Callings:

My Transformational Consulting Career
Consultant & Facilitator
Career and avocations are a significant part of our lives and when viewed from a spiritual perspective represent an important aspect of our life calling. When our work honors Christ, we bless others and are blessed in return. I have always viewed my consulting work as my “mission” and through the decades have been privileged to impact many lives and organizations in positive ways.
Having provided career transition services for many years, together with my husband and partner at the time we wrote and developed a program to help employees in layoffs transition successfully and achieve their career objectives. Job Search: The Total System, now in the fourth edition, has enabled tens of thousands of individuals in all industries, functions, and organizational levels to achieve better jobs for better pay and better lives.
In more recent years following the sale of our global outplacement brand, I refocused my consulting practice on predictive behavioral assessment not only for career selection, but for talent management (case study) including recruitment, leadership and career development, succession planning, engagement and retention, as well as wellness programs (wellness references). From private equity to global organizations, I have been privileged to impact national and international organizations, leaders and teams to achieve their business and talent goals (organizational references).
Having supported individuals from college graduates to executives and retirees in identifying their ideal careers or avocations, consulted in development of leadership capacity both in for-profit and non-profit organizations, and coached individuals (coaching references) in achievement of life, career and wellness goals, it is my God-given calling to facilitate transformation through my consulting practice.
Envision Your Passion & Purpose to Soar!
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
It is the intersection of passion and purpose which defines one’s calling, and understanding behavioral strengths and imbalances, as well as opportunities for development and growth, provides the motivation and confidence to pursue one’s calling with dedication and persistence. I hope you will find the resources below valuable to identifying and advancing fulfillment of your calling. Through these comprehensive and proven assessment and coaching resources it is my goal to support you in realizing Paul’s admonition to be “transformed by the renewing of your mind” and enable Isaiah’s declaration that through hope in the Lord, you shall “soar on wings”:
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2
“…those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31
May the Lord bless your life and career as He has mine, and many others’ over the years. Whether for you, a family member, friend or colleague, the resources that follow can be a transformational catalyst to soar!
Sincerely,
Sheryl Dawson
