A must-read for STEM graduates who aspire to be the technical leaders and executives of our next generation. This book is also for mid-level technical managers who seek to move up the corporate ladder but are not sure how to differentiate themselves from their peers. Pete Devenyi highlights ten capabilities that technology leaders must develop and nurture in order to achieve their full potential. He shares learnings and techniques through a collection of compelling, real-world stories from his own 37-year technology journey. He discusses the importance of a never-ending commitment to technical education but recognizes that it can only propel a leader so far. It is critical to develop many additional skills as well, such as the ability to maintain composure in high-pressure situations. Technologists who commit to acquiring all the capabilities outlined in the book are far more likely to rise to senior executive levels in major corporations.

From the street smarts of a 15-year-old, rose a triumphant entrepreneur whose resilience and determination forged a path to success. The Language of Success is a story of survival, self-improvement, and accomplishment. In these pages, the author walks us through her sometimes-tumultuous upbringing in a ‘milky-white’ town of little diversity, while striving to understand the bigger world around her. From leaving home at 15 and facing daily challenges of survival, to finding those paths to nontraditional education and opportunities. This unorthodox route into the world of business and later linguistics, showcases the opportunities and ‘go with your guts’ intuition, that often lead to places you never dreamed of. The lessons learned through years of minimum wage jobs and struggle were later her building blocks for success. Over the course of two decades, she built her company, Empire Interpreting Service, into a leading Language Service Provider (LSP). Theresa bootstrapped her company and molded it into a respected, award-winning organization that has been cited as the ‘gold standard’ in its field.
