“No One Is Coming to Develop You” Milton Dodd, President, Infinity Systems

  • Virtual Zoom United States (map)

Own Your Development

Organizations can provide opportunities, resources, mentors, and training—but ultimately, no one will be more invested in your professional growth than you.

In this candid conversation, Milton Dodd will challenge participants to move beyond waiting for an employer, manager, or organization to determine what development looks like. Participants will explore how to take greater ownership of their careers by intentionally developing the skills, experiences, relationships, visibility, and perspective needed to advance.

Whether you are pursuing your next opportunity, preparing for greater leadership responsibility, or simply determined to continue growing, this session will encourage you to become the primary architect of your own development.

Key Takeaways

  • Recognize the difference between organizational development and personal ownership of your career.

  • Identify areas where you can become more intentional about your professional growth.

  • Consider the skills, experiences, relationships, and visibility needed for your next level.

  • Leave with a stronger sense of personal accountability for what comes next.

Who Should Attend: Professionals at any career stage who want to take greater ownership of their development and position themselves intentionally for future opportunities.
