  5. Cardscan will quickly store your contacts online. www.cardscan.com
    Since 80-90% of high-level jobs come from friends and business acquaintances—and from their friends and acquaintances—it just makes good sense to keep track of your contacts. If you're like I was, you have a pile of business cards lying around waiting to be input into Outlook, ACT!, or another database. But who has time to key in all that data? CardScan to the rescue. CardScan has simplified and improved my life immensely. The software resides on my desktop and laptop, and a small scanner reads the cards. In less than 10 seconds I can transfer the data from a business card into the system. By clicking a button on the desktop, my contacts are automatically sync'ed with my master database on the Internet. I can access them from anywhere in the world on any PC with Internet access—and so can my administrative assistant. If you want an easy way to manage your priceless network, Cardscan is the answer.

  6. The Birkman Assessment. We don't hesitate to get diagnostic health tests when they're needed. Give yourself the gift of a career assessment that offers some pleasant surprises and eye-opening insights. The Birkman Method is your career Blood Test, X-ray, CT-Scan, and MRI—all rolled into one painless evaluation.

    According to Bob Lee, Executive Director for the Institute for Applied Management and Law (IAML), "The accuracy is stunning." The report comes in two versions: Preview and Advanced. The Birkman Preview assessment: $125.00. The Birkman Advanced Report for mid-careerists, managers, professionals, and executives: $1150.00 (includes three hours of consulting).

  7. Executive Coaching. Because corporations seldom provide mentors anymore, the latest trend in business is to use a personal coach to advance your career. Tiger Woods does it—why shouldn't you? Coaching can be short-term, focused on one specific issue-a personality conflict, for example. Or coaching can be long-term, over the course of several years. Many of our clients have worked with us for 15+ years through several promotions and career changes. Coaching is priced at $300/hour and can be purchased in any increments.
  8. High School and College Vision. Our friends occasionally ask us to guide their high school and college age children. As a result, we've developed a special program for them: one hour autobiography, two hours of testing feedback (The Birkman Method), and a follow-up hour two weeks later. If you can get a young person heading the right direction early, they can have a wonderful lifetime career. $1450.00.
  9. Career Transition and Job Search. Whether you're initiating a change yourself or being forced out by others, sometimes it's best to move on—and you will succeed twice as fast with professional help. These are full bells-and-whistles programs that include all the services above, plus one-on-one consulting to guide you through the maze to success. Our programs are available in one, three, six, and twelve month increments.
