Career and Life Planning

Times have changed. Organisations, whether in the public or private sector, if they are to survive and prosper, have to continually react to the rapidly changing environment within which they operate. This means that organisations have to be sufficiently flexible to cope with such changes. This involves frequent job changes, new organisational structures, new patterns of work, retraining and continually up-dating skills. Organisations can no longer promise managers a career for life nor fulfil promotional expectations.

We have developed a number of programmes for our clients. These enable individuals to take responsibility for their own career development by reviewing and planning their future career direction. Below are a few typical examples of programmes we have delivered in the past:

  • Career/Life Planning Workshop: This programme was developed for senior doctors and other clinicians who were frustrated with their present role. It enabled individuals to review their career or their life, change direction or confirm that they were in the right job but needed to develop it in some way. Sample Agenda
  • Career Counselling and Planning: During times of organisational change, we have been approached by executives and senior professionals from a wide range of organisations who want to review their career or their life, plan a change of direction or confirm that they are in the right job/role/organisation. We have been able to provide effective one-to-one career counselling for such individuals.
  • Successful Job-hunting: This programme was developed as part of a support programme for redundant managers. It enabled participants to identify suitable vacancies, produce a powerful CV and develop appropriate interviewee skills. Sample Agenda
