The Individual Contributor - How to progress your career without going into management

The best technicians and engineers do not necessarily make the best managers. Similarly, not all of the best managers were the best engineers. These are different skillsets and moving from one to the other is not the best choice for everyone. It may be that you don't enjoy the duties of managing people, or it may be that management is not best suited to your skillset or personality. No matter the reason, we will delve into how to keep your career moving forward, whilst staying on the path you choose.

In this session, I will show you how elevate your professional value in the workplace by becoming more effective, and how to ensure this is recognised. I discuss specific things that I have done to help me in my own career.

Whether you are looking for promotion, pay rise, job move or even just career stability, you will find practical advice on how to achieve that. This is not a tips and tricks session, it is designed to give you real tools and methods for achieving excellence in the workplace. It will help you learn how to genuinely add value to the organisations you work for, and for that to be acknowledged.

This is also a fun session for managers who are responsible for career development and succession planning. It may help them understand the different perspectives of their team members.

This session is aimed at ambitious individuals, and also existing managers. The aim is to help people become more valuable in the marketplace and have more options.

It also has a broader appeal to people just looking to enhance their skills and become a solid professional in their line of work, leading to career security by having desirable skills.
