Career development is yours to own.

Career growth is not always linear, and the journey can be confusing. Most organizations, including top-tier options, don’t initiate clear or standardized growth plans, let alone a customized approach taking your past and future into account.

It’s up to you to take charge of your personalized growth.

70% of professional growth is derived from work experiences, while 20% comes from human interactions, and just 10% is from formal education. Knowing experiences drive the fastest growth, you can set yourself apart and truly own your growth.

Begin by assessing where you are today, and where you want to be. From there, you can map your personal experiences, showing the gaps you have and how to fill them over the next few years. Growing yourself isn’t easy but, don’t wait around for someone else to water you. Take charge of your career and your future.
