Sarah Delicate Training

This 3 part live recording will renew your focus and build your expertise in the art of effective Action / Career Planning.

If your clients do not at some point walk out of your office with a career plan clutched to their chest, then they simply do not have a plan. If the ‘plan’ is only in your files and not pinned to the client’s fridge, then it is your plan, not theirs.

Developing Action Plans / Career Plans is core to Career Development. In our practice, we assist self and clients in analyzing situations, identifying and developing goals, exploring options and alternatives and establishing a plan of action. The plan is co-constructed with clients who are ready and able. Done well, it is a road map that helps the client move from where they are today towards their longer-term goals. It will have short-term goals—those that can be reached within the year —and long-term goals which can be reached in five or fewer years. A good plan can provide a renewed focus for one's life, becoming a source of hopefulness and motivation.

Since these plans are person-centered and person-directed, the plan belongs to the individual using it. The plan becomes the cornerstone of the ongoing relationship with our clients and is the foundation for effective case management.

However, the art of effective action plan is slipping. Technology has brought our field transactional, automated drop-down menus that, if allowed, can impede the action planning process, decrease motivation and even injure the trust relationship.

In this recorded 3-part series, Sarah Delicate will renew our focus and build our expertise in the art of effective Career Action Planning.
