Reports of CGB System Outcomes

1.Staying in place but researching how to prepare for the future.

Jackie W. reported she was not leaving her company. 

Although she wasn't happy with her present position in sales, she decided to research possibilities right where she'd been working for ten years. 

HR helped her study to take a test for a grade level promotion to the corporate training department.

She was pretty excited about being a "teacher".

2.Working Smarter Not Harder.

Mike Z. came to my class because he was getting poor performance reviews.

He didn’t want to be sitting in my class.

During a break, he asked for more details about the section on working smarter not harder. He made note of additional details for research.

About a month later, Mike sent an email. He got a promotion to warehouse manager. He said it was all about working smarter not harder.

3.Finding Resources to create workplace success

Rae S. stated that he put the networking tips into action and asked for advice from his family and colleagues for how to deal with his overloaded schedule.

He reported:

“It is extremely uplifting to know how to draw upon all the resources available providing us with the help necessary to reach our goals.”

Who is Career Growth Basics?

Hi: I’m Andrea G. Shenkman.

Curiosity has always been a part of who I am, and reading is something I’ve used throughout my life to find answers. I always found the possibilities to move forward.

Here’s a brief outline of my work experiences.

  • Got started in sales where I got stuck in a rut.
  • Networking helped me find a position in marketing which dead ended into a career rut.
  • Transitioned to human resources as a result of a side hustle I did for a friend. 
  • Decided to retire from corporate and focus on family.
  • Found the courage to pursue a psychotherapy degree.
  • Maintained a private counseling practice for 15 years.
  • Got referred to teach a college course when a colleague got sick. Loved it. Stuck with it. Eventually became an official college professor. 
  • Expanded on-campus teaching to online teaching and slowly transitioned to web-based teaching and career counseling and CAREER GROWTH BASICS was born.

Live In The Possibilities is my personal motto. When times have gotten challenging, it’s helped me

  • Hit the pavement to find work
  • Call friends and family to find work
  • Turn on the computer to research the work possibilities.   
  • Stay resilient. 

More details about me can be found HERE.

Remember to Live In The Possibilities.

Andrea
