I tell my 16-year old, "In your career, you have two primary things:
- Your Subject Matter Expertise
- Your Communication Skills"
My Subject Matter Expertise includes:
- Broad Engineering Experience (Site, Drainage, Highway)
- A Focus (compulsion) on Process
- derived from Responsibility for Results (entrepreneurialism & three-person 1st Job)
- Bad Process costs time, money, errors, reputation
- It's not fun
- Bad Process costs time, money, errors, reputation
- wasting time kills me
- derived from Responsibility for Results (entrepreneurialism & three-person 1st Job)
- The Ability to improve processes
- The inclination to extrapolate (addtional audiences, additional opportunities)
- A compulsion to leverage and synergize
- "How does this current effort fit into a greater scheme?"
- "How can we extend the useability of this "one-off" to be a permanent wide benefit?"
My Communication Skills include:
- I'm a pretty good technology evangelist (high energy/enthusiasm), backed by experience.
- Educational Experience beyond the traditional "5-day in-person class" model
- Transformed how Bentley delivers training (now: Modular OnDemand)
- Multiple platform experience for at-scale and scaleable communication
Examples:
- Civil Help > Grading Surfaces for Drainage
- Civil Help > DIY Reality Modeling
- Learn.Bentley.com > Navigating the Interface
- Automating a Typing-intensive Drainage "Workflow"
- JeffMartinPE.com - organized professional present and past
- CivilXLr8.com - the company was a response to a need/opportunity, the site was the medium to communicate it nationally (old technology, though)
- Bentley User Success Onboarding Community; also have an extensive series of Microsoft Teams Teams (internal)
- GoOutLookUp.com - hobby site, started to support STEM Grant programs
- Troop4LaJolla.com - example of a complex, firewalled, multi-user website

Transformation is what drives us.
My understanding of Transformation has transformed.
At Dieter Engineering, I thought transformation was about clicking the mouse faster. That made the work go faster, right?
At Intergraph Corporation, it was about better tools.
Consulting at the City of San Diego, it was about defining and communicating departmental procedures.
As Civil XLr8, it was about transforming how the software was learned and transforming the capabilities of those I consulted with (I'm still big on that).
At Oklahoma DOT, it was helping define and implement the vision of the staff in their migration to the new software AND communicating the process to them.
