Reaching the top of our Career

In order to reach the top of our career and professions we need to exhibit the capacity to adapt, change and grow.  This comes from taking on additional assignments and demonstrating to our colleagues the depth and breadth of our talents.  The visibility we gain is also a spur to our careers.  In many of these instances, we have the opportunity to interact with a completely different group of people and learn a new set of skills that will only help us in the long run.  The other way we damage ourselves is by expecting rewards or promotions for every little additional task we are asked to perform.  Rewards and promotions will follow as surely as night follow day.  The smart ones amongst us will actively seek out new opportunities to display our talents, proving to ourselves as much as others, that we are ready, willing and able.
