Planning for Passion
Do you want to offer your employees a no-nonsense, common sense approach to finding passion in their work? Something your employees can easily understand and readily apply to both their work today and their plans for tomorrow?
In Planning for Passion, I offer a methodology that helps your employees understand what energizes and engages them. By looking at what energizes them – and more importantly, why it does – your employees will gain insights they can use to consciously bring that energy source into their work.
The basis for the structure of this workshop is The Occupational Adventure Guide for Organizations, a passion-based employee development model.
Through a blend of presentation, group interaction, and journaling, by the end of the workshop your employees will understand how to use the model to identify:
- What energizes them most about their current work and explore ways to bring more of that into the picture.
- Areas where their current work is misaligned with what energizes them, and explore ways to address that.
- Potential paths within the organization and specific opportunities that tap into their passion factors (who they are and what lights them up).
Planning for Passion Workshops for Managers
As a manager, you want to get the most of the resources available. That’s as true with your employees as any other resource. Passion is one great way to ensure that those employees are firing on all cyclinders. Employees who are aligned with what energizes and engages them aremore likely to work hard and do it well.
When managers understand the factors that leave their employees feeling engaged in what they do, they can:
- Work with employees to identify opportunities to refine their current work to tap into what energizes them.
- Use those passion factors to identify potential paths within the company that are most likely to energize and engage the employee.
- Identify what kind of passion factors characterize a position so they can incorporate that into the hiring process.
- Help their reports identify how well aligned they are in their current position.
- Maximize the potential of the human resources they have available.
This workshop takes managers through The Occupational Adventure Guide process, giving them the insights and tools they need to consciously bring employee passion into the picture.
