Endorsements for the Pathfinder Career System

Client 1

"The Pathfinder Report is very comprehensive with extremely accurate results. It gave me a tremendous insight with substantial supporting detail on a wide range of criteria that I have used to define my career options and choices. It made me aware of the complexity of career management.

There were two report features I found especially helpful. The Behavioural Traits and the Career Themes were laid out in progressively more detail and in graphical format. Secondly, the report clearly differentiates but relates career interest and career success.

Without the coaching accompanying the report, the messages imbedded in the report might not have been acted upon. I needed the reinforcement and encouragement to make the next practical step. The experience of working with a coach like Shayne has been life changing. The value of the experience is hard to quantify. What is spending the rest of your working life in the right profession worth? Conversely, what is the cost of spending your working life in a career where you are not satisfied?

The experience of working with Shayne has been insightful and has given me the confidence, direction and courage to take action. I am now firmly and happily entrenched as the CFO of a small publicly traded software company, something I should have done a long time ago."

"As a result of knowing you and working with you, I have become a firm believer in the character and career predictor tools that you use. You have allowed me to more firmly believe that each one of us has been given a number of very unique talents and our challenge is to understand what these talents are and use them to be personally/professionally more effective and to help make society a better place for everyone. We are each challenged to make a difference and not just to be another "nobody".

The Pathfinder Career System has enabled me to better understand my talents, work on developing them further and strive for new heights that I was not sure that I could attain.

I still have a lot more work to do with the Pathfinder Career System, but changes have already occurred. One of the results of this process has allowed me to articulate and to more clearly focus my consulting career to allow me to work in areas that I am more effective and therefore, offer more benefit to my clients.

One of the side benefits of this new focus is I am now more confident at charging a higher rate to these clients.

I am looking forward at working more on the benefits of the Pathfinder Career System and to further hone my skills. My challenge is for me to continue to learn and have society benefit from that progress.

Thank you for exposing me to this excellent career learning system and your encouragement for me to continually learn and move forward."

"The Pathfinder Career System was a very revealing survey. Initially I was very surprised by the results I received. The ratings seemed somewhat different than what I would have predicted. Once Shayne got me into the analysis of the report, he carefully showed me, using everyday examples how the report displayed my true Behavioural Traits. What I really appreciated was a third party view of me; what I believe I am and how others see me based on the Pathfinder Report interpretation.

The Pathfinder report helped me to see my strengths and weaknesses (or Opportunities) that I can work to improve upon. If I am to build better relationships with people in all areas of my life, and attempt to achieve certain goals that I have for myself then this Career system can help to achieve a better me. What a great challenge for anyone!!

Another very rewarding part was the Career Interest Report. It was very enlightening as it opened up an analysis I have never seen before; comparing my Behaviour Traits and aligning them with career options for which I would be best suited.

The Pathfinder Report provides a challenge to pursue a better balance in my life and help me to understand why I thrive in certain situations and not in others. Since the Pathfinder results were different than what I am presently doing, it challenged me to rethink my career options.

Shayne's analysis was thorough, very accurate and overall very effective. Thanks for offering it to me. I appreciate how much you cared about me to see that it would be a valuable tool for my development.

I have already recommended this to other executive members of my family business.

The Pathfinder Career System is beneficial for anyone who wants to know themselves better both in the Business World and in their own Personal Life."

"Oh that I had the opportunity to do this program many years ago.

There is no doubt that I would be following a very different career and that my approach to what ever I do would be very different.

What the Pathfinder gave me was an opportunity (sadly much belated) to truly understand my career strengths and restraints and those events in my life that have shaped who I am today. By digging into these and recognizing their impact I am now in a far better position to make good choices about my future.

But perhaps the greatest part of was the coaching. Done with amazing patience and understanding and clearly focused on ensuring that those barriers that had for so long stood in my way were removed (with tools to do so) and that my strengths, too often minimized were recognized and became a focus of my future action planning

I have recommended Pathfinder to many of my friends. The younger the better so that they can get the full benefit of  the introspection, acceptance of the strengths ahead of the weakness and a clear blue print for moving forward to a successful future based on what they would be best at. Not what society or family would try to dictate."
