What random, small decision changed your career? About 10 years ago, I said “yes” to what I thought would be a one-year rotational role on a strategic initiative. That “temporary” project became a formal department and reshaped my career in ways I never expected. It reminded me how one choice can quietly redirect everything. Anyone else have a moment like that?

I showed up at a temp job one Monday with a 1 week assignment and it turned into 21 years and redirected my entire career path. So I am a fan of “why not” and “yes” because you never know!

l had a horrible boss, and was being recruited for a contract that I wasn't crazy about, but I had to leave. Gave a 2 shift notice (I was management), and started the new job, flying 1/2 across the country for the 1st day (was a travel role). 14 years at the company and a new career in an business area I never knew existed. 30 years later still doing it!
