The Power Within:
Strengths-based Career Counseling
Presenters: Anne Grieves & Svetlana Sereda
Location: Northeastern University | Curry Student Center | Room 440
This workshop is designed for career counselors who are seeking to expand their professional toolbox.
In the workshop you will learn:
About your Top 5 Strengths and how to apply them to make your sessions even more productive
How to use the CliftonStrengths assessment to help your clients leverage their career and job search.
Why Strengths?
People who use their Strengths at work are:
7.8% more productive
6x more likely to be engaged in their jobs
3x more likely to report having an excellent quality of life
6x as likely to do what they do best every day
The benefits of using CliftonStrengths in career counseling are two-fold. First and foremost, an awareness of strengths benefits the counselor in knowing how to leverage his/her dominant strengths in accordance to those of each client. Second, having insights into the client’s strengths will allow the counselor to consider how each of the client’s strengths can be applied to the various steps of the job search process.
The CliftonStrengths assessment looks at how people get things done, influence others, build relationships and process information.
Using this assessment, practitioners will be able to help clients leverage their strengths to identify specific ways to:
Stay motivated to complete necessary job tasks
Communicate effectively as they navigate their job search
Gain confidence to build and leverage necessary relationships
Organize and prioritize information to make great career decisions
In this workshop, you will dive deeper into your own top 5 Strengths to be able to apply them to counseling conversations.
You will learn how to help clients:
Analyze job postings for fit
Identify the company culture & work environment in which they will thrive
Conduct informational interviews through the lens of their Strengths
Craft branding statements and stories for interviews that will give clear evidence past relevant successes connected to their strengths
Manage their challenges through the job search process to not get discouraged
Make intentional career-related decisions
Increase self confidence

You, You Me, You: "Networking Strategies to help your clients leave a lasting impression!
Presenter: Jayne Mattson
Location: Northeastern University | Curry Student Center
As Career Professionals, we know that the definition of networking is about building relationships for information, advice and contacts. There are many articles about how to develop a network, what you need to ask for advice or information, and the importance of building a stronger network. There is an assumption that everyone knows how to build relationships.
Too often however, networkers focus on themselves and what they need, not asking enough questions about their contact.
In Jayne’s recently published book You, You, Me, You, The art of Talking to People, Networking and Building Relationships, she focuses the attention on how to develop relationships first before you even begin to reach out to others for help. Jayne is going to guide us through her concept, so we can help our clients become better relationship builders for a successful career transition.
