Bring Your Authentic Self to Work!

Explore how your style preferences influence your work and your life.

How do you feel about your life? If you are like many people today, you may:

Get up every morning without feeling excitement about starting your day. Or maybe, you....
Wake up with a sense of dread about the challenges that today may bring. Or maybe, you.....
Never went to sleep at all because you were ruminating about all of the difficulties you currently face. Or maybe, you.....
Feel that you are good at your job, but you don't really enjoy it. Or maybe, you.....
Think that your work environment is okay, but it just doesn't seem to be a good fit with your style. Or maybe, you....
Are in transition, looking for a new job or career. Or maybe, you......
Always wanted to start your own business, but have no idea how to get started.

Of course, the list of "maybes" could go on and on.

Bring Your Authentic Self to Work!

This webinar series will provide the keys to unlocking your uniqueness in your personal or professional life. The course is designed to help you identify your style preferences so that you can:

Recognize that, if you are unhappy at work, you are NOT crazy! There is a reason why this job situation doesn't really work for you!
Explore ways to bring more of your preferences into your current work or life situation so that you can start being happier today!
Be proactive about using your preferences to design a transition plan to a new job or career.
Consider how your preferences would influence a decision to start your own business, if that is a consideration.

For this program, you will complete an online questionnaire called the "Myers Briggs Type Indicator" (MBTI). The MBTI assessment is based on the work of Carl Jung and was developed by a mother/daughter team, Isabel Briggs Myers and Katharine Briggs, to identify 16 different personality types that help explain differences in how people take in information and make decisions about it. This assessment is a non-judgemental system which looks at the strengths and gifts of individuals. All preferences and personality types are equally valuable and useful.

Based on more than 70 years of research supporting its reliability and validity, the MBTI assessment has been used by millions of people worldwide to gain insight into the normal, healthy differences that are observed in everyday behavior and to open up opportunities for growth and development.

You will be amazed at how closely the results will reflect you and your uniqueness! Once you are aware of your style preferences, you will be able to proactively change your life or work in a way which matches your ideal vision for yourself and your future! Whether you decide to stay in your current job, make a job or career change, or consider self-employment, this webinar series will give you tips and tricks to make your work and your life more enjoyable! In addition, if you are an informal or formal leader on your team or in your organization, you will be able to bring your authentic self to that role as well!

In just four short weeks, you will know how to ensure that your work and your life are designed to help you achieve your ideal vision for the future and experience your wildest dreams!

This program is a pre-requisite course for the "Being an Authentic Leader" webinar series. It is also recommended, but not required, as a pre-requisite for individuals who plan to register for the "Change Your Work, Change Your Life!" program or the "Becoming Your Own Boss" program. You are welcome to take this course prior to or concurrent with the other programs.

Give yourself the tools to ensure that your work and your life match your vision for the future!

Unfortunately, research says that the average American only spends 5% of their work day doing the part of the job they do well and enjoy! Wow....only 5%! What about the other 95%? Some people spend it doing tasks they may be skilled at, but don't enjoy. Or even worse.....doing things they aren't really good at and don't enjoy! For many people, the work itself isn't the problem; the environment just isn't any fun or isn't a good fit with their style.

What about you?

What percentage of your day are you spending doing work you enjoy? If you are like most American's, the percentage is very low. If so, the good news is that, at least you aren't alone!

However, if the percentage for you is more than 50%, then congratulations.... you are way ahead of the rest of the country! But even being dissatisfied for half of your time is way too much, don't you think!

The Program:

The "Bring Your Authentic Self to Work" program provides comprehensive information to support you in understanding how your style preferences can influence your happiness and success on the job, on your team, or in your own business.

Prior to the start of this program, you will go online and complete a very simple questionnaire, based on the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). For this program, you will receive two comprehensive reports:

Personal Impact Report:

Your 24-page Personal Impact Report is designed to help you make use of your results so that you can better understand yourself and others and improve the interactions in your daily life and work. Your report will show you how your personality type is distinct from other types and how it influences the way you perceive, communicate, and interact. This report can help you:

Improve communication and teamwork as you gain awareness of the personality differences you see in others.
Work more effectively with those who may approach problems and decisions very differently than you do.
Navigate your work and personal relationships with more insight and effectiveness.
Understand your preferences for learning and work environments and the activities and work you most enjoy doing.
More successfully manage the everyday conflicts and stresses that work and life may bring.

The Career Report:

This 10-page report applies your results from the assessment to help you identify job families and occupations that are a good fit for your type. This report can help you:

Identify job families, or broad occupational categories, to help get you started in or expand your career search.
Choose a specific job or career.
Select a college major, course of study, or retraining opportunity.
Identify strengths and potential weaknesses of your type for the career search process.
Increase your job satisfaction.
Make a career transition or shift.

Session #3: Cultivating your uniqueness on your team.
In Session #3, you will explore strategies to cultivate your strengths and increase your influence with an contribution to your work team.
Session #4: Exploring career and self-employment options based upon your uniqueness.
