On Monday I released a career discovery special offer:
A complete goal creation home study course on CD-Rom (using a mind map approach as the teaching tool).
Plus a bonus 25 minute coaching session based on the “Vision-Roles-Goals” approach described within the course.
You can get both by placing your order here before the Friday deadline.

You know how some potential career changers stay stuck within fearful imaginary scenarios – and then use that imagined fear to avoid taking action…
… with the result that nothing much changes.
Well, if that sounds like you – and you want to do something about it – then here’s a special offer that can help.
I’ve developed a home study course on CD which takes you from Vision to Roles to Goals in a couple of hours.
The premise is simple – you can put all your goals on a one page map.
Free Career Vision Discovery Session:
Now this course is being sold for $50 (plus package & shipping of around $10) and has everything you need to get started.
But to provide even more value I’m going to include a free 25 minute “Career Vision Discovery” session (using Skype or Internet messenger or phone) if you purchase the CD this week.
(This 25 minute session is worth at least another $60 at my current hourly rates.)
Once you order the course, I’ll contact you on the email address you provide on the order form within 48 hours.
We’ll then arrange a suitable time and date to do the Discovery session.
100% Satisfaction Guaranteed
I’m so confident this process can work for you – that in the event of you not being completely satisfied with the CD and the coaching session, I’ll refund your $50 if you have a PayPal account. (Or a $50 Amazon gift voucher, if you don’t have PayPal).
And you can keep the CD.
Best wishes for (re)discovering your Career Vision.
Here’s the order link.

PS – Remember the offer is only valid for this week as I have limited time in which to offer free sessions.
You qualify as long as your order is placed before midnight Friday 18 July.
Last December I wrote about taking Prof Edgar Schein’s Career Anchors online assessment test that also comes with a downloadable 72 page participant workbook.
(The test is administered and published by Pfeiffer, a division of John Wiley & Sons inc. The test link is here).
Here are 8 comments I want to make after going through the workbook.
1- Use the Participant Workbook (a 480KByte Acrobat PDF file) in conjunction with your test report.
2- A sample career anchors test report is here .
3-The first 25 pages of the workbook describe the 8 career anchors in more detail and focus on the preferred type of work, pay and benefits, growth opportunities and recognition as suggested by the research results.
This is well worth a couple of readings as the subtleties of what anchors you to any given career or path may have escaped your attention.
Also, the case is presented for the internal nature of career anchors in contrast to the processes and stages we often perceive as the external nature of a given career. (The workbook highlights 8 generic career stages believed to be applicable to a large number of organizations and occupations.)
Here’s the first in an occasional series of relatively short posts written from a mentoring perspective.
In other words, this is knowledge I gained from others and have found useful in my life and career.
1- “The Method Of Polite Conversation”
This technique is really simple and can work well when talking to someone else or in small groups (such as a well-run meeting):
While one person is speaking, the other(s) stay silent.
Try it out first with a friend you trust.
