From Climbing to Thriving: Embracing Lateral Growth in Your Career (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798889263647)

As modern humans, the notion of freedom reigns supreme. Personal freedom, financial freedom, creative freedom, freedom of thought, or spiritual freedom. The list goes on and on. Some are easier to achieve than others. But what if we could achieve professional freedom?

While the rules of geometry would disagree, the optimal path between two points isn't always a straight line. We've been led to believe through years of conditioning that we must follow the predefined path straight up the career ladder and into the corner office. The faster, the better.

This book explores the history of the workplace, how we got here, and what we need to do to break this antiquated perception of growth. Through research and insights gathered from professionals navigating various stages of their career, this book explores the value of alternate paths. We are reminded that true optionality resides in having breadth, not depth, by offering a wider professional footprint from which to explore and find our calling, our passions, and our paths.

For anyone embarking on a new career journey, feeling stuck, or looking for some motivation, From Climbing to Thriving: Embracing Lateral Growth in Your Career will give you the tools and insight to help navigate your professional journey for the long run.
