Still looking for your ideal job?
Not sure what kind of work you’re best at doing?
Were former jobs not a good match for your talents?
In today’s world, deciding what career to pursue is an ongoing process. You change, the
economy changes, and you must answer again, “What kind of work am I best suited for?”
The answer to that question need not be a matter of guesswork. A special five-session group process developed by
WIND facilitator Larry Elle allows you to identify your ideal job by uncovering your unique strengths, skills, and
interests. The group uses Self-Assessment, Career Assessments, and a group feedback process to help you identify
your ideal career. The understanding that results from this group work will benefit you throughout your career, and
will speed your return to work. Let this group put you on a path toward greater accomplishment, career success and
financial reward.

CONTENTS - “IDENTIFY YOUR IDEAL CAREER” - Five Sessions of Learning and Discovery
In Session One, we’ll do introductions, review course work, and complete a unique exercise which uses past
accomplishments to identify current career passions and purpose.
In Session Two, we review homework on career interests and discuss the results of the Campbell Assessment.
You will leave knowing the types of work that interest you and your confidence level in performing them.
In Session Three, we review the results of your Myers-Briggs Step II Assessment. You will learn how your
personality can aid your success at work, and what kind of work environment best meets your needs.
In Session Four, we analyze personal and career accomplishments to identify your key job skills. We will also review
results of your Clifton Strengths Finder Assessment to identify your top five areas of strength. Also, between
session four and five each participant will meet with the facilitator to analyze their results.
In Session Five, all assessment results are reviewed and analyzed as a group. We look for patterns that identify
your key strengths and skills (your “career best” areas) and identify occupations that match those areas of strength.
You’ll now be able to say, “I know the occupations where I can succeed and excel.”
COST: This five-session group costs $297.00. It includes a complete workbook, career assessments valued at over
