""Remember, nobody cares about your career as much as you do," Kempczinski said in a recent Instagram video. "You've got to own it, you've got to make things happen for yourself.""
""To be a yes person is way better than to be a no person," he told LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky. "So as those career twists and turns happen, the more that you're seen as someone who's willing to say yes and to go do something, it just means you're gonna get that next call.""
Take full ownership of careers because no one will hand out opportunities. Millions of young people are classified as NEET, increasing the risk of falling behind without proactive effort. Career paths often diverge from early plans, exemplified by a shift from aspiring professional athlete to a three-decade corporate career spanning roles at First Watch, Procter & Gamble, PepsiCo and McDonald's. Embracing uncertainty, cultivating curiosity, and saying yes to assignments—even unglamorous or junior tasks—creates visibility and leads to future opportunities. Being known as someone willing to take on work increases the likelihood of receiving the next career call.
