Single-Session Coaching: One-time session (30-45 minutes) focused on a particular issue of interest or concern in your career or job search; $100.00.
Each of the following packages includes the assessment tool (about 15 minutes to complete online) AND a single-session interpretation consultation with me to discuss your results and how you can use them effectively (30-45 minutes):
Career Planning: This profile will help you find your career direction by assisting you to define your occupational/behavioral style. It helps you make and plan career changes and decisions, including clarifying job expectations and analyzing your "ideal job."
Executive: The Executive profile is designed to help you attain a greater knowledge of yourself and others. Your personalized report includes analysis of your strengths and value to the organization. You can develop action plans to build on your strengths and overcome factors that might limit your success.
Management-Staff: Whether you are taking it as a manager or an employee, this profile can help you assess your strengths and possible limitations and develop an action plan to increase your productivity.
Sales: Success in selling is more challenging today than ever and requires a higher level of skill. The profile gives you a broad understanding of your natural sales style. It analyzes what you prefer to sell, how you handle presentations, and how you close and service accounts.
Interviewing - General & Sales: This profile comes in two versions and enhances the interviewing process. It assists you to prepare for interviews by considering your ideal work environment and value to the organization, as well as relevant interview questions.
Personal Interests, Attitudes & Values: What is it that causes you to move into action? What are the drivers of
your behavior? What activities, careers and conversations inspire a
"passion" within you, causing you to want to become involved? The Personal Interests, Attitudes and Values assessment measures the why of your actions, leading to an understanding of what drives your behavior and the attitudes that move you into action.
