Just as a construction project begins with a blueprint, so does the journey of building a successful career. In both, each step forward should be planned and guided by vision, strategy, and willingness to overcome obstacles. Leaders from our sales and marketing teams have shared their insights from lessons learned as they have built their own careers, with the intention of guiding those who follow to help them thrive, wherever their careers may take them. 

Embrace the Power of Asking for Help

Seeking assistance is one of the greatest lessons Duncan, a customer success manager for our enterprise clients, has learned in his career. He advises not to let fear of judgment hold you back from asking for guidance. At Procore, he adds, we foster a culture of support where asking for help is not only accepted but encouraged. Every experience, whether seemingly insignificant or monumental, contributes to your skill set and professional growth. If asking for support or clarity helps you get there, don’t hesitate to ask.

Pursue Your Passions with Purpose

For Jess, a senior manager on our field and executive marketing team, discovering your career path should be a journey fueled by passion and intention. Take the initiative to explore different avenues and engage in activities that resonate with your interests. Volunteering for opportunities and vocalizing your aspirations can get you visibility and support within your organization. Lean into your current role, and identify areas where you can make a meaningful impact. Be prepared to pivot and adapt as your career evolves. 

Cultivate Leadership Qualities

Leadership is not merely a destination but a journey marked by continuous growth and mentorship. To set yourself on the path to a leadership role, Peter, Procore’s associate vice president for our small and medium business sales team, said that you need to not only succeed in your current role with excellence but also demonstrate your capacity to lead and support others. Position yourself as a leader through your actions, contributions, and commitment to excellence.

Harness the Power of Your Brand and Network

Your personal brand and network are invaluable assets in your career. Every interaction shapes your brand, influencing how others perceive and engage with you. Laura, a senior manager on our solutions engineering team, said to step out of your comfort zone and to constantly challenge yourself to learn and grow. Be authentic and showcase your enthusiasm for growth and learning, positioning yourself as a valuable asset to your team and organization. 


Navigating your career requires courage, curiosity, and a steadfast commitment to growth. As you design the blueprint of your career, remember to embrace challenges as opportunities, seek guidance when needed, and stay true to your passions and aspirations. You are the architect of your career. As Brendan, our associate vice president for our Install Base team, says, you have to make your intentions known in the right way that you have a plan for your future; let your team and leaders know, and then work towards it.
