"Here’s what no one tells you about becoming senior: the behaviors that got you this far start to break down.

In entry- to mid-level roles, you get praised for things like saying yes to everything, jumping in headfirst, and obsessing over craft. But in a senior role, those behaviors can sometimes backfire, leaving you in search of a new strategy.

To succeed, you’ll have to flip the script on your work habits. In this talk, we’ll cover three paradoxes of senior content roles drives them. We’ll also talk about some of the nuances at play as you adapt — and why organizations need to adapt with you.

Whether you’re in a senior role now or looking to get there soon, this talk will help you remake your mindset, expand your toolkit, and get the career growth you deserve.
