Session Name:

Game Career Seminar: Career Trees: Growing Your Career Towards Your Goals

Overview:

When mapping a career path, conventional advice is to pick goals to work towards in a sequential manner. Life is rarely simple and in a straight manner, so creating a list of goals rarely results in a practical path to follow. Over the years I designed a way of mapping your career as a tree allows for much more flexibility, utility, and can help in planning. When you map your goals on a career tree it can be easy to define multiple career goals you may be working on simultaneously, to document how some goals may contribute to others, and it allows for much more flexibility in plotting your path in your career.
