Easily! Take courses, cross training internally, get a mentor.

Learn the "business" you are attempting to switch to, and build a case that shows you don't just "take orders" to get results done. Its not easy, since people don't value L&D as a "collaborater" but rather as a resource. If you find otherwise, they do whatever you can to stay with that leader. That's a diamond in the rough. Good luck!

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months.
