The world of work has changed, we're more connected than ever before. There are a set of new rules on the table for managing your career successfully. The top talent has already adapted to these new rules, the rest of us are getting left behind.
Become a thought leader in your specialist area. Make sure you can be found by head-hunters, recruitment consultants, employers & organisations that you want to work with.
Be clear about the problems you can solve and the added value you deliver to your employer. Know who your next boss is likely to be, the problems you can solve for them, & be visible to them.
When you're clear about the skills you possess, you can use them to pivot from one field to another. Your skills give you mobility, and authority, so you don't have to start from scratch when it's time to change careers.
