Taking the Next Steps on Your Professional Journey
By John Walker
April 2024
As I reflect on my professional journey, I’m reminded of the constant evolution and perpetual growth that defines our careers. Our journeys are ours to define and accomplish based on our ever-changing perceptions of growth and development.
One commonality: Our professional journeys are always grounded in continuous improvement, and we control the path we take. How can we accomplish the next “big thing?” Where will our next career-defining opportunity come from? What is our next step?
The answer to these questions might not always be found in the professional space — often, growth and development are fostered in how we stretch ourselves in the other areas of our lives.
