WHAT IS THIS?

A tool designed for You! This product is designed as a self-paced approach to support you in:

self actualization taking time out for yourself clarifying your life balance requirements maintaining personal and organizational alignment sustaining personal and professional well-being

This packet walks you through the process of revisiting, reassessing, identifying and/or clarifying what values and choices provide the results and level of influence necessary for personal and professional satisfaction. Even when we are well into our careers with visible signs of success, we find the pursuit of our ideals and goals often give way to daily habits, pressing, urgent expectations of others and ourselves. The constant stresses, demands and crisis in our personal and professional lives often position us well for frustration and burnout.

WHY BOTHER WITH THIS PROCESS?

Maintaining your edge and sphere of control requires a periodic focus on self. This package is designed with you in mind. Stephen Covey calls it sharpening the saw. It is a departure from focusing on requirements for meeting company objectives, however brief, with a focus on YOU, individually and collectively. An opportunity to refresh and revisit your priorities, reconnect with your goal-oriented decisions and create an integrated balance between work and the other interests in your life.

We are constantly engulfed by the enormous acceleration of change, the information flood and fused boundaries of work and other areas of our lives brought on by technological advances. Like many areas of our lives, the workplace has always been full of change - changes in technology, changes in business, and changes in personal needs. Keeping pace means responding to the changes, learning new things, developing new skills, satisfying internal and external customers, as well as struggling to meet the expectations of family, friends and significant others.

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

Think of this tool as your personal coach. The value of a good coach is getting you to remember and redeploy the fundamentals. The richness of the process will depend upon your willingness to put yourself into it. How? By being honest with yourself, by being introspective and open to the thoughts and practices shared in this process and by looking at the values that has made you successful. You will benefit from your efforts.

A STATEMENT OF WELL-BEING

Research has demonstrated that we all derive a greater sense of satisfaction and well-being when we clarify and successfully align our personal direction with the organization's. The organization’s direction can be expressed through the overall manner in which employees work with others to achieve results and make a contribution. The culture is shaped by the combination of the organization's values, corporate objectives, strategies and practices. This product will help you clarify and align your personal goals and objectives with those of your organization.

This product is designed to help you revisit and clarify what's important to you, review the values, mission and vision of your organization, and evolve an intentional "Shared/Aligned Direction". It is organized into three (3) modules: MY ORGANIZATION’S DIRECTION, MY PERSONAL DIRECTION and a OUR DIRECTION - SHARED/ALIGNED DIRECTION. Each module supports you in realizing the personal and professional balance required for well-being.
