Abstract

During my 25+ career in the mining industry, I have had a chance to work in many different areas: academia, industry, gold, copper, critical minerals, operations, technical, functional support, projects, research & development and leadership. Along the way, I've learned - often the hard way - there is more to success than just what I was taught in school. By sharing this light-hearted perspective, I hope to provide people with a little bit of career guidance.
