My Future Job Workshop
About Workshop:
My Future Job Workshop help participants gain self-awareness and self-knowledge. Participating in this workshop will help to guide young (teens and young adults) to find satisfaction, stability, and success in what they do for a living. My wish to create workshops around this topic stems from my strong belief that congruence between the personality of an individual (his/her talents) and the environment in which he/she works will bring satisfaction, health, and success to a person who has found a perfect match in this combination. Otherwise, it would be more challenging for a person to find the balance.
In this workshop, I offer high school, college, after elementary school professional guidance & help youth gain self-awareness. In this workshop, I use several methodologies (see Additional Information).
Using LEGO bricks can be one of the self-discovery tools. Some elements of the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Methodology can help job-seekers identify their unsuspected talents, but also can help young people choose a career path that suits their personalities. This is why we use the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methods and materials in other GiftedLab’s workshops too.
(See more about: SEL Peers4Play Workshop with LEGO Bricks). The self-discovery process is provided by me, a certified facilitator of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methods and materials with valuable experience in the business world.
I also use several personality tests and pay close attention to the fact that different career paths will be for different types of personalities. So, I propose to teenagers and young adults different strengths-based assessments in addition as I am a certified Strength Profile Practitioner. At the end of this workshop, your teen/young adult can see with more clarity and self-awareness his/her professional future. This workshop really helps teenagers and young adults think seriously about their future professional life putting their inner strengths into combination with diverse professional options.

GiftedLab ‘s Strengths-Based Approach is about bringing forward transformational Career Counselling and Youth Guidance
+ The methods I use during workshops come from different sources. I will propose the method or methods best adapted to your teen/young adult needs and values.
+ I try to link parents, children, and educators (if possible) because involving parents and other stakeholders of a child’s success is a very important influential aspect in creating supportive networks for the kids and teens. It includes learning in both ways.
