Reinvent Yourself – My Speech at FAST University Karachi

I was invited as speaker to a seminar at FAST-NUCES Karachi (Official) along with Bob Ferguson (Senior Communications Coach at Xecofy) and Faraz Younus Bandukda, CFA (Co Founder Hilal Invest).

My talk was about: Reinvent Yourself – Unlock your True Potential

Bob Ferguson who is Senior Communication Coach at our company Xecofy delivered a stellar talk on: The challenge of great technical communication

Faraz Younus Bandukda, CFA Co founder Hilal Invest spoke about: How to become successful in life as tech entrepreneur.

Three things I emphasised on in my talk:

1. Your grades and GPA matter only to get you first job. What matters after that are the practical skills and the ability to adapt.

2. Reinventing yourself every few years is the biggest strength you will have. Reinvent yourself by learning new skills. Evolve or become irrelevant and get wiped off.

3. You will fail at something in life. You will be told you are not good enough. Don’t believe in such criticism. Believe in yourself. It doesn’t matter how many times you fall down but what matters is how quickly you get up after falling down.

Later on, the team was given a tour of FAST’s library, Ai R&D lab and the sports facilities. It was good to witness the focus on learning latest technologies as well as sports and fitness.
