In the vast cosmos, Earth spun quietly. A vibrant blue dot among countless stars.
Dead ...
Over billions of years humanity faded into forgotten history. As the galaxy turned, an ancient alien civilisation known as the Varkaans embarked on a journey through space, driven by curiosity about intelligent life. Their advanced starship glided through darkness until it encountered Earth, which pulsed with remnants of long-extinguished life.
Intrigued, they landed to uncover astonishing relics: crumbling skyscrapers that once soared; faded books filled with philosophy and science; art expressing profound human emotions.
The Varkaans were captivated by this vanished civilisation.
They pieced together Earth's history. And found extraordinary ingenuity: machines harnessing solar and wind energy; computers processing vast information; stories exploring love and conflict in myriad languages.
Yet a profound realisation dawned upon them:
The humans had emerged too early for connection with other intelligent species.
Do YOU feel like that sometimes? Like no one understands what you're trying to say or to achieve?
You might be one of the first ones. But do you know how to continue on your path?
Read on ...
Though questions remained: why did humanity disappear? What caused this extinction?
The legacy left behind was one of inspiration: a testament to human creativity and resilience, echoing across time as a beacon for those who dared to dream beyond their own horizons.
A Legacy that YOU can use.
And I hear this story very often.
A Varkaan gets out there exploring and enters a new Company with the title of Systems Engineer. And what he finds is …. Earth !
Same questions arise:
What happened?
Why is their way of working in ruins. Or even processes not existing at all?
From the once mighty promise of Systems Engineering there's not much left here.
And this Varkaan came here to learn. A quick realisation looms dark that his hopes of improvement in his profession won’t be fulfilled.
Yes - you guessed! This Varkaan is YOU …
And I know you need support. But don’t despair because learning from those who been there and done it before can be done!
Earth still has some of its Elders in deep freeze who know the proper ways. They just need some of your Energy to wake them and work together.
And that’s not all!
Now Look outside. You’ll find the tinders of many other stars out there who are at the level this Company once was. Reach out to them. They can guide and help you rebuild Systems Engineering in your Company while also collaborating with the Elders you found.
They improve drive by your energy AND you learn while accumulating real world experience.
It's a win-win!
How do you do this? Where are these Elders?
Join professional organisations in your discipline. If you are (or want to be) a Systems Engineer that is INCOSE. Reach out and engage with other members.
Ask questions. Ask for tips and guidance. Ask for Mentorship.
Do you have an immediate GOAL? Want to make an impact now? Get some coaching. This can be a powerful tool when you have an experienced professional supporting you!
Yes, you may need to pay for their expertise. You pay for the decades spent honing their skills so you can achieve your goal within months.
And that's a no-brainer when you make that back in one jump of your salary. Plus, you get to keep your new skills for life!
Ask for it internally or ask outside. Those who advance fast are not doing it alone! They are all coached. I know because I was there.
This also applies when you want to find another job in company better positioned.
And especially when you want to pivot into Systems Engineering. You want to talk with those who did it before!
