Unless you were born knowing what career choice is your passion, making a life decision before you get to college or even in your freshman and sophomore years can be daunting.  Where to begin when there are so many options and opportunities.  Is college even the best decision for you when there are other ways to get the training and grooming you need to feel passionate about a career direction and do the work you love?  And, then there is the decision about what college to attend, let alone what to major in.  No wait, that’s actually backwards. Knowing or identifying what the direction that truly is meant for you FIRST makes the decision to choose a college much easier.

Here is one student who chose her college based on defining her career direction.

“I really feel like doing the career finder activities with you was great for me. I know that this sounds REALLY corny … my passion for film was sort of revitalized (not that it needed much of that, but still) and I'm gonna do everything I can to follow some sort of career involved in the film industry. Thanks so much.”, Devin B, age 18, New Braunfels, TX.

Don’t go it alone. School counselors and even your career center director do not provide the kind of in-depth exploration on a personal level that is needed for you to truly make this critical decision – one that will impact you for many years to come. It’s not that they don’t want to help you.  It’s that they simply do not have the time to devote to each student. And, the price for not doing this work could be spending up to two extra years in college instead of 4 because you had to keep changing majors when you finally learned that the direction you were taking was not what you expected.  Unfortunately, this translates to thousands and thousands of dollars you could have saved by simply knowing in advance and feeling confident in choosing the right college major or identifying the best possible training. And who wants to be in debt for an education that was not productive.  OK, the good news is for less than the price of ONE CLASS, you can define your goals and invest in yourself.  And, it’s fun because it’s all about you.

The Right Career Will Fit You Like a Glove

There is a career that will fit you in a way that may seem unimaginable.  It’s a career that will fill you with excitement and enthusiasm and look forward to every day.  It’s about feeling joy in your ideal work environment, whether it be in an office or in a storefront,  using the talents and skills you were meant to use with the people with whom you are meant to serve.  It’s a combination of every aspect of what makes up your ideal job or work – and it’s always moving and growing.  When it’s the right fit, your career is never static.

Most of us are not trained to choose the right career.  We have no roadmap for making one of life’s most important decisions.  We put less time into deciding what career to choose than we do in choosing the next car or where we will live.  We decide on the college we will attend before we make career decisions even if that college doesn’t offer us what we need to meet our career goals.  Isn’t it worth taking the time to explore who you really are in relation to the world of work and what will ultimately make you happy and fill you with joy.  What other decision is as important as the right career choice.

The Passion to Career System™

Wouldn’t it be amazing to explore career options in a way that supports you to see opportunities meant for you in an entirely new way?  What if you could create a Roadmap that can take you from your first or next career through all the transitions life has to offer you easily and effortlessly?  In five to ten sessions you can.  The following are some of the issues that are covered in the PTCS:

• Review of your dreams – yes the ones that you’ve been putting on the back burner or have been stuck in your head and had no real voice until now.  It’s time to open the door.  After that, we will get around to looking at what you’ve done in the past.  But in this System, the only parts of your past that matter are those that contribute to doing what you love in the future.
• Finally by unleashing all the elements of what make up your most ideal career or job we start to move into new territory.  The PTCS coupled with expert insights from your counselor/coach will allow you to view your possibilities from a completely new perspective.  Eye-opening insights that will lead to many “ah ha” moments that cause breakthroughs in discovering your life purpose and ultimately, your life’s work.
• Using a variety of FUN and interesting ways to access your true preferences (“success leaves clues”) we explore what motivates you to take action – what really drives you.  This is where you begin to build momentum and start to get glimpses of real career options that are just right for you.
• Exploration of real opportunities where you will learn about and talk to folks who are doing the work you may have secretly thought about since you were a kid.
• Finally, you get to define the very NEXT STEP you will take on the journey to doing what you love for life … Completing your Roadmap designed to take you through your career life’s twists and turns and transitions.  We are always works in progress and the journey never ends.  It’s exciting and FUN!
• And here’s the clincher – NO TESTS!  The only “test” we recommend is the Self-Directed Search, which is a quick way to help you get real and/or career job titles after you’ve discovered what might fit.  This tool has been around for years and is not something I developed.  It is simply a resource.  What we do together is personal and individualized for you – one on one, or in a group that is small enough that you will be known, recognized and supported.
