Client Testimonial: |
An email we received this month from the VP of Sales in response to a workshop we facilitatated for his team:
"I was thrilled with how it went but was not surprised. I knew that the time to be together would be awesome. Plus, I had total confidence in what you and Jim had planned." |

Book of the Month | |
In his follow-up to the New York Times bestseller What Got You Here Won't Get You There, #1 executive coach Marshall Goldsmith shares the ways in which to get--and keep--our Mojo. Our professional and personal Mojo is impacted by four key factors: identity (who do you think you are?), achievement (what have you done lately?), reputation (who do other people think you are--and what have you've done lately?), and acceptance (what can you change--and when do you need to just "let it go"?). Goldsmith outlines the positive actions leaders must take, with their teams or themselves, to initiate winning streaks and keep them coming. |

As organizations seek new ways to increase success, it might surprise some that employee disengagement costs businesses in the US more than $300 billion each year. Although the figure might be a bit shocking at first, after further consideration it makes perfect sense. The cost of unfocused, unmotivated and unhappy employees takes a ridiculous toll on business. In assessing your own staff, you hope that the majority of your workforce fall outside of that camp. In reality, that is likely not the case. Gallup Management Journal found that more than 2/3 of the workforce is not fully engaged in their work.

We make it easy for you to match the right person to your unique job, team and organizational culture. Our assessments meet all the EEOC validation criteria, per study conducted in 2010.
A study by Highhouse (printed in "Industrial and Organizational Psychology 1, (2008), proved that assessments signficantly improve the predictability of hiring high performance -- 16 to 25 times over that of not utilizing an assessment. The best assessments measure talents/abilities, in addition to the standard personality/motivational elements.
Talent Journey utilizes assessments that measure all the important components mentioned in the Highhouse study and are EEOC validated.

Thank you for supporting our business! |
We are committed to providing you with insightful and relevant leadership information.
We aspire to keep you thinking on the leadership edge, especially about how to optimize and leverage the talent within your organization. Too often talent underperforms because, as leaders, we don't provide enough "maintanence." Just like machines falter without maintanence, so do people.
Great leaders know how to inspire, equip and develop their talent from the time of hire all the way to the day of retire. At Talent Journey, we guide your adventure and help you navigate the sea of potential. Thank you for the opportunity to partner with you on your journey.
Referrals are greatly appreciated.
