Dieter Degryse’s Post

25 Years. Company loyalty. Does it matter? It is a consequence. Not a goal. It happens. imho. When your Desire (your Why (@simonsinek), your Grit, your deep intent,..). Matches your Performance. And the Opportunities that present themselves. It all Connects. And then, it lasts. Longer. Forever or Not. The community, ‘the tribe’, fulfills the sense of belonging (could be ‘Yellow Blood’ - Caterpillar people understand ;) ). Your bigger Purpose is the compass. The storytelling helps to connect. And transcends one self. (Check: the power of Meaning - Emily Esfahani Smith ). I am a Builder. (My vocational training as ‘Polytechnicien’ - Civil Engineer // from www.rma.ac.be). I have been and am building: Buildings. Teams. New Things. A bit of the Future, i think. And I am with a Company. Whose Solutions. Help its Customers. Build a Better. More Sustainable World. Me. Leaving a small Trail. I hope. Oh . It is not about what you want. Remember. ‘You can’t always get what you want. But sometimes. You get. What you need.’ (Remember the Rolling Stones.. if you are old enough). And on a day like this. Thank you Chris M. Arvin ( https://lnkd.in/eerfYjHm) for more inspiration! #caterpillar#iamcaterpillar#knowyourwhy#simonsinek#thepowerofmeaning #emilyesfahanismith
