A career should not be thought of as a straight-line, always advancing path. There are twists and turns in EVERYONE’S career path – no one (man or woman) can say otherwise today (in fact, one’s career today can look more like a “Chutes and Ladders” game).
Here is a great 4-minute video to watch regarding the changing nature of careers. The speaker is Sylvia Ann Hewlett, President of the Center for Work-Life Policy:
Her story may be very much like your own story, if you have had interruptions in your career (her concept of on-ramps and off-ramps). Has this happened to you or someone you know? How do you best deal with time away from your career, and how to make that work to your advantage? How should companies respond to the changing nature of careers?
If you have any ideas on this subject, email me a dwyld.kwu@gmail.com and I will post a follow-up. Look forward to the discussion.
