Village people

“Connection is why we’re here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives.” 
– Brené Brown

It takes a village to raise a child, but so does building and maintaining a career, according to our thought leader partner and career development expert Christine DiDonato of Career Revolution.

In her blog post republished to our website today, Christine takes a look at the village people in our lives who form a vital support system in our careers, and some the folks that she, personally, has found to have made an impact along her own career journey:

• The mayor aka your mentor
• The village witch aka a tough boss
• The personal trainer aka your career coach
• The innkeeper aka the hiring manager
• The wise elder aka a career adviser
• The matchmaker aka recruiter
• The baker aka your cheerleader
  And others!

Who lives in your career village?
