Integrated Infrastructure | E2 Remastered | David Harding on Pink Elephants and how opportunity springs from stressful times.

This is the second in our Leaders and Mentors Series of Integrated Infrastructure. This week I spoke to David Harding, NSW & ACT Business Leader @ ARUP. David is full of energy and has more than the odd pearl of wisdom to offer up and coming leaders and technical experts in the current market.   We covered quite a bit of ground in a relatively short period of time so hopefully something for everyone. This week we talked about: - Our own experiences of previous economic shocks and how we directed our careers. - The need to get to a safe place, then look for opportunity and how opportunity often springs from times of stress. - How David used a professional career coach to hep him make key decisions about his future. - The need to communicate, to reach out and build new networks.  - Pink Elephants and why the David is excited about the acceleration of change.  - Why David is willing to bet offices will be outward looking and collaborative spaces in the future. - And Davids strategy to thrive in your career through  COVID-19. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akTuJnNrpUI&feature=youtu.be Integrated infrastructure is powered by North Search, specialists in executive and technical search across engineering, design, construction, property and energy markets in Australia.
