Frank, excellent points. For years I was coined a hardworker, dependable senior professional. I articulated my desire to manage scope with increased responsibility at the executive level. For years promotion did not come, then I was presented with a strategic role, new space and asked to go deliver. Best decision ever. Not only did it show I was able to take big risks but it also demonstrated that I could lead and deliver with uncertainty. I encourage all who want to grow their career to step outside their comfort zone for the professional and personal development. You’ll never be the same! Great read!
