Finding a job right now is a challenge I’d like to help you meet.
Whether you’re looking for the job of your dreams or just trying to survive in this economy, please join me for a day of discovery and insight, a day for you to explore your own mindset and how it impacts you at this critical time in your life...while you boost your career prospects.
I’m Dennis Stauffer and I study what makes people adaptable and flexible; what enables them to adjust to changing circumstances; what helps them to innovate and improvise; what makes them effective and successful. In other words, the skills we most need when we face major challenges in our lives—like finding a new job or career.
Are you fully leveraging your career potential?
When we are in an important life transition, the best predictor of our success is our personal mindset. That is to say, how we think about that challenge. Not only how optimistic we are, or how persistent, or how we gain emotional support from those around us. Those things are important, but they are determined by more fundamental assumptions and beliefs that we hold about how the world works. These underlying mental models are often invisible and unexamined. Yet they can have a profound impact on our ability to regain our footing, to adapt and prevail in challenging times.
Everything we cover will focus on one very pragmatic objective: getting you re-employed in a fulfilling new job or enterprise, smoothly, happily and quickly. Our day together will be hands-on and practical, with not just important concepts, but important applications —strategies you can begin using immediately in your job search and in your life.
Together we’ll investigate :
- Why changing your thinking may be more important than changing our job.
- The biggest mistakes you can make during a time of transition and uncertainty.
- When having a sense of urgency can become a handicap.
- How experience and expertise often make transitions more difficult.
In this intensive interactive workshop, you will :
- Discover research-based insights into how our mental models can enhance (or hamper) a successful career transition.
- Gain perspective on your emotional state and renew your personal motivation and resourcefulness.
- Pragmatically assess your career situation and the opportunities it offers.
- Identify and explore a range of potential career paths.
- Explore some powerful tools and techniques to enhance your adaptability, flexibility and marketability, in any field, at any level.
- Develop a strategy that will get you where you want to go, faster and more reliably.
This is not about networking or writing a résumé or online placement services. It’s not a pep talk on personal motivation. It’s about a fundamental assessment of how you are approaching this change in your life, and how to do that most effectively.
