Keeping up with the latest technology or techniques for doing our work is no small feat. In this talk Madonnalisa will review her career journey in how she went from library systems analyst to product manager for taxonomy and content services.

Along the way you’ll get tips and tricks to stay engaged in your work, how to get outside of your comfort zone, and the timing for which paths you take in your career journey. She will share references and resources to materials that have shaped some of her choices and then open up the conversation for questions.
