The New Linear Career Path

Growing up we were fed a steady diet of the linear career path. We were taught to get an education, figure out our career before graduating or else you are behind (or worse...a failure), make sure to use your degree and get a good job, and then make sure to climb the management ladder. Sound familiar?

Except the concept of a linear career path is an illusion. Or is it?

What if instead of real career paths looking more like squiggly messes than lines we simply changed the x and y axis? On this episode I share:

• What the new linear career path is
• What causes careers to feel like a squiggly line
• The stories we need to stop telling ourselves about our career
• The foundation for your new linear career path
