If your career feels like rinse and repeat, this session gives you a path to break the loop. You will reframe your career as a series of experiments, not a ladder, and learn how to turn “lateral” moves into strategic momentum. 

Hannah Ajikawo walks through a practical reflection framework to decide who you want to be, surface skills you are underusing, and redefine success around outcomes you drive rather than titles you hold. 

You will see how to build meaning where you are by asking better questions, mapping hidden stakeholders, creating value across functions, and designing your own operating rules, so progress becomes intentional instead of accidental.

‍

• How to replace the linear ladder mindset with an experiment plan that includes intentional lateral moves, short learning loops, and clear criteria for when to pivot, so your trajectory is driven by impact instead of job titles.
• Learn to run a simple self-audit to identify underused strengths, collect “receipts” of wins, and translate them into visible projects that expand your scope, increase leverage, and make you harder to ignore inside your company.
• Implement a personal operating system that sets your rules for time, focus, and collaboration, including a stakeholder map, honest metrics that kill “hopium,” and weekly execution habits that move you toward the role you actually want.
