Career Development for Women
We deliver our following Career Development services via workshops and/or coaching sessions, both in person or via electronic media:
We explore the issues and challenges women can come across in their careers. The session provides suggestions that encourage women to look at how they can progress well in their careers, while often managing multiple roles outside of their work environment:
- Strategies to progress your career
- Challenges, issues and barriers facing women
- Solutions to overcoming issues
- Work/life balance
- Ways your employer can assist you to progress
- Strengths – those skills which you are good at and enjoy using
- Values – the beliefs and motivators that provide you with purpose and meaning
- Work interests
- Job satisfaction and enjoyment
- Achievements – how do you make a difference to your organisation
- Development needs and goals
- Learning needs and plans
- Internal and external career options
- Your brand and reputation
- 360 feedback and why this is important
- Networking for success
- Work/career aspirations that you want to pursue
- Industry/sector and organisation preferences
- Managing your career
A selection of comments from workshop attendees is here.
Workshops: Are offered as either 4 or 6 hours. The longer session provides more time for group interaction which participants see as a very valuable part of the workshops.
We offer an optional extension to our Career Development workshops – our “Financially Fit and Healthy” presentation. Overseas studies have shown that there is a strong link between career development and personal financial security.
It has been suggested that an individual’s focus and productivity, and thus their career, can be impacted by concerns about their personal financial circumstances. This is no reflection on the individual, but rather, it is a statement about the lack of basic financial education publically available. There is an increased interest, by employers, in providing some basic financial literacy awareness as they appreciate the positive impact for both the employing organisation and the staff member.
This presentation is by Craig Wylie, a Principal of C2 Consulting and an Authorised Financial Adviser. He, and C2 Consulting, are independent of any investment or insurance product providers. More information here. An additional 2 hours is added to the workshop if this option is selected. Alternatively, we can tailor a shorter presentation to suit the attendees.
Coaching : Is on an hourly basis with the number of hours dependent on individual requirements.
