Climbing the proverbial ladder is no longer the only way to advance in our careers. It's more like moving around a lattice or climbing through a jungle gym. Sometimes we have to move laterally, take a step back, or just take a break while we figure out our next move.

Jasmin Forts, MBA joined me for this month’s Water Cooler Chat. I was really excited to invite her on the show because, while she is a career coach, she is also very transparent about sharing her own career journey. From experience, and her expertise, Jasmin shared how to deal with the non-linear path to career advancement.

Chat highlights include:

  • Why it’s important to be open-minded your career options and that it doesn’t have to be a straight line

  • Why your current job title should not be the focus of your career.

  • The importance of goal setting and having a clear plan in order to stay ready

  • Identifying when it’s time to move from your current role

  • What to do when you feel you have other priorities that may slow down your career advancement

Tune in to the Water Cooler Chat to watch the replay and join the conversation.
