How Do We Help You Make Informed Decisions and Smart Plans?

Achieving informed and smart decisions involves exploring and analyzing two complementary areas: your “Inner World” (self-awareness and understanding your various dimensions) and the “Outer World” (understanding the job market). See the diagram below.

1. Exploring Your Inner World and Gaining Self-Awareness

We’ll take a journey through three timeframes—past, present, and future—and in each stage, we’ll explore the following:

• Past (Who You Were): We’ll explore your previous professional life, your career path so far, the reasons behind your choices, your satisfaction in different academic and career aspects, your achievements and challenges, recurring patterns (both positive and negative), and the lessons and skills you’ve accumulated.
• Present (Who You Are): We’ll analyze your personality type, core values, acquired general and specialized skills, interests, talents, and capabilities to build a complete picture of who you are today.
• Future (Who You Want to Be): We’ll envision your ideal future, including your dreams, ambitions, and aspirations, along with identifying fears, limiting beliefs, and any tangible or mental constraints. At the same time, we’ll look for resources and opportunities that can help you grow.

For this process, we use several internationally recognized tests and exercises. These assessments will help us narrow down your options to several potential paths. Through discussion and reflection, we will refine these options to 3 or 4 key paths. From there, we’ll move on to the next step—evaluating the Canadian job market for each option to determine which offers the best opportunities for growth.

2. Understanding the Canadian Job Market

To gain insights into the Canadian job market, we gather information on several important aspects:

• Academic pathways and programs offered by Canadian institutions
• Whether the profession is regulated or unregulated, and the relevant institutions and associations
• Income levels for different positions within the field
• Job market forecasts for the next ten years and current job opportunities
• Employment requirements and necessary qualifications
• Skills in demand
• Potential for entrepreneurship and business opportunities

The Outcome of the Process

After analyzing the job market, we’ll create both a primary plan and a secondary plan based on your top choices. For the primary plan, we’ll set short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals to help you gradually move closer to your ideal future.

We also pay attention to other important talents and aspects of your life that may not be fully utilized in your main career path. We’ll explore ways to incorporate these into other areas of your life, such as hobbies, volunteer work, or small businesses, to ensure a sense of fulfillment and self-actualization across all dimensions of your being.

Throughout this process, we’ll provide you with the book Finding Your Element by Ken Robinson, which you can read alongside our consultation sessions. By engaging with the book’s exercises, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your interests and abilities.
