Build Career Options Before You Need Them
2025-12-30
If your role changed tomorrow, would you have options or just panic?
Most people assume their company will guide their career. That someone, somewhere, is thinking about their growth. But here's the truth: no one is planning your next move but you.
In this episode, I’m sharing a core negotiator mindset shift: build your BATNA before you need it. You’ll hear what a senior leader told me about how he evaluates his team’s preparedness, and why confidence doesn’t come from certainty. It comes from having real options.
Your career isn't a job title. It’s a portfolio. Let’s talk about how to invest in it on purpose.
