ANECDOTE

Promotion Then Abrupt Rollback

  • Jeff describes rapid early success: a quick promotion and building a global team of five.
  • Over a year, leadership changes and family illness coincided with his scope being reduced to an individual contributor role, leaving him devastated.
INSIGHT

Moving Away Versus Moving Toward

  • Muriel frames career pattern as 'wherever you go, there you are' to highlight recurring behaviors.
  • The distinction matters: moving away from problems is different than moving toward a desired future.
ADVICE

Ask Clearly And Cultivate New Sponsors

  • Ask for support early and be explicit about capacity and limits rather than assuming you must do it all.
  • Prioritize building relationships with new leaders to earn trust instead of relying only on past sponsors.
