Register for the replay and takeaway!

The time-honored tradition of defining career development exclusively in terms of promotions, moves, and title changes is dead.

What lives on, however, are unrealistic expectations from that outdated mindset, leaving employees disengaged, managers disempowered, and organizations disadvantaged as they struggle to retain talent. 

The good news is that beyond, between, and besides the climb up the corporate ladder, there are countless other ways that employees want to grow. 

At this session, you'll get to celebrate the book launch and interact with Julie while you discover:

  • An expanded definition of career development that meets today’s reality head-on.
  • How you want to grow right now.
  • Resources to help managers engage in the career development today’s employees demand.

Julie will give us a sneak peek at her new career development program based on the book 

The flexible program focuses on an easy-to-apply, research-based, multidimensional career framework at the heart of Promotions Are SO Yesterday. This updated framework features contemporary alternatives to promotions — contribution, competence, connection, confidence, challenge, contentment, and choice — all of which offer powerful ways to grow that, unlike promotions, are completely within a manager’s control.

This program expands how leaders and managers define career development and help others do the same as they move beyond old 1- and 2-dimensional views to embrace a possibility-filled, 7-dimensional approach to career development.
