Context

Both in our private and our professional life we need to deal at an ever increasing pace with new challenges and choices that we need to make. The more we can take this process into our own hands, the more satisfying it will be. It is of essentially importance that the choices that we make in our professional life are closely aligned to our values in life in general.

However, there is more to it than just ourselves. We work within an organization and a team which has its own objectives and which takes its own direction.

The challenge is to dovetail as much as possible our personal objectives with those of the organization we work in so as to make them reinforce each other.

Objectives

At the end of this program participants will have made progress in the following areas:

• What is it that I’m looking for as a person in this fase of my life.
• What is essential to me in my professional life?
• What does my current strength weaknesses balance look like?
• What is my organization expecting from me, currently and in the future?
• How can I best meet my professional ambitions?
• How can I make my assets and my ambitions known?
• How can I build upon my strengths to foster my grow?

Approach

This program starts and ends with the current professional situation of each participant: what is currently driving me in my job, how can I align this to the expectations of my organization and how can i find a concrete and practical form for doing so?

We will use the following approaches:

• Getting an insight in your drivers and competences.
• Skill training in asserting your ambitions.
• Building a personal action- and development plan.
• Using peer coaching as a means to deepen each other’s insights.

Participants

This program is indicated for employees of all levels. The training is all the more important for those who work in organizations in which the chances for vertical mobility are limited.
