Spotting and Pitching Ideas for Growth

One way to grow your role is by spotting a problem in your organization and pitching an idea to address it. By involving others and sharing outside examples, you create a mutual work win that allows you to stretch your strengths and contribute to the organization's growth. This approach requires time and commitment, but it can lead to personal and professional growth, as demonstrated by examples of Helen's experience at BP and Virgin.
