GET GOOD AT LEARNING NEW THINGS
“I’m not sure of the answer,
but I know I can figure it out.”
IT’S ALWAYS ABOUT THE PEOPLE
• Professional Organizations
• Mapping Groups
• Former Classmates
• Professors
• Colleagues
FOCUS ON SMALL WINS
“How do I convince
clients/officials the benefits
of GIS at the workplace or
for a project?
