Career Espresso:
5 minutes a day fast-track to success
“It’s never too late to start a new, lifelong habit of daily
learning to get into the best career shape of your life!”
No budget, no time, no training?
In today’s business environment, getting the training you need
is tough. Professional development budgets have been slashed,
meaning it’s difficult to find the money required to attend those
specialised training courses or top conferences enjoyed by
previous generations of procurement and supply professionals.
That’s why it’s time to throw out your old conceptions of training was published on the Procurious blog, with dozens of articles
and adapt to the brave new world – online. It’s about taking
matters into your own hands and going digital for success. The
good news is that in five minutes (about the same time as it takes
you to drink an espresso), you can get the daily information you
need online to keep your career on the fast-track to success.
In 2016, Procurious invited procurement and supply chain
professionals from all around the world to join Career Boot Camp
– a three week, online, career building challenge. A staggering
6,500 visitors logged onto our series of 15 free podcasts, while
nearly 20,000 professionals clicked on one of the many career-
related articles that were published over the three weeks.
Career coaching from the best in the business
The incredible response was driven in part by the star power of
our Boot Camp Career Coaches – influencers including ISM CEO
Tom Derry, cultural diversity expert Dr Tom Verghese, leadership
specialist Sigi Osagie and global procurement broadcaster,
Jon Hansen.
The fantastic range of topics was another drawcard that made
this event buzz online. Our experts covered procurement-
specific podcasts such as “5 sure-fire ways to become a CPO”
and “Unleash your procurement mojo”.
There were also other hot topics, such as networking, getting
ahead on social media, building your personal brand, and
becoming the manager every team wants. The vast amount
of content packed into 15 podcasts continues to attract
professionals both within and outside the procurement and
supply profession.
And that’s just the podcasts! A library of career-boosting content
providing advice from the experts on topics ranging from best-
practice time management to landing your dream job.
Flex your career muscle
Why “Career Boot Camp”? Because the concept of focused
exercise and strength-building directly relates to the message
we want to share here at Procurious. Just like strength training,
only a few minutes a day of professional development makes an
enormous difference to building your career muscle.
But the excitement wasn’t just confined to this three-week period.
Just like an exercise regime, Career Boot Camp was designed to
help procurement and supply professionals start an important,
lifelong habit. Just a few minutes of daily learning can make the
difference between your career standing still, and delivering more
impact through your role.
