Session 2
Session 3
In our first session, you’ll learn about your signature strengths and how they inform the way you show up in work and life.
We’ll review the Clifton Strengths system, then dive into your unique combination of special abilities, and how they relate to your successes and accomplishments so far.
Then we’ll take it further and look at the situations ideally suited to your superpowers, creating an easy framework to quickly figure out which opportunities are a dream job—and which ones could be a nightmare.
When we’re done, you’ll have a plan of action for reviewing your life through the lens of strengths to identify moments when you’ve shined—and when you’ve encountered struggles and overcome them.
Some of the takeaways you’ll receive are a guide to when your strengths can propel you to greatness—and situations to watch out for, and a language analysis of the roles you’re pursuing to optimize your resume and cover letter to get through screening applications.
In our second session, we’ll go through your resume line-by-line, identifying how your strengths have positioned you for success in the roles you’ve held so far.
This deep dive into your work history will focus on identifying the challenges that went unsolved—until you came along—and how your unique abilities were the key to getting over them.
At the end of this session, you’ll understand how your resume reflects your strengths. You’ll also begin to see how your life experiences further validate this, and how to connect the two to create a vivid picture of yourself as an interesting, exciting, and capable colleague.
When we’re done, you’ll understand how your resume reflects your strengths, how your strengths bring your resume to life, and have a plan for illustrating every point on your resume with an interesting, memorable story.
Some of the takeaways you’ll receive include an Impact Storytelling blueprint and a list of keywords and interesting equivalents that will help you satisfy screening apps and delight actual human beings.
In our third and final session, we’ll connect the dots between the accomplishments on your resume, your core strengths, and vivid, memorable stories that create a lasting impression with interviewers.
Through the power of story, your resume will feel like the tip of the iceberg of a fascinating and capable professional, while other candidates’ tend to seem same-old-same-old.
On top of learning which stories to tell, you’ll also learn and practice your delivery, making you a stronger candidate in hiring meetings—and a welcome colleague around the water cooler.
When we’re done, you’ll have a resume and cover letter optimized for the job you’re after, a quiver of compelling stories that support your claims with evidence, and the know-how to repeat this process when you’re ready to reach for the next rung in your career!
