We received this inquiry: Does this workshop identify job titles that fit the strengths, talents and preferences we'll be recognizing?
Please read response from workshop facilitator, Maria Wojtczak:
We have shortened the workshop title and refer to it as the Passions workshop. The actual title is Exploring Your Passion – and Putting it to Work, the key word being exploring. This isn’t something you get done in a day. From the feedback I have received from previous participants, it raises new questions and gets people to think and look at the next phase of their life in a different way. This is work that requires thought, reflection, trial and error and honestly, sometimes, just dumb luck!!
Identifying job titles that fit particular strengths is not the objective for this workshop. The purpose and objectives are to:
- Explore individual desires, strengths, and talents in order to create a vision fueled by passion.
- Identify potential “stuckness”
- Utilize different tools and approaches to identify patterns in our life
- Begin to identify our strengths and talents
- Begin to identify a personal vision
Exploring Your Passion – Putting It To Work
(a special workshop for job seekers)
TUES, MAY 27, 2008 9 AM - 4 PM
Description
"Do you love what you do?" If you're one of those "lucky ones" who can answer a resounding "Yes!" to this question, then this seminar is not for you. But, if you're not, then you've probably asked yourself if there's a job or career out there that's a better match than what you've experienced - one that can be more satisfying and have more meaning in your life - and how you might go about finding it. This workshop is designed to help people who have asked themselves those questions.
Job seekers often limit themselves to what they “have always done” because it was the career that defined them for many years. They tend to lose sight of their many gifts, interests, strengths, and wealth of skills developed through life experience. This workshop utilizes proven tools to help individuals identify their strengths, talents and preferences - what they're basically good at and really enjoy doing, and can prove to be useful in opening up job search options.
