The Career Design Map
Challenge Convention & Create the Career You Really Want
ABout The Book
Go to these schools. Join these professions. Stay in your unrewarding job. Keep your head down. Climb the corporate ladder.
This old school, step-by-step career advice isn’t just limiting and unfulfilling—it’s clearly no longer working for today’s rising talent.
With entire industries being upended and once-lucrative jobs falling victim to massive layoffs, you know you need to be highly adaptable. At the same time, you rightly want to act with intention and purpose rather than letting the wind take you where it will.
What, then, are you supposed to do? That’s why I created the Career Design Map.
In this concise yet powerful book, you’ll discover:
Where you currently are on the Career Design Map
Which of the “Meaningful Four” career types (Contributor, Go-Getter, Expert, or Executive) you want to pursue
How to avoid the “Dangerous Seas” of Invisibility, Arrogance, Disengagement, and Burnout
Strategic considerations and practical exercises to begin the hard work of creating the career you really want
