How do you create results being limited in your scope of influence.

💡 Great 2min time investment to start your week - or actually at any point in time, but soon 😉 : https://lnkd.in/env_WPjb Simon Sinek reminds you to focus on your direct scope of influence, because this is where you can influence - directly. But you well can influence things outside of your direct scope, by having influenced people take it forward to their scope of influence. Listen to the original, much better than my own summary.

Just in time for Santa, great book about about the role of an Solution Architect(SA) in the future. GenAI is evolving many roles - SA role is not an exception. Very interesting read, which a lot of input from various, quite influential, folks around the AWS SA role. Highly recommended. Kudos to Nahia Orduña and Slavik Dimitrovich to compile all of this input and create a unique book of this!

Time is moving fast. Already 5 years though it feels like I just started. Still Day 1. At Amazon Web Services (AWS) I found an awesome place to work with my customers and develop myself. While interviewing candidates, I often get asked what is the outstanding reason for me to stay at AWS. My honest answer is always: “Working within a team of rockstars”. The people and mindset make the real difference for me. Part of the culture is valuing tenure and providing feedback to each other. Reading through the kudos board created for me by some of the awesome folks I work with, made my day. Today I also collected my shiny orange badge. 

Today is re:Purpose day, a great organisational initiative in Tanuja Randery’s organization. Many different activities by different team members. Beside toeing the swimming pool for a first time since a long pandemic break, I also spent some quality coding time in a cafe. While I have flexibility every day, the re:Purpose day really help me to actually get better in using it. And yes, we are hiring. Just ping me or Nahia Orduña :). #coding #hereataws #team #repurpose #passion
