Prepare for multiple possibilities to keep your future career options open
Enhancing
Assessing what lies ahead

Set a goal and work towards it
Talk to your manager or HR for additional support
Mastery
Explore ways to share your expertise
Evaluate which ‘track’ feels in keeping with your goals - technical specialist or operational leader?
