Think of Your Career as a Climbing Wall, Not a Ladder

Its easy to think of your career path in terms of climbing a ladder.

But reality isnt that simple.

Your career path probably isnt a straight lineits probably more like a climbing wall.

You may even have to move down the wall at certain points.

The key is to keep growing and learning.

My career path has been anything but straight.

I started out practicing law, and then joined the consulting world for 13 highly rewarding years.

Since 2008, I have had the good fortune to lead TIAA-CREF.

I have loved applying my talents to such a diverse array of positions and organizations.

Its been extremely rewarding on both a personal and professional level.

Sure, some career paths are cut-and-dry.

But many careers dont follow a step-by-step guide to success.

If one straightforward path isnt available, it might be worth moving sideways to get to Point B.

As long as youre growing and learning overall, youre still moving up the wall.
