Episteme IT/InfoSec Career Portfolio Teleseminar & Podcast Series
Mike Murray recently made an announcement on his blog.
During the remainder of November and December he will be hosting a series of "teleseminars" which will be released afterwards as podcasts. These podcasts will include some interesting individuals and I'm sure they'll prove to be very useful to those interested in or currently developing a career in Information Technology / Information Security.
Over on the announcement there's a mailing list that you can subscribe to in order to receive additional information on the upcoming series. I've already added my name to the list, and you'll find me listening to all the seminars.
The Roster for these Seminars is as follows:
Linda Ferguson of NLP Canada Training on Integrated Thinking for IT Professionals Linda and I are going to talk about the key social, emotional and thinking skills that make a successful IT career. We'll explore the different types of intelligence: social intelligence, emotional intelligence, and those thinking skills that can make you a successful individual contributor and manager. We'll explore the most fundamental question: What resources do you need in order to have a wildly successful information technology career?
Scott Blake of Echelon One on Being a CISO Scott is responsible for managing and executing Echelon One’s CISO roundtables - beyond being a former CISO, he works with CISOs as part of his day to day job. Scott and I are going to talk about what CISOs are all about - what they expect, what they need, and equally important - how you become one.
Tim Keanini of nCircle on Managing Creativity, Technical Skill and your Network As CTO of nCircle, one of his biggest tasks is to bring together groups of really smart people and discuss, create and learn about new technology. Anyone who knows TK is amazed at his ability to bring together technical skill, creativity and synthetic thought, and an uncanny ability to bring together a network of really smart people. We're going to explore TK's mind and get some nuggets of brilliance from him.
Lee Kushner of LJ Kushner & Associates on Getting Hired, Getting Promoted and Building A Career. As president of LJ Kushner & Associates, Lee is a wealth of knowledge about what information security careers look like these days. We're going to talk about the skills, traits and experience that make a successful career in information security. Lee has brilliant advice about what can make you a more successful internet security professional today.
The Career Coaches Panel - We will bring together three life and career skills coaches including Ron from The Geek Coach and Dan from FRACAT to discuss the trends that they're seeing in IT careers these days, and the useful social intelligence and career skills that really matter in IT today.
I'm also willing to bet that Mike will be present to add his thoughts and insight.
While we're discussing the Episteme blog, there was an interesting post earlier on how job interviews are a sham.
That's all for now... Just wanted to share the information.
Peace,
HT

Thanks for the mention, Tyler… I’ll definitely be there, though who knows how much I’ll be adding. Mostly, I’m going to interview these great people, and bask in their brilliance.
