When Are You Going To Start Doing What You Really Want To Be Doing?
Stop right now!. Take a moment and be really honest with yourself here. Answer the question above... if you aren't doing what you really want to be doing, read on.
Are you one of the many people who are floundering unnecessarily in a job or role or industry that you have no interest in or passion for. Perhaps you lack career direction, or you're not satisfied with your present job. Maybe your current responsibilities are ending and that could offer new opportunity if only you knew how to take advantage of the situation.
Many people just don't know where to begin, or how to change career tracks. If this sounds like you or someone you know, it's time to consult the experts and do something that will make a real difference-- Strategic Career Navigation.
We provide state-of-the-art counsel and coaching, regarding on-going career options and alternative working structures (i.e. entrepreneurship, business start-up, contracting, partnerships, equity ownership, on-line, or off-line opportunities, etcetera) which are available to help make your work AND personal life more rewarding, satisfying, and prosperous.
As trained Behavioural Profilers, we focus a great deal on "FIT". Our coaching model addresses individual core personality traits; behavioural characteristics; motivations; philosophical orientations; current life stage; and areas of interest and passion.
We use this information as a "Map" to identify and brainstorm for different types of work opportunities that best fit your current and future needs, wants and desires.
We supply Leading edge behavioural science techniques and apply them to the challenges of:
1. strategic and successful career planning
2. on-going personal/professional development and
3. creating self-employment opportunities.
The foundation of all of our interventions is the Strategic CAP (Career Assessment + Planning) Session. The cornerstone of this process is the Behavioural Profiling Assessment - an intensive session aimed at identifying and creating an individual career plan.
Each Behavioiral Profiling Assessment is custom designed, based on the presenting needs of the individual. Objective, scientifically validated tests, combined with in-depth background interveiws and discussions provide a structured forum for the resolution of career related challenges and transitions.
Our comprehensive coaching and advising programs combined with our asessment provides the basis for creating objective options, free of organizational pressure, family/parental/spousal influence and or personsal bias.
We help to open opportunities and then create plans to successfully pursue those options in a realistic and timely manner.
We ensure complete understanding of our results by providing extensive verbal and written reports of the processes and outcomes of our interventions.
We offer follow-up services through on-going consultations, personalized coaching, and counselling (individual, family, and or spousal support) as required.
Our focus is to assist clients with implementing recommendations which have been developed during the profiling process.
As professional advisors, counsellors and coaches with extensive experience as business, management and personal development consultants, we provide real solutions and options based on the current realities of the work world.
Our formal background and training in industrial psychology and behavioural science gives us the skills, experience and knowledge to understand the dynamics involved in working with individuals in today's rapidly changing work environment.
