STOP learning how to CONFIGURE

ADVISES DEAN BUSHMILLER
CISSP & Leader ofwww.ExpandingSecurity.com and www.crispytopics.com

Stop learning how to configure something and start learning how to apply it to business problems. Then you get to sit at the big kids table.

Becoming VALUABLE to the BUSINESS is not about being good at just 'configuring' something.

She based her thoughts on a photograph she selected from a catalogue of visual images, just as many Wagner applicants are asked to do.

The image she selected was that of a person bringing a pot to life on a pottery wheel, as it reminded her of an introduction to pottery class she took last fall.

"I showed up every Monday night from 6-9, much the way you showed up for a class," she told the graduates. "And it was very hard. It was the worst in the class, a fact clear to me and to everyone else. Yet I stayed and kept on trying. I knew there was learning in the trying, in sticking with what didn't come easily. I never actually cracked the code or became a potter. Yet at the end, I have these small little pieces of ‘pottery' in my house and the odd thing is, I display them...and they make me smile when I walk in. They remind me to take myself seriously, but not too seriously, to stretch even in the face of initial resistance, mine or others, to find pleasure in small wins."

She referred to the image on a large screen on the BAM stage.
