Inspired by Witty

On Wednesday Dave Witty the Vice President of VIU came into our class to talk about this career and where his journey took him through his life. This chat was inspirational, he was had some amazing opportunities in life and sent us home with a lot of life lesson, which of course are worth sharing. Here are some inspiring quotes behind his success:

“No matter how small the project, it is as important as any project we have”

“integrity of process, trust of process, respect of process”

“SITE VISITS! – know your context”

“listen to cultural nuances”

“you need to spend time to get to know communities and build relationships”

“you can overthink your future, if you do good work life will treat you well”

“if you’re going after something go full blown or not at all”

If these quotes weren’t enough of a take away from the talk, I also left with about 20 pictures of Dave’s work from his thesis to current projects. This is an inspiring man. I strive to inspire people one day, the way he inspired me.
