If it's hard
you are.
● The harder it is, the higher the chance for
growth and failure! Get comfortable with it if
you want to reach higher.

31. . Total fail...

32. Whether you think you can or can't, you're right.
Life tip. #3

33. “Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your (character),
Your values become your destiny.”
Gandhi

34. . Daily reflection...

35. Talk face to face.
● Email or chat is great but it’s not always
clear.
● You need to build relationships.
Life tip. #4

36. . Clear communication...

37. The grass isn’t greener on the other side, it’s
greener where you water it.
● We often don’t appreciate what we have, and
take it for granted.
● We fail to see and create opportunities.
Life tip. #5

38. . Job jumping...

39. Give generously to the team.
● Praise each other.

Life tip. #6

Life tip. #7

42. "There is no such thing as a
'self-made' man. We are
made up of thousands of
others.”
George Matthew Adams

43. What success
is to me.

44. . Reaching goals & dreams together...

45. ..Making the world a better place...

46. .Your Dreams.
It's not about how to achieve your dreams, it's
about how to lead your life. If you lead your life
the right way, the dreams will come to you.
Seize every moment because "time is all you
have...and you may find one day that you have
less than you think".
