There is a charge experienced when we lift others to rise to achieve. There is a balance between enabling and empowering. When we teach others how to do things, the way they light up and the excitement they have when they have been guided with the right information so they can perform is exhilarating. I understand the passion that some professors and tutors feel when a student has an epiphany.  As a student, I remember those moments and I remember the pride and smiles I received from those who helped me understand so I could rise. A valuable lesson that I have learned through my educators, is the joy that can be found by leading others with questions so they can think for themselves. By empowering them with the tools they need to keep on climbing.

Computerized networks and systems have been a natural fascination. This instinctive curiosity was born when I taught myself DOS so the computer would play sheet music to hear how the composition should sound when I was playing it. Since then, I have remained intoxicated with machine learning and analyzing methods for automation.

To me, technology is a symphony that is more than a solo performance. Even though solos can touch our souls, inspiration can be enhanced through an orchestra of various talents and skills that produce audience masterpieces in a harmonious manner.

Choosing my diversified capabilities as a resource for your endeavors will assist with pulling your team’s strategic practice into the direction you seek for a best-in-class product that strives for a standing ovation performance.

How you hire great professionals can make or break your organization. A good employee can do wonders for your company, bring you to new levels, and be a source of sustained growth.

A bad employee? Well, that's a whole different story.

The U.S. Department of Labor estimates the average cost of a bad hiring decision can equal 30% of the individual's first-year potential earnings.

Many companies are forgoing traditional hiring methods in order to avoid this. Tech companies like Google are relying more on emotional intelligence, as opposed to where the person went to school or what grades they received.

The reason is simple: Emotional intelligence, a term first brought to the masses by Daniel Goleman, involves self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skill. When someone has these qualities, they have the ability to work well with others and are effective in leading change.

However, when someone is just "book smart," they may not necessarily have emotional intelligence and therefore have a harder time learning from their mistakes. They've typically always achieved career wins-they don't know any other way. According to Laszlo Bock, Google's head of people operations, these types of workers attribute failures to other people or events, instead of having self-awareness and the motivation to better themselves.

This is not to say you should discount a candidate with a high IQ. On the contrary, the ideal worker would have a highly analytical brain, while still carrying the attributes of an emotionally intelligent person.

Let's look at some reasons why hiring emotionally intelligent people would benefit your organization, as well as where to find them:

You want people on your team who have enough gusto to solve issues, not only before they become larger than life, but also by looking at alternative perspectives.

When faced with a problem, highly emotionally intelligent people want to solve it as soon as possible. They don't dwell on the actual issue or the outcome that has occurred. Plus, according to Travis Bradberry, president of TalentSmart, emotionally intelligent people are most effective when they are solving problems, as opposed to merely sitting on them.

Joe Bohling, senior vice president and chief human resource officer at Aflac Inc., believes it's important to hire people who can pick specific examples that show the ability to stay cool during stressful situations. This can translate into how an employee may deal with a problem, either through actual solutions or by lingering over them.

Interestingly, 90% of top performers are skilled at managing their emotions in pressurized situations in order remain calm and in control. They also stay positive and disconnect to keep things in check.

Stress is a normal part of your job, whether you're in finance or human resources. However, as long as it isn't prolonged, it's harmless and can actually be good for you. In fact, research from the University of California, Berkeley, found that the onset of stress entices the brain into growing new cells responsible for improved memory. However, this effect is only seen when stress is intermittent.

How employees manage their emotions can make a big a difference in the end. Highly emotionally intelligent people are self-aware and understand when they need to take a step back if things are getting a bit heavy. Those who aren't emotionally intelligent may blow up and create conflict. This all plays into how they go through tasks, solve issues, and create success.

You've probably heard of "yes people." While they seem sunny on paper, "yes people" almost never survive and can actually harm the future of your organization. In fact, research conducted at the University of California in San Francisco shows that, the more difficulty you have saying no, the more likely you are to experience stress, burnout, and even depression. Emotionally intelligent people won't say yes unless they really want to, which can contribute to the level of engagement they have with a task, as well as the overall outcome.

Google is a great example of a company that just says no to "yes people." Bock notes that the most successful people have a fierce position, argue like hell, and are zealots about their point of view. This is not to say they are egotistical, though. Bock asserts that, when these employees are presented with a new fact or valid argument to prove a stance, they will accommodate the correct viewpoint. In the end, they understand when to say no, both in terms of a commitment and in terms of their ego.

So, where do you find emotionally intelligent people? Some organizations use behavioral assessments, others look at big data. While these are all great recruitment tactics, emotionally intelligent workers can be found at home. That is, from your own employees.

It's no secret that referrals are the best way to source and retain quality workers. However, when you look at referrals from an emotionally intelligent perspective, your employees can be a rich source of social capital to introduce to your organization.

Employees understand who will work and who won't. At the same time, they're watching their own backs and rarely recommend anyone who can't do the job. In addition to hard skills, when you stress the importance of emotionally intelligent attributes-such as willingness to learn, relationship management, and social awareness-your employees will scour their networks to find the right fit. Not only are they able to bring you highly skilled workers, but also they'll be able to present you with those who have the potential to perform well under an array of situations, as well as with a variety of workers.

By understanding the true value of an emotionally intelligent employee, you'll begin to see the connection between the types of people you hire and the success that comes from it.

There are interesting things to learn when we step outside of our little boxes to experience something new. My time with DES began as an internship where I learned how complex the printing and imaging business can be. Professional printing involves more than pushing a printer button. The internship was extended several times to:

Assess and analyze the end-user product requirements

Commission production operations’ input so the design process accommodated their roles

Study the product flow process to familiarize ourselves with how the design process can be modified and streamlined | Review and research the EFI DirectSmile application development procedures

Independently and collaboratively determine the best route for process integration to meet milestone requirements

Maximize my HTML, CSS, and JavaScript lessons for web interface product deployment

Interpret stakeholder needs using the business analysis skills I learned in college

Learned and applied Adobe InDesign for product development

To paraphrase a statement from a movie, “It is said that some people go to college and lose themselves while others go and find themselves.” The name of the movie isn’t remembered otherwise credit would be given where credit is due. However, it was profound enough that I realized that college was where I found myself. My college journey was more than getting the certificate and grade. It was the beginning of my transformation that is nowhere near complete. My next academic milestone will be a Computer Science Bachelor degree.

🎓 Cultivated information gathering through unobtrusive methods with competence.
🎓 Evaluated and documented the scope of projects.
🎓 Generated requirements documentation using existing documents.
🎓 Assessed organization needs and use case scenarios, modified and created diagrams. (e.g. PERT, onion, entity relationships)
🎓 Studied Agile modeling and prototyping tools like NinjaMock and Visio.
🎓 Created and examined data flow diagrams.
🎓 Developed process specifications and structured decisions.
🎓 Expanded my Systems Analysis professional experience with efficacy.

College was the opportunity to learn how to learn. Learning is a cycle that I believe is iterative.

How can we know what we do not know if we do not seize the opportunity to learn something new? College credit is a number and it has weighted value and that effort is complimented with my willingness to invest in furthering my growth.

This page is where I experiment with existing platforms and code. It's now used to educate myself and experiment with implementation and integration.

A professor once asked, "why re-create the wheel if the wheel has already been made?" In the workforce, we will have to work with what exists and it's up to us to see if we can integrate improvements with project initiatives.
