The Power of the Small Stuff

The Power of the Small Stuff

At SS&A, we believe in the importance of passing our knowledge on to others. Travis Krimmel, Associate and Project Architect at SS&A, did just that at the 2022 Young Architect Winter Series. He presented a workshop titled “Don’t Forget the Small Stuff: The Often Overlooked Strategy to Rapidly Level Up Your Career.”

In his presentation, Travis talked about his combined experiences in the military and as an architect here at SS&A and the common denominator that he feels propels people to success – the small stuff. Small stuff, combined with hard work and communication, takes an individual, a project, and an organization from ordinary to EXTRAordinary.

Here are the key takeaways from Travis’ presentation:

• By doing the small stuff consistently, over time, big moves can be accomplished.
• Take the time to understand your why and figure out where you would like to go.
• Find a small task that you can do consistently to move you in that direction and schedule a time and day to do it each week.

The workshop presented Travis with a great opportunity to hone his presentation skills. Though the conference was virtual, Travis fully engaged his audience by working through concepts and finding solutions with the attendees throughout the workshop.

SS&A and Travis are extremely passionate and motivated to help other Young Architects and young professionals level up and find their own paths.
