What clients are saying
“After taking this course on Professional Identity, I feel I can finally begin to open the door to see my self worth and appreciate it with wonder and gladness instead of slamming the door shut and cowering behind it. As a result, I find I am saying Yes and No with clarity, making clear requests, pursuing opportunities with fresh energy and less afraid to charge for my work.” Elizabeth Anderson
“This course changed everything for me, by kickstarting my facilitating/coaching and finally making ripples. The emphasis on self-worth is a game-changer.” Frédéric Bergugnat
“For me the course has been valuable in several ways. Firstly, it has encouraged and allowed me to really begin to figure out and understand how I am truly of value in my marketplace. This new understanding is taking me beyond knowing my title, my role, my effectiveness, my impact. I am beginning to understand and experience more just how I am valuable, and this has elevated passion and confidence levels within me. Secondly, as a PI mentor I now have a vital ‘product’ with a clear path to take to market that will make a difference for others. Thirdly, the course has provided me with a whole bunch of new colleagues and potential friends from around the globe who I can have fresh conversations with and talk about ideas (and insights)” Graeme Layzell
“Immediate benefits in communicating my value to others. Being rooted in strengths, self-worth, & discovery really has a building effect… an enjoyable path to professional identity.” Melissa Wall
Why this certification
As someone who supports the career development of others, you need to know how to help people unlock their full potential. Professional identity development is a revolutionary approach that complements all career development strategies, including personality assessments.
Professional identity is about how you see yourself and how others see you. It’s not just your job title, or qualifications or accomplishments. It’s the fingerprint you leave on everything that you do.
Most people in career transition don’t realize they have permission to define themselves on their terms. The only way they can learn how to do this is with the help of a trained guide who can be their mirror.
Your ability to lead people through identity discovery and definition is a transformative process. It will forever unlock the way they see and think about their self-worth as well as who they are in their career.
