In today’s workplace, opportunity doesn’t always come with a clear on-ramp. Entire industries are shrinking, DEI progress is being rolled back, and AI is reshaping roles overnight. For many professionals, the result is a career that feels stalled, It's like standing on the shoulder of a freeway, waiting for a chance to merge.
