At the Crystal-Barkley Corporation, through our Life\Work Design process, we give individuals training in the 'how tos' of this in a very precise manner, and then coach them as they make their desired changes. The process is built on several principles, which dictate the point of view.
Who you are as a person should have more to do with your work decisions than what jobs are available out there;
Everyone is loaded with talents - the task is to access them;
Staying close to your true interests invites success;
Knowledge about who you are and what the truth is about the world of work which interests you is your most important career tool;
