PEOPLEMAP™ Professional Development Report
(Online Questionnaire)

______________________________________________________________

Ask yourself these questions:

1. Would you like to know what your natural strengths are in life?
2. Would you like to have a personal "map" for getting along with others?
3. Would you like to have a clear understanding of the things that could block your success and a clear roadmap that can help you be successful?

If you are answering yes to these questions, the Peoplemap™ Professional Development Report is your solution. This profile is based on your answers to the seven questions on the Peoplemap™ Questionaire.


This profile provides you with important information on your Primary and Combination Peoplemap™ Type scores. From this information we give you critical information on your natural in-born strengths and what motivates your personality type.

Based on your Peoplemap™ scores, your report provides you a 16–page in–depth analysis consisting of critical information related to your primary type, combination type and what you prefer least at work and home. The report provides specific information related to your strengths, Achilles Heel(s) and developmental opportunities. The skills include addressing issues of conflict, leadership, and how to work effectively with others.

This is a must for anyone who is leading others and seeking to improve him or herself at work and at home. If you are serious about taking an important step in reaching your potential at work, you will find the Peoplemap™ Professional Development Report an invaluable addition to your toolbox.

Transferable Skills Scale ______________________________________________________________

The Transferable Skills Scale is a short assessment designed to identify an individual’s strongest transferable skills. 
It asks users to rate their level of skill on 96 general work tasks, representing the most widely used transferable skills in the world of work. The resulting score helps define their skills levels in eight categories: Analytical, Numerical, Interpersonal, Organizational, Physical, Informational, Communicative and Creative skills. Users then score those items into 8 scales representative of the most common transferable skills sets: Analytical, Numerical, Interpersonal, Organizational, Physical, Informational, Communicative, and Creative. The assessment then guides users to explore jobs that use the transferable skills sets they scored highest in. The TSS is broken into 5 easy steps and takes 20-25 minutes to complete and score.

This is the only researched and validated assessment on the market focused on transferable skills. It can be used as both a career exploration guide and a job search strategy tool

Work Preference Match ______________________________________________________________

Helps people learn their “unwritten rules” about employment, gather essential information for an informed career choice, and find a job they’ll love.

The Work Preference Match (WPM) provides an easy, structured method for identifying potential conflicts between a career explorer’s preferences and the realities of a job. Refined and tested for a decade, the WPM uses “discrepancy analysis”—a side-by-side comparison of one’s needs and preferences to a career. When discrepancies are uncovered, a plan can be created to resolve those differences or to look for other options—perfect for any student, career changers or job seekers, but especially those with special needs or unrealistic goals.

In a concise and easy-to-use format, the WPM first allows individuals to gather and prioritize information about themselves, including work preferences. Then users identify careers of interest and relate them to their preferences. The result is a complete grid of their most important work-related preferences for use in exploring and deciding on careers.

College-to-Career Transition Inventory NEW! ______________________________________________________________

The majority of recent college graduates feel unprepared for the world of work, according to a survey conducted by Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D. These grads felt they lacked sufficient job-hunting skills, emotional intelligence, and an understanding of the world of work and what it takes to succeed. They also claimed to struggle with unrealistic expectations regarding the transition from college to career. This lack of preparation stems from attitudinal barriers and a lack of knowledge or skills that are detrimental to students’ initial job search and ongoing career success.

The College to Career Transition Inventory helps students recognize those potential barriers so that they more successfully enter the world of work. Namely, it helps students pinpoint the false beliefs and potential gaps in knowledge and skills that might prevent them from finding a job or succeeding in their career. It does so by assessing student’s self-assessed knowledge, skills, and attitudes in the following areas crucial to career success:

• Life Skills
• Emotional Intelligence
• Job Search
• Transition to Work
• Career Management

The assessment is self-scoring and self-interpreting and can be completed in 15–20 minutes.

Cost: $24.00 with any Empower Coaching package (see "Personal Development Coaching" in the Packages page)

Cost: $54.00 (Assessment only)
