Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

29. EXPLORATION SUMMARY – WESTERN GAWLER
29
Successful first phase of exploration
Broad spaced drilling complete
Mafic/Ultramafic intrusions identified
Coincident magnetic and gravity anomalies
identified such as Pearl, Citadel, Moonstone,
Calamari
Planned exploration (next six months)
Currently completing gravity and ground EM
surveys at Pearl and Citadel
Finalise targeting with AC/RC drilling to commence
in June quarter FY17
Confirm lithology with focus on base metals and
gold
Community – Proactive engagement to support
activities
Broad scale prospectivity for Ni/Cu and Gold
31. GEO-POLITICAL FORCES, BUT STRONG DEMAND
31
Indonesia relaxes the laterite ore export ban implemented in 2014
This is not a reversal of the ban and exports allowed under certain
circumstances;
Exporter must show plans and demonstrate progress to constructing
in-country processing facilities
Only impacts ore <1.7% nickel
Exporters must prove 30% of low grade is processed in-country
Rules on majority ownership transfer over 10 years
Only around 8.0 Mt of <1.7% nickel laterite approved to be exported -
immaterial!
Philippines reviewing nickel mine closures and suspensions
Mining and Resources Secretary Lopez announces closures and suspensions
that could impact 50% of domestic laterite nickel exports (2 February 2017)
Strong opposition from mining groups - Lopez not supported by Senate (2
May 2017) and replaced by Roy Cimatu
Strong comments by Duterte and Cimatu regarding taxation of miners and
continuation of environmental review (July 2017)
33. NI GROWTH FROM THE EV BATTERY SECTOR
33
Nickel is a key ingredient in lithium-ion batteries (~50kg per car)
EV battery manufacture could drive +10-40% of incremental nickel demand by 2025 –
UBS, July 2017
~15m EV production in 2025 would mean an additional ~300- 900ktpa of incremental
nickel demand – UBS, July 2017
EV’s create a new source of Nickel Demand (ktpa)
