Introduction - MAC000

Welcome to Managing a Career, I'm Layne Robinson.

This podcast is aimed to help you navigate the path to professional success. Whether you're a recent graduate still searching for your place or a seasoned professional with years of experience, the knowledge and insights I will be sharing can show you how you can position yourself for growth and career advancement.

I've been a software developer for multiple Fortune 500 companies and spent time in the software consultant world, too.  The past few years, I made the transition to management and currently lead a team of over 40 developers across the globe.  In my 30 years, one thing I've realized is that most managers spend the majority of their one-on-one time focused on project status and not on career development.  It's usually left for the individual to figure out how to progress.  I have found that I actually enjoy mentoring and coaching and my teams are consistently recognized as some of the top teams in the company.

So, whether you plan on transitioning to management like I have or enjoy the "real" work too much to move away from an individual role, I'm sure to cover topics that can help you learn and grow.

So, subscribe in your podcast player of choice and head over to ManagingACareer.com where you can access our community, submit show topic ideas, or use any of the other career development resources you'll find there.

It's YOUR career and the only person who can take control of your career is you; no one else will do it for you.  So, go out there and take charge of your career.

For Managing A Career, this has been Layne Robinson.
