11:04:00 From Troy MacFarlane to Everyone : Hello from sunny Ontario.
11:04:14 From Christopher Eagle to Everyone : Hi from cloudy michigan
11:04:29 From Louis King (Yale University) to Everyone : Hi from partly cloudy CT.
11:04:42 From Dana Miller to Everyone : Cloudy OH
11:05:35 From Rob Yosowitz (ASU) to Everyone : Hello from sunny Arizona.
11:06:21 From Jacob A. Morris to Everyone : Hello from *checks weather* the Pacific Northwest
11:22:57 From Troy MacFarlane to Everyone : Exposure to different workplace situations that I may not have lived -- good and bad.
11:23:18 From Mary Stevens to Everyone : Identifying skills to grow and how to identify opportunities to grow them at my organization
11:23:19 From Dana Miller to Everyone : Developing strategy and corresponding technology roadmaps using business architecture methods
11:23:34 From Michael Davis to Everyone : As someone still new in an architect role, what it encompasses and how to transition to it from a hands-on technical role.
11:25:07 From Mona Zarei Guerra to Everyone : finding opportunities to see the EA concepts applied to real world practices.(since my institution doesn't have any established EA practice.)
11:27:35 From Piet Niederhausen to Everyone : In part it’s a chance to learn how similar work is approached at other institutions. It’s not easy to find the kind of work we do in articles/publications, particularly the real-life people and organizations aspect of it.
11:29:07 From Troy MacFarlane to Everyone : I recently did a career pivot from Federal Government to University, so similar to the last speaker's point, EA within a Higher Learning setting can have its own nuances to address as a specific industry sector.  Perhaps the feedback from other mentors to speak about career change and moving between institutions -- help create new EA programs and parachuting into existing EA programs and processes.
11:29:25 From Phani - U of MN to Everyone : For junior or midlevel developers to achieve career goals, career paths to choose and how to work towards those.
11:29:26 From Betsy Draper to Everyone : Pivot within your position
11:29:57 From Christopher Eagle to Everyone : i'm getting that, too, JIm
11:30:04 From Stelios Bourmpoulias to Everyone : As a PhD Student, I wish find a peer which could help me discover the main trends and current EA challenges in the sector of HE
11:30:19 From Jacob A. Morris to Everyone : Pivots and career journey maps - very much related
11:30:46 From Daniel Lopes to Everyone : From an IT background I usually struggle to grasp concepts from EA Business Architecture (such as value streams, course of action, measure)
11:30:47 From Lonnie Smetana (UManitoba) to Everyone : Piot within position is something I am being asked to plan for at the moment so definitely would be interested in the career pivot topic.
11:31:07 From Ashish Pandit to Everyone : Thinking strategically vs tactical , advance to leadership role , and learning from challenges at other institutes
11:32:37 From Ladan Heit to Everyone : One of my initial challenges in this role was clearly defining what EA is to our Institution - what is the landscape and what are the needs; how can these needs be addressed through proper application of EA concepts and practices.  It took a while to make progress and actually reach some outcomes.
11:34:12 From Alberto Mendoza to Everyone : sorry folks, but I have to jump.... looking forward to more on this front, and thanks to however is taking the notes.  Thanks!
11:45:57 From Piet Niederhausen to Everyone : One more reason to do mentoring: working on architecture at the enterprise level can at times be quite discouraging, and motivation and confidence can be hard to find. A mentor can help remind us that it’s a long road, there will be ups and downs, and why to stick with it.
11:51:17 From Mahmoud Youssef (GWU) to Everyone : sorry, I have to drop off for another meeting. thank you
