Organizational Consulting around Career Development
Working with a colleague, I designed and delivered a career development series targeted to several hundred call center employees in a financial services environment. This program included a half-day workshop designed to clarify personal values and strengths, utilization of assessment instruments and one-on-one follow up coaching. The goal was to help employees determine where they wanted to work within the organization, projecting two-years forward and to identify what additional skills would be recommended for them, given their career goals, i.e., bridging the gap.

Another project was a series of three career enhancement workshops delivered to all levels of workers in a healthcare environment. The workshops covered two basic assessment instruments, resume work for in-house and external resumes, and interviewing skills. Beginning with the reflective process, articulating strengths and practicing interview questions follows the model of working from insight to communicating with others.

Career management, managing one's own professional development, is a skill that each of us must acquire in today's work environment if we are to thrive. We must also be continuous learners to keep pace with the changes in our world of work. As a career professional I am committed to helping institutions promote and individuals acquire these skills to flourish, even in adverse economic times.
