The agile brand may have become toxic, but your skills haven't lost value.
If you're struggling - listen or watch as we discuss the valuable skills you have and how you might apply them in future roles.
Founder & CEO Alex Polyakov returns to the podcast, joining Product Manager Brian Orlando and Enterprise Business Agility Consultant Om Patel for a discussion about the market shift that has taken place and how people avoid being held back by outdated terminology!
One immediately actionable piece of advice?
Reframe your experience in business terms, such as:
What impact did your presence bring?
How did you save money or drive revenue?
How did you improve speed to market or decision-making?
What deep organizational problems did you solve?
These are executive-level skills that could translate to Director and VP roles. This work hasn't disappeared - it's evolved and so should your career positioning.
