Session: The How of the Engineering Career Ladder: Five Essential Foundations for Advancement
Engineering career ladders define the "what”--the skills and behaviors expected at each level–but often leave engineers asking how to get there. Without clear guidance, many find themselves plateauing despite their potential.This workshop introduces The Five Essential Foundations, a holistic framework that integrates both technical and non-technical dimensions of career growth: Purpose, Technical Excellence, Relationships, Leadership, and Self-Advocacy. These foundations help engineers not only grow their capabilities, but also make informed decisions about the direction, pace, and shape of their careers.
Grounded in real-world coaching insights, this session offers engineers a clear and actionable roadmap for navigating career uncertainty—whether they’re considering staff+ roles, leadership paths, or simply seeking more meaning in their work. Attendees will walk away with clarity, strategy, and momentum to assess their current trajectory and take intentional next steps toward influence, fulfillment, and sustainable growth.
Key Takeaways
- Diagnose career plateaus by identifying strengths and gaps across the five foundations.
- Reframe career growth as a long-term strategy–rather than a short-term promotion checklist.
- Identify hidden blockers and untapped areas of potential using the Five Foundations.
- Connect personal development to team and business impact for more strategic influence.
- Build an evolving career narrative that reflects their values, strengths, and aspirations.
