Many young professionals do not get relevant guidance on how to progress a career, terms of building a foundation and taking strategic steps/risks to progress.

What works for one doesn’t work for the other because each individual is as diverse as a finger print. The experiences, perceptions and dreams differ but many are brought under one umbrella as they work in a certain community.

Triggered by offline grapevine, feedback mechanisms, social expectations etc. may end up negatively impacting health and lose out on opportunities.

The feedback mechanisms at play are mostly inaccurate, inconsistent or merely a justification of a rating once or twice a year.

The usual measures are money, hike or a title?

‘Success is subjective, growth is objective’

It’s imperative to learn what measure of success should be applied at a specific point of a career. Be it a fresher, experienced individual, a people manager, leader etc.?

Hosting a webinar next week to dispel some of these myths on:

what should a measure of success include?
‘how’ to building careers to thrive?
what noise to filter out?

No, govt jobs aren’t better. It all depends on an individual choice.
