Employee Development & Training

Creating the Vision of Your Future! ©

In the 21st century, we face extraordinary change on a regular basis, both personally and professionally.  Current research results indicate that the average person will have 15 to 20 different jobs, half of which will be in dramatically different careers, industries, or organizations. In fact, the average employee may experience being "downsized" or "laid off" at least 3 times over the course of their career.  

For many of us, change often is externally imposed, rather than self-directed and our response to change is reactionary, rather than proactive. Individuals who take the initiative to design a career development plan and proactively manage their own career will experience smoother transitions.   

This one-day (6-hour) program provides an opportunity for self-reflection, personal planning, and group discussion.  It’s a day to explore your thoughts, feelings, and ideas about your recent jobs, career, professional growth, and goals for the future. It provides a framework for designing a short and long-term career plan which will stimulate your creativity, enhance your satisfaction, rekindle your enthusiasm, and renew your career vitality.

In this program, you will:

  • Discuss techniques to manage change effectively.

  • Create a personal profile of interests, skills, and values.

  • Assess your work style and lifestyle preferences based upon your
    personal responses to the Meyers Briggs style indicator.

  • Define the vision of your ideal life and work.

  • Evaluate the "fit" of your current job or business and explore strategies to enhance satisfaction.

  • Discuss options to enhance skills, maximize strengths, and foster professional growth.

  • Create a 2 to 5 year career plan to successfully transition into your ideal scenario.  

  • Develop a short-term action plan to start the process.  

This program can be offered as a class with up to 30 participants.  

To discuss how this program could be designed to meet the needs of your organization, the desired outcomes for group participants, and the program costs, email Susan or call her at 734-330-4772.
