Are you inspired or tired by your job? Given how much time you spend at work, you deserve to be doing something that lifts you up instead of dragging you down.

Diane discusses how to determine what you want out of your career-whether it's a promotion or a new role at a different company-and the various steps you can take to get there. She covers finding mentors, participating in cross-departmental initiatives, and working up to a leadership role.
