Career Empowerment
Coaching provides a sounding board that can help you pinpoint what you really want and a support system to get there.
Whether you own a business or are employed at an organization – dynamic, fast-paced, demanding, and highly competitive are a few adjectives that describe the current marketplace. From bottom to top, demands for better performance, productivity, and leadership have never been higher. On the employee side of the equation, the world of work is now about variety, change, and matching skills and interests with market needs – you have a choice. Have you evolved to meet the challenges of the new work paradigm?

What Makes You Tick?
Do you know your style for influencing others, your natural communication style? How do you make decisions? Are you serious about self-development? Knowing your blind spots? The biggest mistakes other people can make with you? Learn about you in this workshop.
This course includes the completion of an individual Birkman® assessment and a one-on-one feedback session before the group session. In the group session, we review individual and group results to increase awareness around occupational interests, behavioral strengths, behavioral needs from others and the environment, and possible stress triggers when those needs are not met.
Differentiate or Disintegrate: How to Use Your Personal Brand to Get Ahead
Does your internal B.R.A.N.D. match your external image? Do you know when you are “off” B.R.A.N.D. and how to get back on track? Are you afraid to let people know who you really are? If you don’t know the answers to these questions, you may be missing out on how your uniqueness can differentiate you as a valuable asset to an organization as well as help your long-term career strategy. By getting in touch with who you are, and truly knowing what makes you different, you will be able to leverage that difference in the marketplace. YOU are your richest asset. Discover how you can leverage your talents to further your career and/or business.
Find Your Why & Connect to Your Career Vision
Do you like your job yet you’re not sure what’s next? Do you want to grow your career? Do you want to recognize a dead-end job before you get into it? Do you want to know how to get past people who don’t take you seriously? This time of your life is meant for self-discovery, redefining what is important to you while charting your path to success and fulfillment. You can have the career you want and be successful doing it. You just need the tools to help you get there. This workshop helps you to identify the steps you need to take to create a future of your choice. It’s all about putting you in the driver’s seat of your career. It’s not about the mechanics of getting a job. Nor is it about “fitting in” or doing what other people want you to do. It’s about acknowledging what is important to you and assisting you to get where you want to be.
