Enriching Professional Identity - Self-Study Course

  • Course

Your professional identity is more than your qualifications, your CV, or even your achievements. Your professional identity is your deepest taproot. It’s an expression of your self-worth, not a condition for your self-esteem. It’s who you are when nobody’s watching; it’s the fingerprint you leave on everything that you do.

Testimonials

For me the course has been valuable in several ways. Firstly, it has encouraged and allowed me to really begin to figure out and understand how I am truly of value in my marketplace. This new understanding is taking me beyond knowing my title, my role, my effectiveness, my impact. I am beginning to understand and experience more just how I am valuable, and this has elevated passion and confidence levels within me. Secondly, as a PI mentor I now have a vital ‘product’ with a clear path to take to market that will make a difference for others. Thirdly, the course has provided me with a whole bunch of new colleagues and potential friends from around the globe who I can have fresh conversations with and talk about ideas (and insights)”

Graeme Layzell

“After taking this course on Professional Identity, I feel I can finally begin to open the door to see my self worth and appreciate it with wonder and gladness instead of slamming the door shut and cowering behind it. As a result, I find I am saying Yes and No with clarity, making clear requests, pursuing opportunities with fresh energy and less afraid to charge for my work.”
