    If You're Not Growing, It's Showing w/Julie Winkle

    How well is the company you’re working for setting you up for success in your current role and preparing you for roles that could be a great fit for you in the future? On the other hand, what are you doing to position yourself for professional growth? Professional development is one of the five career drivers we emphasize all the time and is a cornerstone of long-term career success. It’s not just about advancement; it’s about continuously learning, adapting, and positioning yourself for future opportunities. Career development is more than just a buzzword. Statistics show an astounding 94% of workers would stay longer with an organization if it invested in their development. In fact, companies that prioritize employee development see a 58% boost in retention rates, proving that growth isn't just beneficial for individuals but also for the organizations they serve. Someone who has been a champion for helping organizations develop their employees is this episode's guest Julie Winkle Giulioni. Julie is one of Inc. Magazine’s Top 100 speakers, she’s the author of Promotions Are So Yesterday, Help Employees Thrive, and the co-author of the international bestseller, Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go. Julie is a regular columnist for Training Industry Magazine and SmartBrief, and contributes articles on leadership, career development, and workplace trends to numerous publications including Fast Company and The Economist. On this episode, she’s joined us to share some wisdom about making professional growth an important pillar of your career.

    Who's Sponsoring Your Career? w/Dr. Lisa Toppin

    Do you remember the age of the "good old boy" network? At the time it was a staple of the workplace culture, often characterized by exclusivity and informality. This network was known for its power to boost careers and open doors—but only for a select few. Despite its negative aspects, the network's core feature was its strong advocacy and protection for its members. Ironically, if the fundamentals of the “good old boy” network could be applied universally to today’s workplace, it could go a long way toward improving employee development and diversity in the office place because the primary strength of the network was its ability to mobilize resources and opportunities swiftly and effectively. If we just strip away the exclusivity, we'd find a model of active sponsorship that can be incredibly powerful. Join us for this episode of the Career PROgressions Podcast. Our conversation with Dr. Lisa Toppin will help you learn how to find sponsors for your career and become a career sponsor for others the right way. Dr. Toppin has been an HR leader and champion of diversity for multiple Fortune 500 companies for over 20 years. She has helped business leaders advance inclusion, diversity, equity, and innovation in every aspect of their organization. And, oh yes... she has sponsored and been sponsored throughout her career. I hope you'll reserve some time for a word from our sponsor! Want to learn more about career sponsorships?
