TOPIC PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Orgs won’t manage your career any more. Yougotta run your own career: create your own opportunities & jobs.
CREATE YOUR OWN JOB & OPPORTUNITIES LeadFollow on a virtual team (creating your own innovative org) Swim in value streams Surf on new turf
Network where success is already happening Become professionally ambidextrous Build your professional balance sheet Continuously improve everything
When you’re professionally ready, opportunity comes to you.
Opportunities come when you have the right stuff at the right place at the right time.
Proactively & strategically shaping and expanding your professional competencies & contributions to enable you to invent & “swing” into future jobs and career–building opportunities.
Once you temporarily run out of “vines” (ProDev opportunities) in your job/career, drop down into the (value-creation) “river” & swim where the currents (projects) are strongest. Then go back into the upstream “jungle” to find new vines. But watch out for alligators!
The simplest formula for career success: Whatever comes EASIEST & MOST NATURALLY to you = what you most like to do = YOUR CAREER Finding this requires
Unlocking pro capacities → • Networking → • Vine swinging → DISCOVERING YOURSELF PROFESSIONALLY
Self-discovery via interdependency (virtual teams) • Ambidextrous professionalism (IVE + EVE skills combined) • Swim in EVE/IVE value streams (the work processes for creating client value)
Virtual team success experiments (workplace chain-reactions) via counterintuitive innovative thinking • Constituent contact (CONcon) • Internal/External networking
proact/react/proact/react No one can or will manage your career for you. Like walking with a lantern, you can see down the road professionally only 1 step at a time. But shine a spotlight on the road to see where you’re really heading.
A project sets the table for your performance, success, and ProDev. Projects are your turf for LeadManaging. Set the table with your pro capabilities & those of others.
Projects are the sky; you are the kite. Projects are the gasoline; you’re the car. Drive where you want to go.
Career planning has to make room for the dual Ss: Spontaneity & Serendipity.
Opportunity often looks foreign.
The fertilizer for greener pastures comes from a fertileresume.
Time Know when it’s time to move on.
Careers don’t exist; only life. Don’t let your career steal you life.
BOTTOM LINE: When you get gas for your car, you have to fill your own tank. YOU are responsible for your own ProDev. Orgs tend to plug people into job descriptions & forget about them.
