PeopleMap™ Training
Marcel Schwantes is a Certified PeopleMap™Trainer available to train your organization and its employees nationwide.
WHAT IS PEOPLEMAP™?
It refers to a brief psychological instrument called the PeopleMap™ Questionnaire co-developed in 1990 by Dr. Michael Lillibridge with colleague Dr. Andy Mathis. Click here to learn more.
The PeopleMap™ Questionnaire is unique in that it is only seven questions, takes five minutes to complete and self-score, and yet has a 95% accuracy rate in measuring four core personality types.
WHAT DO THE PEOPLEMAP™ PROGRAMS DO FOR AN ORGANIZATION?
As “The People Side of the Equation” using the PeopleMap™ System employees:
• Understand their own personality style
• Understand others’ personality styles
and as a result, can work more effectively with others via:
• Customer Service
• Boss-Subordinate Relationships
• Teamwork
• Sales
• Conflict Resolution
• Setting and Achieving Group Goals
• Increased Emotional Intelligence
DOES THE PEOPLEMAP™ TRAINING ACHIEVE SUSTAINED RESULTS?
The answer is a resounding yes! Click here to read about follow-up studies done with over 500 employees. Four major changes were found:
1) Better communication at all levels of the organization.
2) Greater team cohesiveness and team work.
3) More success at resolving conflict between people and preventing conflict before it occurs.
4) Greater job productivity and reduced stress as seen by employees and their supervisors.
As a Certified PeopleMap™ Trainer, Marcel Schwantes will train employees at all levels of the organization on the PeopleMap™ System: upper management, department heads, supervisors, sales, customer service, administrative staff, front line workers, etc. Research indicates that if everyone in an organization, large or small, has the same “people skills” then everyone, not just a few key people, becomes responsible for the goals and success of a company.
The PeopleMap™ training is offered as a one-day or half-day course.

Career Consulting
Personal Career Consulting
_________________________________________________________
Designed to equip transitioning workers of all levels with valuable career
management tools in a tough job market. Organize your job
search, create a powerful resume, interview confidently, tap into the hidden job market, assess and discover career interests or transferable skills (see "Assessments and Inventories" section below), and stay
motivated during your search. Fees are the same as Personal Development Coaching. See the Packages page for options.
Corporate Career Outplacement Services __________________________________________________________________
Intended for organizations who want to prepare transitioning individuals to achieve an effective job search through individual coaching and/or career skill building workshops. This provides a win/win situation for both employer and employee. This is an important exit strategy because the quality of your outplacement service provider affects how your separated employees, your remaining staff, and your community judge your company. See the Packages page under "Career Consulting" for options.
Job Clubs for Churches and Community Agencies ________________________________________________________________ The client for a Job Club is typically a
church, social service agency, job development center, YMCA or
community/faith based organization providing outreach services to the
community. In most
cases, they provide the space for members to meet and hire the services
of a career coach to offer individual/group coaching and workshops. By
the end of each session, members will feel energized, supported,
encouraged and motivated to take on that career change, job search or
next interview. Job clubs also help stave off the depression that
sometimes sets in during a protracted job search. See the Packages page under "Career Consulting" for options.
Members will
also benefit from the exchange of job leads, business cards, resumes,
ideas, and information that occurs in a networking club. It can
energize them and help foster a co-teaching spirit with the coach.
