Ep 115 - How to Not Lose Sight of Your Centre
Meha Nelson is a Founder, Researcher and Deployment Software Engineer. If that sounds like a lot, it’s because it is. To Meha, it’s simple: the work is at the centre of her title, not the fuss around it. Meha is the Co-founder of Predina, an engineering start-up which developed a machine to predict the risk of road traffic crashes in real-time. Since leaving, she has focused her sites as the Product Manager of Minica, an engineering company that develops Artificial Intelligence and Robotic Process Automation (RPA). In a few years, Meha went from graduate to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list but it’s what she had to learn again that changed her. In this episode, Meha discusses the importance of humility, why we shouldn’t put value in our valuables and to remember what matters: the work, the work, the work.
Meha Nelson
When we go searching for work, our attention immediately goes upwards. We want to climb and be commended for it but more often than not, we reach the top and we don’t feel overjoyed or gratified for long. In fact for a time, we feel nothing at all because in the chase for contentment, we lose sight of our centre.
The point where we must turn to is one which Meha Nelson has recently reacquainted herself with: a place of humility, self-awareness and presence. Mehan is a Founder, Researcher and Deployment Software Engineer and co-founded Predina, an engineering start-up that developed a machine to predict the risk of road traffic crashes in real-time. As the recognition and accolades hit (from Forbes 30 under 30 to MIT Innovators 35 under 35), Meha noticed herself moving away from her values towards valuables.
In that moment she realised what mattered most was the work, not the celebrity around it. Following Predina, Meha became the Product Manager of Minica, an engineering company that develops Artificial Intelligence and Robotic Process Automation (RPA). In this episode, Meha reveals the competitive nature of STEM, why we shouldn’t put value in our valuables and the importance of remembering what matters: the work, the work, the work.
