The fact is most people spend more time deciding which style of iPod to buy than they do planning their career path. This programme empowers you to focus on the road ahead.

It’s a highly illuminating one-day workshop for experienced professionals seeking a greater understanding of their personal attributes, career aspirations and employment opportunities. It also teaches people how to convert this knowledge into a tangible plan of action to increase their chances of making the right next move.

“The career coaching service delivered by Fairplace, on behalf of the Arts Council, has been a particular success and the feedback from existing employees as well as those who have left the organisation has been extremely positive.”
Victoria White, Head of Employee Relations,
Arts Council, England.

“At a time when I was unsure what to do next, this workshop really helped me to recognise my strengths and motivations.”
Harry Fisher, Senior Manager

"The Achieving Your Goals workshop combines superb practical tools to make you really understand what is important to you, what skills you do already possess and (most importantly for me) how to use this knowledge to manage your own career successfully. If there is only one workshop that you attend this year - make it this one!"

It’s a process that identifies each person’s unique selling points and most marketable assets, neutralises limiting beliefs, uncovers hidden goals and agendas, equips people with the skills needed to build a robust brand identity for themselves and convert this knowledge into a high impact career plan.

In addition to the personal and professional insights obtained, participants learn the latest, best practice skills in CV writing, interview techniques and career mapping and how else Fairplace can support them throughout the career transition journey.
 

The experience is further heightened by the networking opportunities this forum provides with up to 10 like-minded professionals. All are from compatible backgrounds and market sectors to ensure synergy and maximise value.

What’s the link between Fairplace and modern art?

How do you know if you are looking at the next Jackson Pollock or Damien Hirst? Whether a piece of modern art is worthless or priceless? Just like art moguls, in the world of business you need to be able to spot raw talent and nurture it to reap the rewards!

Which is why, since 2006, Fairplace has been sponsoring dynamic, fledgling, modern artists. It’s an association that brings our brand to life, illustrating our ability to spot and unlock the potential of ‘people with promise’ within a sector or organisation.

Our relationship with art also demonstrates our career transition skills. Our retained art advisor came to us as a senior IT manager working for a leading bank. Seeking new horizons, she dreamed of founding an inspirational modern art gallery. ‘Pie in the sky’ you might think? She now heads up a leading gallery acknowledged world-wide.

The budding artists we sponsor come from all walks of life and are chosen for their originality, vision, technical capability, drive and determination, qualities which our clients’ value in their own people.

Supporting ‘up and coming’ modern artists not only brings the Fairplace philosophy to life, it’s a tangible example of our ability to help people with talent realise their dreams by building a rewarding and satisfying career.
