This, 1000 percent. We are so conditioned to believe that everything in life is an upward, linear path. But I have found that real career growth happens in the side turns. Staying open to all the possibilities is key. Love your wisdom Rae!
Love the idea of multiple ladders...and so true. By trading some of those ladders for scaffolding that connects them you cover more ground and build a broader support framework to build your career (the building). The more ladders and scaffolding, the higher your building can get :) Thank you for this post as I am currently getting ready to build some scaffolding myself, and this was just what I needed to hear. Multiple ladders is the way!

Appreciate the compliment, April! Love this idea about growth in the turns ... there might be another post in there, somewhere. :-)

Ladders + scaffolding -- love this! So glad you're building the career that's right for you.
