Futures in Motion: A Partnership in Success

Our work at Futures in Motion, Inc. is based on three principles:

Career satisfaction must be created – it doesn't just happen.
All too often, people view career satisfaction like a card game: If you're dealt the right hand (or job or promotion) you'll be happy. If not, you just have to live with what you've got. At Futures in Motion, Inc., we believe you deserve a career that not only provides you with a living, but also allows you to use your most satisfying skills, interests and personality strengths in a way that aligns with your core values.

Career planning is a process – not a one-shot deal.
Having a career is not like stepping on an escalator and riding to the top. Times change. Business changes. You change. As you work, you gain new skills, more knowledge, broader experience. Sometimes this means that you outgrow your previous career choices. In an increasingly complex, global work environment, you must continually be preparing and planning for new career opportunities.

Developing a successful, effective career strategy is a partnership between Futures in Motion, Inc. and its clients.
The combination of your goals, objectives, talents, strengths and experience with the expertise and knowledge of the Futures in Motion, Inc. staff creates a powerhouse to push your career to new levels or into new directions .

At Futures in Motion, Inc. we use a tested process to get you on track. Here are some scenarios that help clarify our approach:

“I have always been encouraged to pursue certain career options, but I want to be sure these options would be a good fit for me.”

Passion, interest and competence are all important to having a satisfying career. At Futures in Motion, Inc., our first step is to help you assess your interests, personality traits, values, goals, skills and lifestyle preferences . We use a variety of tools and one-to-one coaching to provide this.

“When, I started my career, I never gave much thought to what I'd be doing long-term. I've been in my profession for several years now and wonder if there are other career options for me to consider.”

Too often we make career decisions by chance or by accident instead of a solid base of knowledge about the available options. Futures in Motion, Inc. can connect you with a broad array of resources to expand your awareness of suitable options. This phase of the process helps you expand your horizons and opportunities.

“I feel I've gone as far as I can go in my present position and company. I would like to explore other opportunities, but I don't even know where to begin.”

We can help you get unstuck! The career counselors at Futures in Motion, Inc. will help you look at your background to identify accomplishments from your experience that you can use as leverage for new internal or external positions. In this, phase three of the process, you can evaluate your options, apply decision-making skills and select a direction to focus your planning on. Our personalized approach assures that this is a tailored effort focused on your needs, talents and goals.

"It's been a while since I last engaged in a job search. I need help updating my resume and cover letter and developing effective ways to promote my qualifications and package myself for new opportunities."

When you work with Futures in Motion, Inc. you will receive feedback on how to improve your resume and cover letter based on today's standards. If you choose, on our resume writing experts will create new documents for you. We will also provide instruction on the best way to present your qualifications for maximum exposure.

I have applied for several promotions without success. I would like to figure out how to be more competitive for future opportunities.

It's helpful to get feedback on action plans. We will audit your promotional strategy and suggest areas for improvement.

Does career counseling really help? What results do your clients achieve?

My clients tell me that the exercises, assessments, homework and conversations gave them increased personal insight and a clear roadmap for moving their careers in the right direction. They know themselves better and understand their career options. They also learn how to execute an effective career transition or launch an effective job search. Overall, they feel more confident and in control of their careers.

For example, several clients recently reported getting promotions in their companies and better jobs at another company.
