Our careers are a journey, and like all journeys, they’re a series of connected experiences. To make the most of our personal journeys, we shouldn’t look for or even expect a linear path. We ought to instead partake in the deviations, exploring and embracing the “side quests.” These deviations typically aren’t part of the main quest as they have their own agendas, but they make the main quest more enjoyable, often helping us remember the basics, level up our skills, learn new skills, and better prepare us for situations to come, forging us into leaders. Let’s talk about side quests and why they’re crucial for a successful and fulfilling career.
