WHAT WE DO

Our goal at Create Your Why is to help you construct, narrate, and voice your own story. We look at career and life as a story and believe individuals need to actively construct their own stories so that they can create a life worth living. If you don’t create your own story, someone else will likely create a story for you. This is problematic because you may end up with a story that does not honor or match your needs, values, interests, beliefs, passion etc… You have the power to change and construct your story such that it honors and best fits who you are and who you want to become. We are here to support and accompany you on this journey.

HOW WE DO IT

We use narrative psychology and storytelling techniques to help individuals, explore, define, and implement their career related needs, values, interests, and aspirations. We have extensive training and experience in using qualitative assessments such as the Career Construction Interview to help individuals explore who they are, where they have been, and where they are going. Schedule a free 15 minute call with Kevin to learn more about yourself.

In today’s world of work it is important that you are able to articulate your skills and story to others. You need to create your own brand, one that is unique that you can use to sell your unique talents and services to potential employers, customers, and clients. Remember, your brand is your story.

We recommend Dr. Kevin Glavin as a speaker and a trainer for Life Designing for Career Construction. Dr. Kevin Glavin was invited by the Japan Industrial Counseling Association in September 2016 to deliver lectures and conduct live demonstrations of the Career Construction Interview at Rissho University, Tokyo. We have since published these demonstrations and lectures in the book: "From Introduction to Practice of Life Design Counseling." This book, and its teaching, are widely read by Japanese career Counselors.

Thank you!!! Thank you!!! At first glance the evaluations looked incredible.

This class changed my life! The digital story telling component of the class was such a profound exercise, and I truly appreciated the opportunity to explore my story and likewise provide the space for others to do the same. I learned so much about myself.

Our brains are hard wired to tell and listen to stories, a legacy from the time when there was only the verbal word to pass down traditions until the invention of the written word. The Career Construction Interview is like setting a caged bird free and for many people, the first time to hear their own stories in their own words in their own voice.

Magical day. As we watch and listen to stories after stories from each other, we also took the time to engage, question, probe and reflect content and feelings to each other. The last day had us focus on our micro-skills, which is the formative and fundamentally important for any coaching or counselling session. Kevin led us to into multiple digital storytelling and gave space for us to the share our stories and had the class flex their micro-skills muscles to derive our career themes. It is also a session where we got to know our colleagues a lot better - from their career direction and themes, contents, motivations, and what made them who they are today. I look forward to deploying these to help my clients.
