Celebrate 2024 by sharing your success in 2025
Realize LIVE speaker program – countdown to close
As we draw to the end of the calendar year it is a good opportunity to reflect on our personal success and professional achievements. It is easy to get swept up in setting new targets, focusing on the next objective without taking the time to see how far we have come. A bit like the ‘Choose your own adventure books’ some of us enjoyed growing up: will you a/ carry on into 2025 confident you are doing a great job or b/ reflect and share before embarking on 2025?
If you chose a: carry on into 2025 confident you are doing a great job skip to paragraph ‘Delivered success and ready for 2025?’

Inspiration through real-life examples
There’s nothing more inspiring than a real-life success story, and in fact even a failure story can be quite enlightening. At Realize LIVE in 2024 across two events more than 400 customers shared their experiences, and not every one of them followed a straight path to success. When we gathered feedback after the event it was often the more difficult paths, where not every decision was the right one or every outcome as expected, that the audiences most engaged with. Sharing your story might be the catalyst that propels someone else to take that leap of faith, a student to see a different approach or ignite a spark of inspiration in a fellow engineer.
Building connections and networking
Sharing your professional success stories can also enhance your network, opening doors to new relationships and opportunities. Your story may resonate with others in your industry, it might inspire a new engineer, it might lead to meaningful connections that could become mentors, collaborators, or lifelong friends. And you will only know when you share it. Here are some tips on how to structure your success story jump.
Not sure where to begin?
Identify your key challenge
Be specific about the problem you faced, the challenge you needed to solve and the obstacles you encountered. Put the challenge into context, this will help the audience in applying your solutions to their own challenges.
Be authentic and honest
Authenticity is crucial when sharing your story, the audience appreciates your honest experiences, including the obstacles you’ve faced and how you overcame them. People are moved by genuine stories that reflect real struggles and successes.
Highlight the lessons learned
Your story should also focus on the lessons you’ve learned along the way. What insights can you offer to others? How did your experiences shape your perspective and approach to your career?
