Presentation: Your Career. Plan it, Own it, Live it… ahhh the paradox, the contradiction, the irony

There was a billboard in downtown Toronto once spotted whilst on IIBA business
“In every career there are 1,645 Mondays. Enjoy more of them”.
Perhaps it is a mindset shift to be more positive. That must be it – a positive mindset ! Say the words and it is done. Oh, if only it were that simple.

We are often reminded to take ownership of our own career. The paradox is we often join organisations on the promise the employer develops our career.
We are often reminded to take time out to focus on career. The contradiction is we are assigned demanding deadlines. Afterall if you want a job done, give it to a busy person – right?
We are often reminded to challenge ourselves and try new things. The irony is we are often ‘rewarded’ for getting a good outcome by being asked to replicate it again and again and again…

What is the role of our managers and leaders? What is our role?
What does the literature say? What is your experience?
