Our goal
Behavior change - see side bar -

Discovery
Individuals often are clear about their limitations, but are often not as clear about their strengths, emerging skills, interests, values, and motivators. Most individuals want to be successful but need to discover who they are first.
Knowledge is the foundation of individual and organizational behavior change.

During DISCOVERY, knowledge is gathered to better understand what you need and want to increase career satisfaction and performance outcomes. Discovery is confirming self-knowledge with external sources and understanding how this knowledge relates to current business and industry trends.

Commitment
COMMITMENT is the partnership established by you, your manager, peer or coach after deciding what is important to increase career satisfaction and performance outcomes. It is analyzing career options, deciding on possible goals, identifying and writing SMART goals, developing a practice plan with clear progress markers.

Commitment is identifying the "value or reward" of achieving behavioral change, along with "speed bumps" that may slow down goal attainment. A support network such as your manager, peer, work group or coach keeps you on "track" and committed to the practice schedule.

Forward Action
During FORWARD ACTION, the commitment plan is activated and the coach or manager’s role is to provide resource support, motivation, progress feedback and re-direction when appropriate. The relationship is a positive energy force that supports and reinforces practice sessions and performance successes.

Your responsibility is to attend the learning sessions, perform the behavior or ask for support when you find yourself "off course." The coach or manager’s responsibility is to provide systematic "discovery" updates to sustain forward action behavior change.

CPS will annually donate a portion of our revenue to career, mentoring or youth programs that positively influence personal and professional growth.

Our goal is always the same: solutions that increase career satisfaction, exceed performance outcomes and positively impact business profitability.
