Day 1: Denise’s Top Twelve Employment Tools
In this fast-paced, highly interactive seminar, Denise will share her top twelve employment tools that have been proven effective by thousands of employment counselors and job search trainers throughout North America! Drawing from her vast repertoire of books and publications, including Beyond Traditional Job Development: The Art of Creating Opportunity and Cultivating True Livelihood, Denise has chosen twelve innovative tools which can be used individually or in groups, and with people who are new to or experienced in the job market. The twelve tools draw on themes which include motivation, self-esteem, vocational assessment and the discovery process, tools for career coaching, an innovative approach to customized employment, and engagement of individuals in the process of their own growth and transformation. Don’t miss out on this extraordinary opportunity for a fresh perspective couple with the tools to put it into immediately into practice! See more details.
Day 2: Beyond Traditional Job Development
Employment Professionals are entrusted with the awesome responsibility of bridging the gap between unemployed job seekers and the work available in their communities - yet they are frequently provided with few tools and little guidance for achieving their goals. Based on concepts from her celebrated book of the same title, Beyond Traditional Job Development offers a practical, innovative and proactive approach to job development that challenges the employment professional to look beyond traditional methods for achieving placement results. Recognizing that effective job development is perhaps more an art than a science, this dynamic seminar is a goldmine of proven tips, tools and strategies, delivered with numerous examples and stories that bring the concepts to life. See more details.
Denise Bissonnette is an internationally renowned writer, trainer and keynote speaker. For two decades, she has inspired people and organizations throughout North America to look beyond traditional concepts of career development and to craft livelihoods rooted in the individual "genius" of each person. Denise has authored several publications on creative job development, state of the art job search techniques, the cultivation of the human spirit, and how to "shine" on the job. Her work is a rich tapestry of her talents as a poet, writer, storyteller, teacher and career developer.

Top Twelve - "Even with a few days to process it, I can barely articulate the wealth of knowledge I now have because of the symposium. This workshop is one of the few presentations that provides the audience with concrete tools for every aspect of job development. I recommend it to anyone working in or considering any aspect of the employment or hiring field."
Beyond Traditional Job Development - "I can do my job with more dignity. I'll no longer be looking for employers to do me a favor; but I'll be looking for ways to add value to their companies where there is an unmet need."
