Career Growth

Innovative, fast-growing organizations are constantly changing. This organizational reality means that there are rarely predictable “career ladders” to climb. Instead, career growth is more like rock climbing. It requires employees to collect a variety of skills and experiences and drive their development without expecting their manager to tell them how to grow. In this workshop, we teach the three things that research shows makes the biggest difference for individuals who successfully grow their careers: they understand their own strengths, they cultivate a diverse network, and they proactively build their skills.
