Recommendation

Too often, women keep their heads down at work. They don’t want to make mistakes, so they avoid speaking up in meetings and rarely offer their ideas. These actions hold them back from the leadership opportunities and promotions they deserve. It’s time to take some risks, argues career coach Christie Hunter Arscott. Her helpful guide will steer you through the process of strategic risk-taking. Learn how harnessing a curious, courageous and agile mind-set can propel you into your dream job. From embracing change to asking for what you want, Arscott says, taking risks is the secret to career success. 

Take-Aways

  • Risk-taking is a path toward upward mobility.
  • Assess which risks to take, determine possible rewards, note lessons learned and then risk again.
  • Ask more questions when approaching risky situations.
