Trajectory: 7 Career Strategies to Take You from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be

Too often, people focus on the short term–mere survival--because they remain caught between a fear of failure and a desire for instant success, which results in limited risk-taking but also limiting their opportunities. As much as they want to get ahead, they simply can’t see how to get there. They don’t see how their current position is not merely a dead-end trap but actually a springboard to their next position--or even the one after that.

Business author David Van Rooy wants you to know that the key is to have faith in your trajectory. He says that every person has their own career path--and this timely and refreshingly practical book presents seven strategies designed to help anyone create and manage theirs.

In Trajectory, you will discover how to:

• Make the most of feedback
• Avoid stagnation and break through plateaus
• Achieve growth through failure
• Move to the front of the pack through persistence
• Continuously develop both “soft” and “hard” professional skills

You don’t need to start over! Just discover where you currently are on your career trajectory. From building relationships with mentors, to positioning (and repositioning) yourself for promotion, Trajectory provides the tools you need for a lifetime of advancement.
