So if career progression isn’t about climbing the ladder, then what’s it about?  You will find out in this thought provoking career development webinar.

Global demographics are changing and so are people’s views about career success. Rather than looking at career progression as a ladder, where one rung is higher than the other, it may be more accurate think about our careers – in fact, our lives – as “flowers,” with each petal being an essential feature of the whole. In this “portfolio” model, everything you add — to your knowledge reservoir, to your experience base, to yourself — is a valuable component in and of itself that can lead to deeper satisfaction in your career.

In this webinar, speaker and author, Margaretta Noonan, will challenge your thinking about your career progression and provide tactical advice on how to manage your own – and your employees’ – career development. This webinar will not only give you cause for pause and reflection, but will provide practical advice on how to apply a portfolio management approach to your career evolution.
