5 Steps to Own Your Career

Many organizations are asking their employees to take more ownership of their careers, which includes learning, developing and career directions. This provides more empowerment and opportunities and generally results in more engagement, productivity and loyalty to an organization.

When considering their own careers, employees can often feel stuck or lacking in ownership or guidance. But they don’t always communicate those thoughts. And without direction from managers or other guides, many get frustrated and end up leaving organizations to search for other options or try a different career path. This costs companies thousands or millions of dollars in attrition and replacement costs that are completely unnecessary.

The Own Your Career keynote is designed to inspire and motivate employees to take ownership of their careers and to understand how they can be responsible for their own career growth so that they create a career path that leaves them happier, more engaged, often more loyal and ensures that your company is getting the best from your people.

Andy will address: 

• Setting a vision and goals and knowing what options are available inside your organization so that employees know where they are going and how to get there
• Continuous learning and getting feedback to improve so that employees are constantly improving and prepared for new roles and the future of work
• Building and leveraging a network (internal and external) so that employees can be more effective in their roles and find it easier to move and take on new roles in the future
• Having the right mindset so that employees are more open to pivoting and learning from failures and feel less frustrated when challenges come up
• Building a personal brand and reputation so that employees are set upwell for future opportunities both inside and outside the organization
