Careers rarely follow a straight line anymore. People move in and out of roles, explore new skills, take pauses, and reinvent themselves as life and work evolve, yet many organizations are still built around linear paths that no longer fit. This session explores how leaders can rethink career growth to reflect the realities of today’s workforce. We’ll discuss practical ways to design development around skills, experiences, and mobility rather than titles alone, and how to create pathways that support long-term growth and engagement.
