Career directionWeeks of reading and conversations about roles that fit. Callings can show your strengths and the pay for each role.You already have two or three target roles.You do not know what comes next, or you want structure and a formal assessment.
LeadershipPeer groups, feedback from your manager, reading.You have a mentor who has done the job.A first management role or a bigger team, often paid for by the employer.
