02 Planning and Progressing your Career

Assessing and Progressing your Career

This program helps people work out what their current skill set is, what the next steps in their career might be, and to formulate a practical action plan to move forward in their career. It also includes built-in time for self-reflection and internal contemplation. The tools are very practical and have been proven in many different scenarios from non-management staff to executives.

This program includes a psychometric assessment to assess participants’ personal Values and Motives (the GeneSys Values and Motives Indicator), as well as the tools to assess their current skills base and to work out their key criteria for what they are looking for in a future role. It also helps them gain insights into what they’re working for, and some of the reasons why. Participants are given a structured framework that can be continued after the course.

This training program will:

  • Help participants assess what they want and need in their current/future career
  • Includes a Values and Motives Indicator psychometric assessment
  • Can also include the Occupational Interest Profile + assessment, if participants are looking for a whole new career direction
  • Help participants get clear on their technical, transferable and personal skills
  • Identify skills gaps participants may have, and discuss a possible plan to bridge those gaps
  • Get participants working on a pro-active, practical career and job search plan
  • Help participants set a career goal or direction and take practical action in that direction, towards that career goal
  • Provide tools and accountability to help participants get into action to achieve their career aspirations

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

Giving and Receiving Feedback

"As a result of this program, previously chronic under-performers are now performing satisfactorily, managers are happier, and we’re meeting KPIs above and beyond what we were - especially in areas like our performance management appraisal targets. I have managers – happily - doing things like HR plans, which I have been trying to get them to do for 3 years!"

"Southern Cross provided a variety of training presenters and facilitators - across a range of age groups, demographics and genders. Southern Cross were tasked with inspiring staff to better engage with an existing performance development plan process. This is evidenced by managers now being well equipped to have productive and challenging conversations with their teams."

Coaching Culture Leadership – Speaker Engagement – Chairman of CEO Institute Syndicates

I had Simon speak to my syndicates about the whole neuroscience perspective and how it relates to self-development, leadership skill sets and CEO performance. He was an excellent presenter receiving very high evaluations from all participants. His approach was practical and yet introduced members to neuroscience and its usefulness in understanding leadership development and I strongly recommend him to your chairs in the Sydney area. He also addressed the coaching role and the part it can play in personal development and team building. He also engaged with me fully prior to the sessions to make sure he came in at the right level to meet my members needs. I wholeheartedly recommend him to you and to your Chairmen.

Michael Powell, Chairman, CEO Institute Syndicates, Griffith University
