RCL107: Narrative Positioning for Growth

Many professionals treat resumes and personal branding as tools they only need during a job search, but narrative positioning plays a much larger role in how their value, direction, and advancement potential are understood over time.

In this session of RISEUP Career Lab, Nilesh Kataria and Deepak Bhootra explore how professionals can move beyond simply listing skills, responsibilities, and past roles to build a clearer career story around outcomes, growth, and future direction.

The discussion focuses on helping participants understand how their professional narrative shapes perception, visibility, and opportunity, especially when others are trying to assess not only what they have done, but what they may be ready to do next.

Instead of leaving people to interpret their experience on their own, this session introduces ways to communicate value with more clarity, consistency, and intention.

The goal is to help professionals position themselves for stronger opportunities by making their experience easier to understand, trust, and remember.
