This is my November update of my goals this year!
1) Personal Development Goals
For my personal development goals, I want to challenge myself to do new things and continue to grow!
a)?(BEHIND:?9,765?minutes)?Exercise for 12,000 minutes on Peloton
I worked out using the Peloton app for 775 minutes in October across 38 classes! With the weather cooling down, I'm starting to run more too! I need to catch up to my goal.
You can follow me on Peloton: @stephenlu
b)?(COMPLETE: 12 out of 12)?Do 12 new things for the first time
Unfortunately, we had to put our dog down this month. It was a very emotional 3 days with our dog in the ER, recovering, and taking her home to spend her last days with us. Going through a loss like this is something new to me.
Previous new things: 4-week Peloton core program, first Warriors game at Chase Center, going through the home buying process, closing on our new house, painted the inside of the house, building a variety of furniture for the new house, used a circular saw, took an Amtrak train, gambled in Vegas, submitted marriage license application, went ziplining and taook a sunset boat cruise on my honeymoon.
c)?(BEHIND: 7 out of 12)?12 solo speaking opportunities
I had 2 speaking opportunities in October, both to student organizations. First, I presented to the University of North Texas ASME organization about my Lockheed Martin career. Also, I present about LinkedIn to the San Jose State University SASE organization!
1) To the Eli Lilly Engineering group about my career journey to high school students.
2) Mint Ambition Summit hosted by Liz St. Jean about?how to find opportunities on LinkedIn!
3) In-person speaking event at SJSU's Classes Without Quizzes about LinkedIn and how to use it to get opportunities
4) NOVAWorks, hosted by Sharadon Smith about How to Get Opportunities Through Creating Content!
5) San Jose State's Student Alumni Connection about LinkedIn: It's More than a Resume!
