The career ladder as we know it has brokenListen here to understand how and why  Conor Lynch was a guest in Season One of Off the Fence with Purpose and since then he has been busy getting his new book “Learn, Earn Own” ready for publication. It has now been published by Amazon Learn Earn Own has been described as an amazing resource for anyone starting a new career, changing course, or looking to kick themselves up the career ladder. Here Conor chats with Jim and Ellen about how the traditional career ladder has broken. And how anyone searching for their first job, planning a career change or launching a side hustle can use his book to design a career that works for them. He has the experienced breaking the mould of the linear career ladder using his assets and brand as a digital entrepreneur, innovator and educator. During this fascinating discussion you will hear stories of career changes, career innovation and career re-invention. Even if you have a settled career and are moving or planning to move up the career ladder in your organisation you will be stimulated by this discussion. As Conor says there is no one career model that suits everyone but there are many opportunities available for career choices. It is not just always about making sudden changes or impulsive decisions, it can be about taking ‘baby’ steps. Neither do you need to move up your career ladder on your own. He has lots to say about collaborative careers and career experiments The conversation here also covers how AI is driving changes in education, academia, career guidance and in the recruitment process. If you are a parent who has experienced the traditional career ladder you will find Conor’s understanding of how your children may approach their careers, a bit of an eye-opener. In the next episode of Off the Fence with Purpose coming later in February the guest is a radio presenter in Dublin whose career has moved in various guises from Ireland to the US, to Crete, the UK and back to Ireland.
