Lubar Executive Education Podcast
Your Career Is a Business Enterprise—Are You Running It That Way, as Its CEO?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we sit down with Kim Sawyer, the "Career Master", to explore a powerful but often overlooked idea: your career should be managed like a business enterprise.
Kim brings more than 25 years of experience as an entrepreneur, executive, organizational development professional, and coach. He has worked with leaders from organizations such as Continental Airlines, JPMorgan Chase, the BBC, IBM, Chevron, and many high‑growth companies. His work helps executives take ownership of their careers, create meaningful opportunity, and build long‑term success on their own terms.
During our time together, we discuss:
- Why most professionals never think of themselves as the CEO of their own career.
- How viewing your career as a business shifts power, ownership, and opportunity.
- What it really means to define a career value proposition — and why most people get it wrong.
- How executives can articulate the value they bring in resumes, conversations, and interviews.
- Why successful leaders must invest time outside their “day job” to grow their career business.
- How Kim’s Career Mastery Program helps leaders create systems to manage their careers intentionally.
- Why networking often feels transactional — and how reframing it as social capital changes everything.
- How to build long‑term, mutually beneficial professional relationships.
- What to do if you suddenly need help fast and haven’t maintained your network.
Are you a successful executive who feels stuck in your career and not sure what to do about it?
