2024 has been a year of change, but I've taken every challenge head-on. Here are a few things I'm most proud of: 🔹 New Role: Moved into a new position where I get to dig into policies, standards and data to build security reporting for Comcast. It’s been a great way to apply my skills in a more hands-on way, and I’m learning a ton about how to make our data work for us. 🔹 School Milestones: By the end of the year, I’ll have wrapped up five classes for my Computer Science degree, including Intro to CS I/II, Discrete Math, Web Development, and Data Structures. Each course has challenged me, but I’m excited by how much my skills have grown this year! 🔹 What’s Next: I’m excited to explore software projects and residency programs at work. Can’t wait to dive into new challenges and see where I go next! Grateful for the journey and everyone I've had a chance to work with. Here’s to finishing the year strong! 🚀

This week wasn't quite what I expected it to be, but I've learned so much. I am running a stall for my wine company (www.paradewa.co.uk) at the school summer fair tomorrow, and have set up all the infrastructure to be able to click items to purchase, and then accept payments using NFC technology (contactless). Really understanding the #userjourney was invaluable, and I had something as stake here. It's not dissimilar to the training session I ran last week on Early Problem Recognition. My 8 years in restructuring and my time at Greensill were me going on that user journey. And now I can talk about it, and teach it, credibly and with a unique and lived perspective. Email me on divya.eapen@riskstrategyconsulting.com if you want to hear more about our Early Problem Recognition training and how we can help you build resilient businesses. And yes, it's a pretty raw video -- I still have a Iong way to go on my editing skills! #alwayslearning #livedexperience

Congratulations to all graduates, and… I am glad to share that I graduated with honors from William James College, earning a Masters, Organizational Psychology with a specialization in Organizational Development and Change. This complements the Graduate Certificate in Executive Coaching (GCEC) in Leadership Psychology earned here in 2022. These new learnings, disciplines, and adaptive leadership skills have shaped my journey and allow me to bring forward a new dimension in my life’s work. It was this powerful potential and the school’s reputation and commitment to experiential learning that led me to William James College in 2021 to build this new dimension. A few highlights from this journey include: - Inducted in Psi Chi Honor Society, 4.0 GPA - Developed a set of adaptive leadership skills, use-of-self, for organizational diagnostics, design, intervention, transformation and change management to build character, work with people, teams, and organizations in a more powerful way. - Expanded an invaluable network of people, including students, seasoned professionals, advisors, and company founders within the coaching, consulting, business development and high technology space. As a leader, learner, continuing my education and growth journey and earning this second master's degree (RPI 1996) has been a personal goal and commitment. My advice for those on their own learning journey is one day, one assignment at a time. Finally, thank you to my family, friends, instructors, cohort(s), and network who inspired me, stretched me, and expanded my thinking. Especially want to thank Dr. Darlene M. Piva, MA, PsyD, Lynne D. Richer, EdD, GPHR, Dr. Miranda Lane, LPsyD, LCMHC, Ara Haroutiounian and Suzanne Boulos at William James College. You have walked along side with me, and for that I am grateful. Now, I am prepared, and energized for what’s next, and new beginnings with learning, new experiences, and more to give. #WilliamJamesCollege #organizationalpsychologist #newbeginnings #trusttheprocess #culturechange #transformation #leadership #allyship #coaching #consulting #mindset

GDG Central Florida is excited to be featuring Dylan C.

In this talk, we’ll explore the key steps, skills, and behaviors that differentiate high-performing senior engineers from those ready to step into staff-level roles. We’ll break down the journey into actionable phases: expanding scope and impact, developing cross-functional influence, mastering strategic thinking, and balancing individual contribution with mentorship.
