Creating Your Encore Career 161: My Love/Hate Relationship with Technology
I’ve always been fascinated by technology. I’ve also always been fascinated by working with people.
As a classic Industrial Engineer, my whole career revolved around exploring how people and systems (aka, technology) come together to make things happen.
Early in my career, I learned several different programming languages. I was an early adopter of the PC. Later on, when I didn’t see the use case for something or was forced to learn some technology, I wasn’t as eager about it. My company installed a business and operations software called SAP towards the end of my career and I wasn’t a fan of it.
Now that I’m creating my Encore Career, it’s all up to me. I don’t have anyone to “handle” the tech for me. I’m an entrepreneur and I’ve got to learn it on my own.
In this episode, I dive into this further and discuss my love/hate relationship with technology.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Some of the struggles I’ve had with technology.
- How I’ve started to “get my arms around” all the tech out there.
- Broad categories of technology you may need in your Encore Career.
- The importance of having a network around you.
- How to prevent yourself from getting overwhelmed about technology.
