How to stick the landing! - Thriving in new places

Why does it take most people 6 to 12 months before they feel fully onboarded (i.e. 'settled') in a new place or job? Wouldn't it be great to start thriving on day 1? In other words: "stick the landing".

During a long journey, starting at only 17 years old when joining the army, I've learned many (hard) lessons which often resulted in situations with little comfort and little confidence. There and then I learned the greatest skill of all: 'getting back up'. Only now I do realize that this long 'search for identity and purpose' set me up perfectly with the right skills, mindset, and experience to thrive in the actual world.

As a quality consultant in tech, working typically with a client for only 1 or 2 years, I don't have the time to get 'adjusted' or 'settle in'. And I don't need to. Anymore...

Join me as I share personal (war) stories about 'the army', 'the road to software development', 'leading cultural change towards a quality mindset', and many more. Share in these lessons with me and take home with you the ability to thrive!
