Package: Group support

We have worked with groups of people who are all facing similar challenges with their existing career and have found these sessions to be really stimulating and rewarding for all those involved.

The minimum group size we have found works the best is eight and the maximum no more than twelve people.

Our approach, like everything we do, is flexible but the following are typical workshop outlines we have delivered:

Workshop One

The aim of the session is raise awareness of how each participant is ‘anchored’ in their life, how they might consider their future and to ensure their CV’s help them secure interviews.

Career Anchors - objectives

The aim of this one to one session is to work through the Personality Assessment report used in detail with each participant and consider their developmental needs for future career planning along with individual bespoke advice and support if requested.

Typically one or two GMD staff would attend this day and offer a ‘surgery’ service so those who attend and the business they currently work for are not disrupted too much from the day to day activities of running the organisation.

The cost for this would be: £1500 + vat
