The first 10 topics

The first ten most important topics for career advice for advanced professionals ready for the next step in your career that we identified are listed below. We used a number of criteria to come up with this list. This included basic expectations setting such as "Sharing your professional aspirations", statistical criteria (topi 5 reasons why you are overlooked for a promotion) as well as emotional intelligence (targeting your communication to your audience and ability to read your audience) that are another frequent failure points.

Every week, there will be two new tips posted so that this site has its first 100 tips by the end of 2016. We will structure these 100 tips in such a way that there may multiple tips related to one competency, so the way titles will be organized is <competency>:<tip>. While competencies will be mostly familiar to you, the tips are intended to be fresh and as practical is possible with a lot of examples from our personal career as well as stories shared by students at our Leadership University sessions and visitors to this web site. We will share questions and exercises that will help you assess whether you are on track.

Your input into the topics and the content is greatly appreciated. Let's make this conversation interactive, as every conversation should be. Share your experience, ask questions, make this helpful to you in your career growth.
