Cultivating The Spirit to Work
Influencing Hope, Courage, Action and Belief

Overview

"The only power we have as cultivators of other's spirits
is to create environments in which individuals are able to grow, change and blossom from the inside out,
according to their own ripeness.
The good news in all this, of course, is that
everyone is ripe for something!"
-Denise Bissonnette

In this captivating presentation, Denise Bissonnette presents a unique and inspiring framework around the critical and often elusive issues of motivation and self-esteem, as they relate to preparing people for the work of the world. This workshop gives employment professionals with methods and insights for strengthening an applicant’s motivation and spirit to work.

Focus will be in the following areas:

• Assessing the hopes, dreams, talents and basic human needs for people on levels of skill and ability.
• Examining the beliefs, perceptions, assumptions and perspective that job seekers hold toward working.
• Increasing a person’s ability to take calculated risks and learn from feedback.
• Enabling people to move beyond perceived and real barriers to employment.
• Helping people through the necessary transitions which accompany change.
• Exploring avenues for assisting people in developing positive habits and intelligent plans for putting their intentions into action!

In this seminar, participants will gain a heightened respect for their clients, practical and effective tools for immediate use, and a revitalized vision for their own possibilities in their work.
