Working On Purpose (Classroom)
The live online version of Working On Purpose resulted in demand from career advisors and employment agencies for a version that they could deliver directly, in the classroom, to their clients.
This has resulted in the Working On Purpose classroom version that adds some of the experiential activities from the original Implicit Career Search (ICS) workshop to the format delivered in the live-online program. This has resulted in a 2 ½ day workshop (5 modules at 3 hours per) that combines the group activities, that were such a vital component of the original ICS, with the brevity and flexibility of the Working On Purpose on-line version.
Another plus to this format is that facilitators can be trained in 3 days rather than the 10 days it takes to train an ICS practitioner.
Steve makes himself available once a month on zoom for all clients who have participated in any ICS program including Working On Purpose. He also holds another call for group facilitators.
WORKING ON PURPOSE TRAIN THE TRAINER
This program is recommended for anyone in the career counseling field whether you intend to deliver an ICS program or not. Much of what you will take away from the 3 days will be immediately applicable to your current job. The program is, of course, mandatory for those wishing to deliver the program within their agency or business.
Train the Trainer Content:
- Background to The Implicit Career Search Theory
- Learn the difference between facilitation and training
- Practice applying facilitation skills
- Become comfortable delivering each exercise for each module of the workshop
- Learn to deliver to different learning styles (kinesthetic. logical, audio, visual, reading/writing)

Testimonials from Working On Purpose workshops:
“I have found the workshop this week very helpful in bringing forward, backward thinking patterns that impact work, life, focus and attitude. Steve talked about choice viewpoints and becoming the author of our own story, and deciding “Who I want to be before what I want to do.” Yesterday we finished by talking about the present and future self. Today we will be writing our work purpose statements. Good stuff all around!! Thank you very much for recommending this to me. Can you please sign me up for the online Career Hero version?”

“My wins are that I am even more aware of what limiting beliefs are. That’s great…because I need to know what they are in order to change anything for the better. Another win is to have a reflection in my world that there is an actual program (that I am a part of!) that is all about people doing what speaks to them. Like wtf!! Now that is a massive win!”
