[ Standard Definition ]

By the mid-2000s, I was ten years into my engineering career, and was starting to get noticed.  By asking questions, and actually listening to the responses, people noticed. This became my standard: ask questions and, more importantly, digest the answers and ask more questions.

That approach probably helped to get invited to join Standards committees.  Now, I’m known for my contribution to Australian Standards.  I chair several committees, and the facilitation role suits me. I also like the writing, the editing, and the amazing committee discussions. 

The Standards committees are a real community, and I like being part of that.
