Over the past weeks, I had the chance to lead a team in subdividing 10,000 plots of land into 12 villages. When my boss approached me about the task, I took a deep breath, considered the challenge, and confidently accepted. Although unfamiliar with this type of project and its technicalities, I was determined to excel. My boss entrusted me with the job of mapping out the subdivisions on paper, assigning beacon numbers, and extracting coordinates for our software. Despite the manual extraction process taking two nights, I embraced the learning curve, discovering efficiency tricks along the way. Following my boss's specifications, we procured the necessary beacons and transported them to the site two days prior to commencing the staking-out process. On Monday, our office staff assembled, and we embarked on the journey to the site. Upon arrival, I established reference points and conducted orientation, promptly triggering the transmission signal. While I staked out the points, others transported and buried the beacons with the assistance of hired bikers. After a long day's work, we retreated to a nearby hotel, where we encountered challenges finding affordable and sufficient food. Despite the hardships, we managed to recharge our equipment and prepare for the next day. As a leader, I prioritized maintaining harmony among the team, resolving any disputes that arose sometimes it will be very inconveniencing that you may loose something just for peace to reign. We encountered terrain obstacles that necessitated trekking, yet we remained steadfast in our commitment to completing the job. Throughout the project, I encountered setbacks, such as communication issues between the base and rover. Despite spending hours troubleshooting, I persisted until I discovered a solution, learning valuable lessons in problem-solving and adaptability. Overall, the experience taught me invaluable skills on site organization, negotiation, overcoming challenges, and fostering teamwork to achieve our objectives. I am grateful to Surv Olojede O. Ayobami for the opportunity to lead this project under his guidance. #surveyor #Mapping #engineering #determination #accuracy

It doesn’t matter where you start from. I’ve been a concrete laborer, secretary, park ranger and most recently a software engineer. It took me 12 years to get here. Some will do this in a fraction of the time and for some it may take longer. The one trait that I see at every job that determines if someone stays where they are or if they stretch themselves to the next big thing is the ability to be uncomfortable. There’s no moral obligation to keep growing. But if you decide too, realize that all the sucky jobs and pain is your greatest strength. Most don’t want to bare it for a day, but if you can stay with it everyday for years, now you’re building something. #softwareengineering #gis #mindset #business #growth

**Licenses to Occupy: A Home Mover’s Lifeline in the UK** Moving homes is a monumental task. The process becomes even more intricate when you have a mountain of belongings or animals that need special attention. For many in the UK, the challenge isn’t just about packing boxes or hiring a moving van; it’s about the timing and transition between leaving one home and entering another. This is where a ‘license to occupy’ can be a game-changer. https://lnkd.in/ebq3m2Wv

Last week I had the opportunity to spend the day with some of the Land Consents team, looking at how we shape our future. A snapshot of some of the questions we asked ourselves: What is our utopia i.e. our vision? Using SWOT what is holding us back from achieving our vision? What are the objectives that will help us achieve our vision? How do we achieve our objectives… what’s the plan? What are our methods for evaluating the objectives and the plan? In asking these questions we were able to develop a coherent and achievable way forward. After days like this you can’t help but leave the room motivated and excited for what’s next. #Savills #LandConsents #Infrastructure #Utilities #Strategy #StrategicPlanning #Change #Leadership #Growth
