Why Aren't You More Like Me? Why Personal Style and Values are Foundational to Your's and Others' Success in Life

 

Recent research has confirmed that only 2% of individuals will realize their potential without a working knowledge of their personal style. In in this session,  Ken will outline a holistic approach to developing ourselves as professionals, but also provide you a model and frame work to coach and serve others. As a thought leader, Ken will challenge and explain why long-held positions or beliefs in our profession, such as his assertion that style or temperament should NEVER be used to determine a career path.

Introduction

 

This is Dr. Sally Gelardin with Careerwell Tele-Interviews.  Our speaker today, Ken Keis, co-created a beautiful series of assessment strategies and processes through CRG, a Canadian-based firm. He just came out with a new book, Why Aren't You More Like Me? Discover the Secrets to Understanding Yourself and Others, which captures over 30 years of research his firm has developed and complied. I've used his assessments with my students and clients and in workshops for career professionals.  His assessment tools are reliable, having been used with thousands of individuals, and can be applied easily to one's own situation. What's more, they are colorful and fun! Welcome Ken!  Before we start, if you are at your computer, then open the link to Ken's Careerwell WEB page or print the 2-page PDF document at the top of Ken's Careerwell page, because he provided several diagrams that he will refer to during his interview.
