Coloring books for OT (Operational Technology)??? Apparently, this is what I do with my time when sick. Like any of my posts, as long as one person... Child or adult... Finds some value... It was worth it! I have no clue as to what made me do this. P.S. I do think some of these pages came out pretty well! P.S.S. Check out the 'I' for 'Internet' page.

DoD published its Title 32 Code of Federal Regulations Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program proposed rule in the Federal Register today, initiating a 60-day public comment period. CMMC is a key component of the Department’s expansive defense industrial base (DIB) cybersecurity improvement effort aimed at simplifying and streamlining the process to help businesses improve their cybersecurity. The program is designed to ensure that defense contractors and subcontractors are compliant with existing information protection requirements described in NIST SP 800-171/-172 for controlled unclassified information (CUI) and federal contract information (FCI). NIST SP 800-171/-172 provides guidance on how to protect sensitive unclassified information at a level commensurate with the risk from cybersecurity threats, including advanced persistent threats (APTs).

An often overlooked aspect of mentoring are the abilities of the mentee. Being a good mentee, though, is essential for effective mentorship. These 12 competencies are required. In their book, The Situational Mentor (2005), Clutterback and Lane distinguish 11 pairs of competencies that mentees need to fully enjoy the benefits of mentoring. I’ve added the first to complete the list. They consist of three groups.: RELATIONSHIP INITIATION COMPETENCIES Search - Recognize Search: seek for a specific mentor that fits your needs and aspirations Recognize: be open and recognize a mentor that comes on your path Focus - Proactivity  Focus: have clarity on what you want to achieve from the mentorship and the mentor Proactivity: willing to take initiative and make the mentoring relationship work Respect - Self-Respect Respect: take the mentor seriously and value their contributions and who they are Self-Respect: develop a healthy level of self-esteem—not insecure, not over-confident Listening - Articulating Listening: willing and able to truly listen to what the mentor says Articulating: able to express one’s situation so that the mentor understands how to help RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT COMPETENCIES Learn - Teach Learn: commit to learning and changing one’s habits, ideas, and assumptions Teach: willing to share one’s knowledge and satisfy the mentor’s need to learn Challenge - Be Challenged Challenge: don’t treat the mentor as an oracle and don’t simply accept everything they say  Be Challenged: willing to feel uncomfortable and answer confrontational questions Open - Questioning Open: honest with yourself and share real situations, feelings and concerns Questioning: able to ask targeted and relevant questions so the mentor knows what you need Prepare - Reflect Prepare: spend quiet time to reflect on what to achieve during the next mentoring session Reflect: spend quiet time after the session to reflect on what you have learned RELATIONSHIP ENHANCEMENT COMPETENCIES Acknowledge Debt - Pay Forward Acknowledge Debt: gratitude for what the mentor has brought you and a willingness to reciprocate Pay Forward: once ready, help others as well by becoming a mentor yourself Process Awareness - Process Management Process Awareness: understand how the mentor works and tries to help you Process Management: take ownership of the process and manage it actively yourselfl Extrinsic Feedback - Intrinsic Feedback Extrinsic Feedback: able to receive and give feedback from and to the mentor Intrinsic Feedback: able to listen, observe and give feedback to yourself Independence - Interdependence Independence: able to act and make decisions autonomically, without the mentor Interdependence: willing and able to ask help and develop a network of mentors, advisors and sources Time for the key questions: Are you a good mentee? Do you have all 12 pairs of skills? Which one do you need to enhance? #selfdevelopment #growthmindset #mentorship

If you’ve ever plugged-in to one of these outlets at the airport, you benefited from “Opportunity Charging”. For those unfamiliar with this term, opportunity charging refers to the charging of the batteries wherever and whenever power is available. Those 45 minutes before boarding a flight when you thought you had all your devices charged up for the flight, suddenly become ‘Oh so critical’ when you find yourself really needing some “juice”. Maybe a call on the way to the airport went long and drained the battery on your phone. Maybe you forgot to plug-in your laptop last night and now you need the charge so you have enough battery to work on the plane. Every percent of battery you can get in this moment from those basic outlets attached to the seats means more power, bliss, and a little less anxiety about how fast your battery will run out once on the plane. The reason we find value in these plugs at airport seats is the same reason electric vehicle (EV) drivers would find value in having more Level 2 (non-supercharger) #EVcharging stations at venues where we only spend ~45 minutes. You may not anticipate needing a charger everywhere you go (dentist, restaurants), but you’re glad a charger is there if you need it. Some charge is better than no charge. Or in this case, some mileage added is better than no mileage added to the battery range. In my opinion, the EV charging industry needs to double down, especially in urban areas, on making Level 2 charging more ubiquitous at places where dwell time is >30 minutes instead of building out a bunch of (Level 3) fast charging stations. What do you think? Comment below if you have benefitted from opportunity charging for your devices at the airport. Where else do you commonly park for 45+ minutes and see an opportunity for “opportunity charging” EV stations? Safe travels this holiday season! #KeepCalmAndChargeOn #electricvehicles #pangeacharging #commercialrealestate
