Today, employees are increasingly responsible for managing their own careers. While most realize the need to take charge, they often lack a clear sense of how to proceed. Employers, too, are searching for guidance in developing programs that empower people to reach their full potential. The LifePath Workshop is a transformational program that provides clear direction to individuals and the organizations they serve, revitalizing career development and unlocking the power of people.

The LifePath Workshop is uniquely effective in enabling individuals to thoroughly assess their preferences and strengths. Most importantly, it equips participants with powerful tools for identifying and pursuing ‘win-win’ opportunities in a dynamic and challenging world. Feedback from more than 5,000 participants confirms that workshop graduates are able to clearly articulate personal goals and value to the organization. In addition, they can identify and take ownership of appropriate career development opportunities. Moreover, they are often propelled to achieve beyond previously identified levels of potential, further enhancing their contribution to the organization.

The LifePath Workshop combines individual career assessment instruments, small group exercises, systematic written analysis and synthesis, and the power and synergy of full-group interaction with supportive facilitation.

Successful Completion of These Steps: Will Enable You To:

The three-day LifePath Workshop engages participants in a systematic process designed to identify skills, interests, and personality tendencies while uncovering core values and goals. The results of this process are synthesized to create a comprehensive description of the unique patterns of the individual’s essential motivations and strengths. This “Blueprint” becomes a map for lifelong career planning and success.

Participants define their ideal work environment and build the skills they need to implement a career blueprint. They evaluate current roles and future plans in light of a newly created blueprint. Matches and discrepancies are revealed and creative options are brainstormed.

The LifePath Workshop provides participants with the opportunity to learn and practice new techniques designed to promote career success, including networking, informational interviewing and the preparation of targeted “bios”. Each participant develops a written vision of his or her ideal future, along with systematic action plans for realizing goals.
