Cengage Response
10yThanks for your post. The pressure is indeed on. I feel it too. Transforming our company so we can transform education is a big goal. I rely on my yoga practice to help me feel balanced under that kind of pressure. Inside Cengage, I can assure you there is a lot of planning, but we need to do a better job of making it accessible earlier to those who will implement it. With regard to the last part of your note, on career pathing, I hope you will speak with your manager and/or HR Partner about your interests. Sometimes a new opportunity may be outside your immediate team or region, and it could be dependent on your flexibility in terms of moving, or considering a lateral move to pick up a new skill set. I’m thinking particularly of one our our SVPs who has been with Cengage more than 20 years and has held roles in sales, marketing, product, and probably other areas – she’s been here longer than I have! Contact me directly if you would like to network with her. Thanks again.
