First Meetings of Three-Day Intensive Skills Course complete
We have completed our first group meetings, and eight attendees have learned their RIASEC codes for the Self-Directed Search, and have looked at a few of the jobs typically aligned with those codes.
One of the primary goals of this course is to introduce these concepts to the group and provide a foundation for moving forward with this information and additional information received from assessments administered prior to our meeting.
In our next weekend meeting, we will begin to share our findings and discuss the types of jobs or activities from our past that were rewarding and meaningful. Each participant will receive valuable feedback from their peers in the group and well as insights I can provide from my experience with the temperaments that seem to suit certain activities.
One of my hopes for all of the attendees is that the core information they receive about themselves in this process will help them to move forward with either a new career or with a new attitude and sense of understanding in their current life focus.

What We're Doing This Weekend at CDA
This weekend at Career Design, we are hosting the second Three-day Intensive Skills Focus Workshop. This program is designed to provide short-term clients with a quick-hitting (and reduced cost) introduction to my comprehensive skills identification and assessment services.
Due to the economy, we are pleased to offer this option, which allows people on a fixed income or in career transition to experience some of the benefits of a longer, in-depth re-careering process.
This weekend, we have a full class, and hope you will contact us to learn more, or visit our website at http://www.careerdesignassociates.com
These courses begin to arm you with the critical information to thrive in this new career chaos and uncertainty. Essentially, this special workshop comprises one-day of completing CDA Career Design Profile™ assessments and two-days of in-depth skills identification and career focus. I have selected the most helpful exercises and activities relating to the 4-step Career Design process and carefully compressed the usual 40 hours (16 weeks) Skills Group Series Workshop down to 24 hours over 3 days.
The short video below discusses my attitude regarding finding your passion.
