Episode 8: Seeing the Forest for the Trees—How to Make Strategic Career Moves
In this episode of "Director Download," Justin is joined by NASFAA's National Chairs Lori Vedder, Billie Jo Hamilton, and Paula Luff to discuss how and when to make changes in your career. Drawing on their own experiences, the group discusses when you know it's time to make a change, how to put yourself in the best position to grow in your career, and why you shouldn't fear the word "ambition." Justin also interviews Martin Yate, a career management author and coach, on how to position yourself in the "inner circle" at work, how to draw on your manager's expertise to prepare for a career move, and the best time during the year to move to a new job.
