The NEW DIRECTION programme is unique in that it has been carefully tailored using research into best practice in career evaluation and transition. It is based on the belief that those who are most satisfied and motivated by their work are in careers that reflect who they really are; careers that reflect their true nature and their real passions; careers that allow them to honour their deeply held values; careers that draw on their strengths and employ their favourite skills.

​

The comprehensive programme is structured to take you on a journey from uncertainty about your present career and not knowing what your next step might be, through to having a clear vision of a career that is absolutely right for you, and an action plan for how to create it. Between each session you will be given interesting and thought provoking exercises and tools to complete at home which we will then discuss at the next session.

Phase 1 - INSIGHT

This phase is all about you finding out vital self-knowledge - laying the foundations to discovering what kind of work would be ideal for you. You get to stand back from the pressures of daily life and get a really good look at yourself. You will gain clarity around your values, personal strengths, interests and passions as well as your work preferences - including your favourite job skills, key work motivators, professional strengths and preferred working organisations and environment. By the end of this phase, you will be completely clear about what you must have in your career to be satisfied and motivated.

​

Phase 2 - IMAGINATION

This phase is a very creative part of the programme when we together generate exciting new career possibilities or life choices of what this could look like. We will then explore the most attractive ideas in some detail and then finally narrow these down to between one and three top possibilities, which will then be explored in INITIATIVE, the final phase of the programme.

​

Phase 3 - INITIATIVE

In this final phase we will investigate the top possibility that was generated in the IMAGINATION phase. We will use a creative and empowering process that lets you turn your vision for an exciting career into a soundly based action plan to make it happen - bridging the gap from current reality to vision.
