Control Your Career – Phase 2 – Identity Analysis

Phase 2 of Control Your Career: exploring and articulating who you are through curated assessments and self-reflection. This episode is going to cover one of my favorite topics - Identity Analysis. You will explore and articulate who you are through curated assessments and self-reflection activities to enhance your self-awareness.

In the over 10 years I've been a career coach, there are many resources out there to help people figure out their personality, preferences, and even career paths. I've used quite a few and to be transparent, there are many I haven't used because they don't align with the work I do.

The assessments I recommend in my program are all assessments I've used personally, used with clients, and in some cases have formal training to administer. It is worth noting that I use assessments as a starting point for conversations.

There is no perfect assessment that is going to do everything you want it to do - this is why I use multiple. I've seen the positive impact of combining these assessments together and the conversation and clarity that results has been worth it for my clients.

When you start talking about who you are and making career decisions, there are 4 things that need to be considered - skills, interests, values, and personality.

I have specific activities and resources I use for each of these areas and this episode will speak generally about each one along with assessments and resources I commonly use for each.
