To register interest for future workshops email Heather

The workshop addresses key questions regarding identity - How does career identity grow and develop? How does it impact on career progress? How do we help young people in the process of growing their identity answer the key decision-making questions: what would I like doing? what kind of person am I? where do I fit? This workshop provides useful identity theory, tools that promote identity awareness, case studies and practical conversational processes.

Develop your craft and skills with simple but powerful tools that help your students/clients know themselves better. Learn ways to get their inner information more clearly, and assist them with lifelong skills of self awareness.

The half day workshop process includes power-point, case studies, crayon and paper exercise, group discussion and exercises to explore:

Identity theory –the growth of career identity, its key importance in development and assisting a good start, what it means for all of us, and especially for the young person
Gathering clues about identity- finding out about interests and skills that have meaning, questioning techniques
The bigger picture- What kind of person am I, where do I fit? Using a card sort to help young people with self assessment, followed by a conversational process to help them join the dots between self and possibilities
The Ladder of Inference – What you really need to know (in 6 sentences ) about questioning, a key skill in this process

Workshop fee $95.00 includes a card sort tool, used in the workshop.
