70 - There's No Going Back
Cindy Esliger talks about continuously moving forward in our careers rather than resting on laurels and simply expecting to succeed. There is a need to not go back, to push ourselves to improve and grow in order to stay relevant. Career stagnation is the alternative, and Cindy has insight on how to avoid that.
There are several factors that contribute to forward momentum, including building new skills, building relationships, and identifying our goals and ambitions. Building a diverse set of skills and knowledge adds many important things to career trajectories. Cindy highlights three of the most important benefits: adaptability, creativity, and flexibility.
What Cindy suggests is taking initiative in moving things forward in our workplaces. Demonstrate leadership skills, for example. Start new projects. Initiative gets us noticed by those who make promotion decisions. Cindy describes how relationships and collaboration are just as important for growth as initiative. She offers ways to advance soft skills and practical skills that make a difference to success. Don’t stand still on past accomplishments. Instead take Cindy’s advice to progress your career.
