Engineer Soft Skills

Do you find that you are hard on yourself?  Do you feel like it is necessary to be hard on yourself?  Do you wish that you could end self-criticism and become much more happy and free?

In this podcast, I discuss how you can begin to notice and work with self-criticism.  I go through the book “On My Own Side” by Aziz Gazipura, a mentor of mine.  You will learn the key lessons that Aziz teaches in his brilliant book in order to become less self-critical and more self-loving.

Do you wish that you were more positive?  Do you wish that you felt more positive energy throughout your life?

In this podcast, I dive into some ways that you can uncover habits of negative thinking.  Then, I discuss how you can recondition your mind to have a bias toward positive thinking.

In this podcast, I speak with Myke Macapinlac.  Myke began his career as a structural design engineer.  He decided that he wanted to improve upon his dating life and social life, and dove into learning social confidence.

Myke now teaches STEM professionals how to create meaningful connections.

In the interview, Myke shares a variety of brilliant insights into how you can develop social confidence as an engineer.

When it comes to becoming a better engineer, we often think that we need to become smarter and learn more technical information to improve.  And while there’s some truth to this, there is much more to the picture.  

In fact, one way that we can enhance our abilities as an engineer is to enhance our energy.  Imagine if you had the capacity of a ferrari, but only got the performance of a camry.  No offense to the camry, but that’s not very efficient.  This podcast is about how we can get better results by increasing our efficiency and tapping into the ferrari like capacity that we have, but aren’t necessarily utilizing.

This episode is all about the fundamentals.  These are the simple, yet not easy, habits of health that you can begin implementing to develop higher energy, better focus, stronger productivity, and greater happiness.  They are the key actions you can take to sleep, eat, and move in more effective ways to become a better you!

On this episode of the Engineer Soft Skills podcast, I am joined by Sol Rosenbaum of The Engineering Mentor.  Sol has worked for 18+ years in energy engineering and has earned a variety of certifications, including the PE and CEM.

We discuss Sol’s engineering background, his views on how one can develop as an engineer, his favorite books and resources, his top tips on productivity and job hunting, and a ton of other things.
