Youāre looking to grow professionally. What career assessment tools should you use?
Life purpose is a journey and a career is only part of our personhood. I went through this process many years ago. Found it so important that I wrote a book and produced an online course to take a person step by step through the discovery process. The book and ecourse are called The Quest for Purpose. Www.crgleader.com This includes questions, narrative, journaling and assessments in a roadmap format. Finally we are never done. Discovery is an active tense word.

Youāre looking to grow professionally. What career assessment tools should you use?
We have the number one rated (by participants) personality tool globally called the Personal Style Indicator. Www.crgleader.com I would also suggest our values preference indicator to confirm your motivational values. Two tools I would not do life without. As critical as these assessments are in life and career development it is only one part of the puzzle. Interests, gifts and talents are separate measures
