Featuring scholarly and practitioner insights from HR and people leaders, industry experts, and researchers.

This video explores the research-backed benefits of gaining broad, diverse work experiences early in one's career, rather than immediately pursuing a narrow "dream" role. While passion is important, jumping straight into a specialized field can leave professionals ill-prepared for the complex realities of the modern working world. Social science and management research demonstrate that exposure to various functions, industries, and responsibilities promotes flexibility, strategic thinking, and well-rounded competencies - skills prized by top employers. By building expansive professional networks and discovering alternative strengths outside their initial passions, early career "generalists" emerge uniquely qualified to adapt and excel as industries evolve. The video highlights how leading organizations in consulting and technology value this type of multi-faceted experience, allowing new hires to rotate through different roles, projects, and locations, and outlines practical strategies for professionals to facilitate broader early learning - an approach that proves the ideal path for developing future-proof skills and positioning oneself for sustained career success, even in ultimately achieving one's most ambitious goals and dreams.

In this HCI Webinar, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover talks with Ted Bradshaw about his book, Stop Chasing Squirrels: Six Essentials to Find Your Purpose, Focus, and Flow. Ted Bradshaw (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tedbradshaw/) served as an executive with Xerox and IBM, then left the Fortune 500 world to explore the thrills of entrepreneurship. What he found was a long string of success that looked great on the surface. But underneath it all, he felt anxious, exhausted, and stressed, chasing money wherever it led and wondering why he never felt fulfilled. Along his journey, Ted gained valuable insight into how a person can achieve fulfilment in all aspects of life and he shares those insights with his best-selling book, Stop Chasing Squirrels. Today, Ted lives his passion in helping others find theirs. A leading proponent of the Entrepreneurial Operating System®, Ted is a speaker, author, an Expert EOS Implementer™, and the Community Leader for EOS Worldwide. Learn more at TedBradshaw.com.
