Dear Subscriber,
Can you believe it, we're fast approaching the end of the year! This is typically the time we're required to complete self-assessments for corporate performance reviews. I'd like to encourage you to take your time in the process. It's a great time for reflecting on ourselves, our work, and our business. Through this newsletter and the accompanying Website, you have access to practical advice, tools, and insights on assessments. As always, I look forward to collaborating with you, so please don't hesitate to contact Kate.
Wishing you personal growth and every success

Tools: Using SWOT for Self Assessment
Use the time-tested template to conduct your own SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) assessment to help you achieve your personal/professional goals. For example, if you are currently unemployed or considering a transition, you are preparing for interviews and interviewing as often as you can.
