Outcomes Reported by People Who've Used The CGB System.

1.Staying in place and using research to create a path to workplace advancement.

Jackie W. was not happy with her present position in the company. But, she did not want to leave. She’d been with the company for ten years and liked her colleagues.

She decided to work with her HR department to research how she could advance within the company. She took some career assessments and took some tests and earned a grade level promotion into the 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.

A few months later, Mike sent an email. With the help of his boss and the company, he improved his computer skills and developed a work-flow plan for the warehouse. He got a promotion to warehouse manager. Mike said it was all about working smarter, not harder.

3.Finding Resources to create workplace success

Ray S. reported that he used two CGB System ideas to get on his path to workplace success -  networking and planning.

The idea of networking helped him ask for advice from his colleagues and family about how to deal with his overloaded schedule.

Planning was the tool that put into action the information he got. He said the action of creating a document that catalogued his commitments helped him prioritize and organize.

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?

Hello. Welcome to Career Growth Basics.

I've been a curious cat ever since I learned how to read. Reading is what I turn to when I'm looking for answers. This lifelong hobby is a part of who I am; it's how I discover the possibilities.

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 resulted in a career rut.
• Transitioned to human resources as a result of a side hustle I did for a friend. 
• Took a break from corporate to 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.

Remember to Live In The Possibilities.
