Training and education is another means of increasing your success. Visit my Virtual Campus and training company website http://www.sunnymore.com I offer training courses to corporations and individuals in the following: Management, including a Certified Professional Manager training program that is college accredited, Sales Training, Customer Service Training, Leadership, Teamwork, Time Management, Diversity, and skills Development for workforce readiness.

Behavioral Assessments are a quick means of learning about yourself and others and when properly explained enable you communicate more effectively. Top level executives are put through a battery of behavrioral evaluations and testing before they receive a written job offer. Become familiar with them now and put them to use for yourself.

Together we will identify your competencies, discover your hidden assets, and rediscover your desires. From there we will identify existing opportunities or plan to create new ones. Your awareness and your perceptions of the world will increase enabling you to identify your own unique opportunities and continually capitalize on them. Your comfort level with change will continue to increase as you gain confidence in your ability to make successful transitions both now and in the future.

True Self-knowledge and the understanding of your own behavior is your foundation. Shortcuts to that knowledge includes assessments that uncover your true interests, attitudes and values, how you communicate, identify your leadership qualities, assess your coping and stress abilities, rate your time management skills, identify your role on a team, identify your management competencies and the level you implement them.

When we work on your career planning we initially spend time exploring those kinds of activities that you  1. can't live without, 2. feel passionate about,  3. really enjoy,  4. excel at and want to do for 8 hours a day or more. What we do for a living is the most important aspect of our lives and we frequently define ourselves by it. As you and I continue working together we explore the favorable environments where you will excel and strategize how to get you there. By the end of twelve weeks you will know what you want to do, where you want to do it, and initiate your plan.

What I excel at is identifying those competencies and qualities in people that are being underutilized and underpaid. Frequently, the individual isn't fully aware of their own worth in the marketplace or how they can leverage their talents. 

Many people stay in jobs that are not ideal because they aren't bad enough to leave. Once a job becomes too painful they are motivated to change. When a new job alleviates the pain they stop moving forward. When the motivation to change is positive and the goals are a moving target, they keep moving forward and enjoy continued and greater success.

See if this formula for a successful career makes sense to you:

negative environment + wrong work = no success
negative environment + Right work = limited success
Positive environment + wrong work = limited success
Positive environment + Right work = UNLIMITED SUCCESS
where the environment = (70%workplace+30%home life) and work = what you receive money for^Ó

Because you spend your time focusing on you work and not your career you may find it difficult to gather all the information and tools to develop a strategy by yourself. As your coach, my full time job is staying current with everything related to career development. Ultimately, my goal is to get you on a self perpetuating track that will lead you to unending success, not just to finding the next job.

You will uncover or rediscover your passions and your purpose. You will learn more about yourself and your values. We will focus on your goals and how you can achieve them. We will discuss your ideas, plans, hopes and fears in the changing environment of today and the future. You will find me an attentive listener who sees the advantages of change, a catalyst for action through thought provoking and challenging conversation and a die hard optimist of the future. You will receive the support you need in making decisions and moving forward in spite of negative influences from other people and circumstances in your life. You will become more determined and self-realized, drawing on your own inner wisdom.  My coaching practice is devoted to your personal development with particular emphasis on developing career strategies that get you fast results, discovering, evaluating and enhancing your competencies, finding the job of your dreams, and planning the transition to or from a corporate job and your own business. You will develop the skills necessary to negotiate your employment contract for the best package. You will find today's business easier to understand, begin to excel at navigating the politics of the workplace and will function well as a team player and leader. You will inspire others and become a respected boss.

• Focus on what you want to accomplish and the means will appear^Ó

• Treat everyone as your equal. If someone is 'below' you, you elevate them. If someone is 'above' you, you elevate yourself^Ó  

• Life is not the pursuit of happiness but happiness while pursuing^Ó

• The journey is the destination of life and the journey is now^Ó

• Happiness is a feeling and feelings only exist in the present^Ó

• Life moves in one direction only -- forward^Ó

• Think it, say it, write it, do it^Ó

• Always state things in the positive -- it is the only thing the mind comprehends^Ó

• The reason fear is a bad motivator for success is that you stop moving forward when the fear is eliminated.  A desire to have or be more than you are at present works because you continually see new possibilities^Ó
