How to Future-Proof Your Career

🚫 Career Myth: “It’s up to my company to provide professional development and help me grow my career.”

🚨Truth: Organizations can offer training, mentorship, and growth opportunities. But real advancement happens when you take ownership.

This means seeking feedback, developing new skills, and making your goals visible.

Let me tell you about one of my clients. Sam was laid off after years of loyal service when his company downsized. When we met, he was devastated. What upset him most wasn’t just losing the job. It was that the company had been rolling out new AI technology, and no one had trained him. He felt left behind.

Here’s the hard truth: waiting for your company to keep you relevant is a risky move.

Business needs change quickly, and you may not be included in the latest organizational transition.

In my book, “You Are the CEO of Your Career” (2020), I shared this strategy: It’s up to each of us to take ownership, set direction, and stay relevant in our respective industries.

When you step into that CEO mindset, you stop waiting for someone else to define your growth and start charting your own path.

Here’s a better approach: Take your development into your own hands.

🔵 Explore free or low-cost online courses on platforms like LinkedIn Learning, Coursera, or MindEdge.

🔵 Join industry webinars or professional groups to see how others are applying new technology.

🔵 Ask peers or mentors for guidance instead of waiting for formal programs.

👉 Your career is yours. Please don’t wait for someone else to move it forward.

You don’t have to do it alone.
