WHAT IS IT ?
When Freud was interviewed for a newspaper, he was asked what was necessary for happiness. He answered, "Lieben und Arbeiten". love and work. The area of work has often been neglected by mental health professionals. My unique training and background has evolved into a comprehensive program. My program will provide strategies and techniques for helping deal with the psychological factors underlying career/work issues. It covers career planning and transitions, job adjustment, unemployment, and internal career barriers. I am senstive to all personality issues that normally surface at these times; particularly inertia, issues of readiness, indecision, procrastination, anxiety, fear, and self-esteem.
WHO IS IT FOR ?
My assessment is relevant to all transitions from high shool through retirement and all levels from beginner to CEO.
It is strategically designed to encompass the major dimensions critical for success and satisfaction at work. The results are equally relevant to your home and personal life seeing as how lack of satisfaction can be debilitating.
This comprehensive objective assessment has multiple dimensions, including an extensive background analysis, clinical interviews, self-assessment instruments, standardized psychological tests, and 360 feedback. We integrate the five sources and develop an In-Depth Career/Self-Identity Profile. There is a heavy emphasis on strengths and developmental needs as well as career directions that might be explored for “good fit”. An executive coaching action plan is developed. The Career/Self Identity Profile has implications for resumes, networking, job interviews and ongoing career management. Each assessment is customized to meet the needs of the individual.
The key concepts of the moment are “adaptability” “transferable skills” ‘good fit” and “meaning”. This process is designed to increase your marketability and versatility and to center you.
