Hello again, in this final presentation we'll review the outcomes of the Career Development Lab activities in course two. The overall direction of our CDL workouts hasn't change in this course. Very much like in course one, we tried to keep you busy by collecting and analyzing job related data, developing and evaluating required skills, and enhancing your decision support system for professional growth. At the same time, we refocused CDL workouts on developing self-coaching tools. The theme of self-coaching is central for career brand development. Because there will only be one person to continuously and tirelessly lead you to career success. And this person is you. WIthout some preparation and proper tools, self-coaching is not easy to sustain. But before we begin, we should mention that we are not advising against working with a professional coach or a mentor. According to the International Coach Federation, professional coaching brings many wonderful benefits which include fresh perspectives on personal challenges, enhanced decision-making skills, greater interpersonal effectiveness and increased confidence. Those who undertake coaching usually report appreciable improvements in productivity, satisfaction with life and work, and the attainment of relevant goals. The only problem is that high quality professional coaching is a limited and expensive resource. To overcome challenges of self-coaching, we initiated a conversation about self-developmental instruments. The tools that we introduced during course two are based on many templates and worksheets that we had previously used in course one. The other important conversation that we had with you during this course was about self-assessment, and its crucial role for self-development, and building your career brand. In this course, we closely aligned lectures in CDL workouts with the idea of walking you through assessment, self-assessment, and developing superior marketable skills through the use of skill-building tools. As you may recall, in the previous course we asked you to identify your skills portfolio. At that time, we didn't use any tool that would allow us to measure the market value of your skills and their combination. In this course, with the use of a case study, we showed you that when applying for a particular job, an applicant's skills are being measured against certain benchmarks. And by learning about assessment and assessment tools and techniques, you can actually measure your current competitive standing. By learning about self-assessment, you can find how about your true strengths and competency gaps. You can also collect data that is necessary for either showcasing your skills to prospective employers, or conducting a well-informed and directed self developmental work. The results and data needs a good deal of analysis, but this is your data, and by analyzing it, you may better prepare yourself for the marketplace. For example, you can find out where you should spend your professional development time and resources to get better results. You can also set up priorities and specific goals. Instead of saying, I should develop skills, you should be able to identify which particular skills to develop, and to what degree. As an added benefit, by using tools, particularly of the t portfolio, you should be able to accumulate evidence of your mastery in all skill areas relevant to your occupation. The next logical step in acquiring self-coaching tools, is to learn how to showcase your skills. Well do this in the next course, see you soon.
