How to start learning about the 🌟Jungle Gym framework🌟 for a fulfilling career?

I have compiled a simple 5 point list to help you get started in this post.

(Recap: To create a great career roadmap we need to stop thinking about our career as a ladder. If we instead see our career as a jungle gym, our career path becomes different blocks of interesting core skills to master along the way. But when I first got interested in this topic, I had a hard time figuring out where and how to get started.)

👉🏽So here are some great resources for you to get started.👈🏽

1️⃣ Read this blog by Amy Franko where she explains Pattie Seller's Jungle Gym concepts in detail: https://lnkd.in/g46gTDx4

2️⃣ Watch this short 20 min YouTube Video: Sheryl Sandberg addresses the class of 2012 at Harvard Business School https://lnkd.in/gNtjAxdJ . It is a must-watch beginner resource for anyone interested in this topic. A transcript is available on huffpost - https://lnkd.in/gh-vvrDK.
