Cisco's advocacy community, Cisco Insider Advocates, brings our customers together and provides a way for them to make powerful connections, expand their professional and personal networks, and learn from top experts in their field.
Fate stepped in, and I was introduced to the world of Cisco by a couple legendary consultants.
Partnering with Cisco has become the greatest game changer in my career to date, enabling me to upskill and, even better, to leverage experiences in engineering, sales, marketing, and procurement to become one of just a few experts within the Channel Islands to deliver a compelling value to service providers and digital integrators alike.
Fast forward a decade, and I'm now jointly heading up the network solutions team within an amazing digital integrations business, Prosperity 24/7, a Premier Integrator for Cisco.
We now hold two Cisco specialisations: the Networking Specialisation and the Environmental Sustainability Specialisation.
I immediately saw the value in this community and how, through gamification, I could enjoy learning about new products and services that provoke constructive conversations with clients, while building points to redeem on future purchases through the Cisco Store.
Meeting a few of the CIA members at Cisco Live brought an immediate connection with them, especially when we were discussing our shared approaches to technology and developing business.
I formed new and valued friendships, and I'm looking forward to the next time we meet, whether that's at another Cisco Live or when we visit each other's country.
On a professional level, Cisco Insider Advocates is proving to be the perfect destination for self-development and encouragement to step outside of your comfort zone.
An amazing team supports Cisco Insider Advocates, and they're excited to assist and encourage advocates to develop themselves and in turn, their careers.
To reach the higher ranks, advocates can complete challenges that can involve writing online reviews, speaking at a Cisco event, etc.
These may be out of the ordinary for many engineers and consultants; however, with Cisco Insider, you're given the opportunity to excel and grow your value at your own pace.
Let's move on to Cisco Live 2024 Amsterdam held this past February.
Cisco Live 2024 in Amsterdam was nothing short of amazing.
It's safe to say that the Insider community has enabled like-minded experts, ordinary guys who share a thirst for life, to connect and make a positive difference.
During the conference, we offered a lot of fun activities at the Cisco Insider booth.
Be sure to book Cisco Live early and begin scheduling your events before they fill up.
