Career Redirect & Transition
“When I first got in touch with Insight to Action, I was in a stagnant job with no hope for advancement. Although I had scattered interests, I wasn’t sure how to focus them and found it hard to zero in on a new career path. Insight to Action helped me identify my personality type and uncover my unique skill set.”
- 30+ university graduate, underemployed and lacking direction after 15 years in the workforce
The average person can expect to change direction as many as 7 times throughout the course of their careers.
Sometimes this change comes from within – the position you have no longer offers meaning or challenge, or no longer fits with your lifestyle needs and circumstance.
Sometimes the world changes around you – the position is no longer needed and you, or your organization seek assistance to help you find a new one.
Insight to Action provides a customized process to meet your changing career requirements. Individuals who are unclear about potential career options can choose to engage in a diagnostic assessment to determine a career path that best suits them in today’s work environment. Individuals who have completed the diagnostic assessment or who have already determined their ideal career target are supported through the process with transition coaching to help achieve their goals.
The process incorporates:
Diagnostic Assessment to determine career direction
- Review objectives and circumstances leading to change.
- Work and life history, education, and achievements
- Scientifically validated psychological assessments of interests, personality preferences, and strengths
- Exercises to stimulate self–awareness of core competencies, values, and compatible work environments.
- Guided research of potential options including information on job opportunities, salary expectations, and educational requirements to help make an informed career decision.
Transition Coaching to support you to achieve your career goal.
- Development of a transition strategy and action plan
- Support through implementation of the plan, which, depending on your situation, may consist of :
- Work search support – resume building, interview skills, and networking
- Assessing suitability for self employment, market strategy consultation, profile creation, referral to additional resources as appropriate
- Strategies to sustain motivation and focus through the emotional challenges of transition
“The coaching process worked wonders for me. At a critical career juncture where I was faced with an important decision, you helped me discern a path that aligns with my unique strengths and interests. Even more, I now feel more fully equipped for my leadership role. I was impressed by your professionalism and found the whole process very worthwhile.”
