Career Success Requires Parallel Paths
By Ford R. Myers,
President of Career Potential, LLC
In my career coaching practice, I often find myself telling clients that they need to pursue two parallel paths in order to achieve career success and satisfaction. They inevitably ask, “You mean I have to work in two different careers at the same time?” No, that’s not what I mean.
Here are the parallel paths I’m talking about:
- Whatever job you happen to have now, do it and do it well. Give it your all. Contribute your best skills. Make a real difference for the company. Manage your job like a real professional.
- You need to manage your career like a real professional too. Your career needs to be thought about, planned and implemented over time. You need to continue evolving and enhancing your credentials. You need to continually grow your network, improve your skills, increase your visibility and credibility, and prepare for the next position.

Do you freeze-up at the prospect of going on a job interview? Do your hands get sweaty; your stomach in a knot?
It’s a fact that better interviews get better job offers! Yet most candidates show-up for interviews totally unprepared! The keys to “acing” the interview include: have a strategy, practice your skills and be fully-prepared!
Living The Life You Love – A Unique, Virtual Conference – April 16-22, 2016
What does it mean to live a life that you love? You see hundreds of articles and websites about this, but what does this really mean and how do you do it? That’s the focus of a global, virtual conference called “Game Changing Questions and How They Can Transform Your Life.” Featuring thought leaders and experts from around the world, this event goes beyond the realm of career management to look at spirituality, finances, health, wellness, wholeness and more.
The program was created and will be facilitated by Adina Laver, a leading consultant, coach and educator. It offers a powerful set of “blueprints” for exploring these types of questions in a truly meaningful way. Registration is now open!
