the 9 People You Need in Your Career Squad: How to Build Relationships That Drive Every Breakthrough: 1

The 9 People You Need in Your Career Squad is a practical, deeply personal roadmap to the nine relationships every professional needs, not nine specific people, but nine distinct roles that, when present in your professional life, create the conditions for a career that is not just successful, but genuinely sustainable.Leadership and talent development executive Carolina de Arriba draws on more than twenty years of experience across four countries, from individual contributor to VP at a Fortune Global 500 company, to show you exactly who belongs in your Career Squad, and how to build each relationship with intention, starting now. The nine personas: - The Mentor: who has been where you want to go and will share what they learned- The Coach: who helps you find your own answers, not someone else's- The Role Model: who shows you the path exists before you believe it does- The Sponsor: who says your name in the rooms you haven't been invited into yet- The Connector: who bridges you to worlds you could never reach alone- The Critic: who tells you what everyone else is thinking but won't say- The Trusted Peer: who understands what you're carrying from the inside- The Cheerleader: who believes in you specifically, on the days you can't- The Friend: who reminds you that you are more than your work Each chapter delivers a rich, real story, drawn from Carolina's own career and the careers of the professionals she has coached, alongside a complete playbook for finding, building, and sustaining that relationship at every stage of your career.This is not a book about networking. It is a book about the specific, intentional human infrastructure that makes everything else possible.Whether you are just starting out, navigating a significant transition, or building toward the next level of your career, your squad is the most important investment you will make.The road is better with the right people alongside you. This book shows you exactly who they are - and how to find them.
