Jake Kennington is our guest for this episode of The Impactful Engineer. Do you have someone you look up to or have admiration for, or that you aspire to be?

They just seem to have what you want, or are doing things you want to do, and seem to do it despite some the reasons you give for not being able to (ouch, but stay with me). Why is that? What makes them able to do so?

Jake breaks it down and helps you see how you aren't that far from doing the things that allow you to achieve some great things.

Jake has a weekly newsletter and you can schedule free calls from his website.

Enjoy!

In this episode, we hosted Monte Pedersen from CDA Group, a prominent figure known for his expertise in strategic execution and leadership. With a rich background that includes a successful 30-year career in service management, Monte transitioned to strategy execution to address the commoditization within his industry. He has spent the last eight years focusing on bridging the gap between strategy and execution.

His insights are instrumental in teaching organizations how to effectively move from strategy to execution, as highlighted through the STEP (Strategy to Execution Performance) process he developed with his business partner. Monte advocates for strong leadership and clear communication, emphasizing that successful engineers create measurable value and positively impact their end-users.
