I saw this one at DEVOXX UK, and while there is a lot of peoplewarish presentations around lately (arguably not getting to the people they should influence very often :-)), this one is at the better side of spectrum. At least for me... it was even touching.
People often forget what influence they can have. Some people don't even aspire for that (which may be OK), others are not good enough but are high enough to drive others away from the teams or companies. Most of us have some influence after a couple of years in business, especially to our junior colleagues. And we should be considerate, careful, yet dountless and inspiring... pfu! Not an easy one. But knowing it is this way is a good start.

There are several kinds of career opportunities through which we are looking for good and positive development. But in most of the cases we have found that people are always suffering from low career profile just because of choosing wrong career choice. So it is quite essential to learn some crucial facts from experts in terms of developing career.
