Talent Management & Career Coaching

A New Trend and a New Offering

These self-reflective questions illustrate the concerns of a new kind of employee who wants more than just a pay check for the many hours spent working. These people are called the "New Professionals" and they wish to engage in meaningful work by using their full range of gifts, strengths and talents.

Over the past several years, we at Our Best Work have observed a growing trend among professionals of questioning existing assumptions around success and significance. In response to this emerging need, we are offering the Professional Development Lab (PDL) as a safe, creative and productive place where this healthy process of inquiry and professional renewal can be pursued.

The Professional Development Lab (PDL) is designed to revitalize your career, bringing your gifts and talents into closer alignment with the work you are called to do.

Led and facilitated by Our Best Work consultants:
Michael Lindfield and David Dunnington.

Description:

This two-day PDL Lab is delivered in a retreat-like environment that enables you to temporarily disconnect from the busy world of work and enter a quieter world of reflection, creativity, and active exploration with others. It affords you a valuable opportunity to strengthen the connection between your innermost values and talents and the work you are called to do in the world.

Our goal and promise is to help you take the necessary steps to create a revitalized personal and professional practice. You will discover more about your inherent gifts and talents and how best to bring these to the table in response to real business and social needs. By using innovative tools and techniques, you will reassess career goals, establish appropriate measures of success, and develop career plans that help you move forward with greater clarity, enthusiasm, and confidence.

As a New Professional, you will learn new Life-Work Competencies. By mastering the skills associated with these competencies, you will discover your unique set of talents – that when skillfully applied – infuse your work with a greater sense of purpose, direction, and satisfaction.

Our Best Work has developed a five-step development process known as CIARA (Clarify, Intend, Activate, Reflect, Apply) to help you achieve your desired results. In addition to CIARA, Lab activities include the use of self-analysis and assessment tools, small group dialog, and hands-on learning. Through full participation in this opportunity for active learning, you will be better equipped to connect who you are (your inner life) with what you do (your outer life) to create the fulfilling work-life you desire.
