As we turn the calendar, think about a NEW CAREER for a NEW YEAR---a time perhaps to RE-FRAME and REVITALIZE one’s current work, but perhaps a time to RE-BOOT and make a NEW CAREER MOVE. My “CAREER AUDIT & RESUME REVIEW package helps clients re-examine their career & employment options and positions them for other opportunities.
Career ManifestoSteeped in the Behavioral Sciences, Business and the delivery of Human Services
Qualified and have testified as a vocational expert in legal proceedings including workers compensation, personal injury, social security disability, divorce settlement, wrongful death, medical malpractice and related forensic matters.
As a career strategist and vocational expert, I deal with all matters revolving around career management. An good exmaple the individuals I work with is when a woman in Columbus with whom I worked years ago recently contacted me requesting that I do some career work with a young family member. I wound up seeing him and helped him create a Career Action Plan.
These days, many recent college grads are struggling to gain career traction, are in many cases forced to move back in with their parents and need a career re-set consistent with labor market realities.
I can help younger men like described above, and I welcome these kinds of referrals.
May WAS Mental Health Awareness MonthBeing a career strategist and vocational expert, I deal with much more than just matters revolving around career management. The American Psychological Association (APA) declared May as mental health awareness month, and studies suggest that 50% of recent college graduates face mental health challenges. This tells us, in the Pyschology industry, that mental health awareness is a year-round issue.
Causal factors include job insecurity, financial pressures, social isolation and an inability to get career traction.
My practice, the Psychology Resource Group, is equipped to help recent college graduates manage mental health challenges that often arise in their transition from school to work.
Workplace mental health & employee assistance programs (EAPs)I work primarily with individuals, organizations, attorneys and higher ed. institutions for better career and workforce solutions.
The history of workplace mental health in Louisville dates back to a guy named George Perkins who started the first EAP in Louisville many years ago. George initially focused on alcoholism treatment, but his business quickly expanded to address other mental health challenges. I knew George and at one point hired his grand-daughter to work for me.
The Human Development Co., Wayne Corp. and Anthem are among the larger EAP providers in town.
EAP providers can benefit greatly from my career and workforce development services.
This book aims at exploring the profound effects of Covid-19 on people's ways of life at home and at work, and offers strategies and expert advice for 'survival' as the world finds itself in a new reality that has formed by the pandemic. At the very core of Back to a New Normal is the premise that the virus, which continues to infect more than 137 million individuals worldwide and has caused millions of deaths, has also triggered radical changes within individual and organizational levels.
At the same time, it opened opportunities that ignited human ingenuity and tested human adaptation. Taming the pandemic is urgent and essential but it is just the first step. Just as critical, is the need to be better prepared for future pandemics that are sure to occur. Focusing primarily on the latter, the book's chapters follow a how to approach by exposing the severity of Covid-19's impact on the behaviors of people and organizations, and effective ways for managing the pandemic's unfolding consequences with an eye on the future.
For that purpose, we asked a group of experts from the academia and practitioners from various fields to share their know how and experience dealing with the consequences of the pandemic, and offer strategies for coping with its harmful effects. This book follows in that vein.
