Description
Have you been struggling to get your career to the next level? Maybe you’re awesome at your trade. Maybe you are well networked in your company. Mayyyybe you’re even the go-to person that seems to be able to fix everyone’s “problems.” So, why is awesome you not getting awesomely ahead? It’s one thing to be great at your job. It’s entirely another to be all-out spectacular in your career. As a consultant, recruiter, business owner, and now career coach, I’ve long known skill stacking is what makes you powerful. It’s the mind-bending formula where 1+1=4 and 1+1+1=10. Truly exponential in nature. You might hear me say, “The more “layers” you have, the more desirable you’ll be to an employer.” I speak of how many boxes you check when it comes to their silly job descriptions. This is part of the equation. Now, skill stacking isn’t just about how you match. It’s about how much impact you’ll have. At this point, you might be thinking I’m using my 9 semesters of higher math to make up new formulas. But have you ever heard of someone’s pay rising and rising until all of sudden their compensation seems to be in a new stratosphere? They likely skill stacked. Today, I’m sharing my skill stacking concepts and how I’ve built my career using these techniques. Give it try and note the awesome results!
