Talent Dynamics Profile Test: ideal Step One in career change

The Talent Dynamics Profile assesses your personality, strengths, productivity, values and behaviour in order to determine which game you should be playing to be more in flow, and why.

Knowing your value means you can concentrate on your strengths and allow others to use their strengths in areas that you are not inspired by, or proficient in.

Talent Dynamics Profile Test PLUS Debrief with a career coach

For a more in-depth understanding of your natural talents and how to apply that understanding as you make career-changing decisions, you are advised to spend time with the IPS Career Coach & Talent Dynamics Performance Consultant, Bev Ryan.

Individual Career Coaching sessions

You can work closely with our Career Coach for one session or a series of sessions to take you through any or all of the following processes. We start where you are at, and progress from there.

• Identifying your natural talents
• Reconnecting with your true interests
• Getting started in a different direction
• ‘Brand You’ and your personal marketing material – your resume.
• Making connections of value.

The new OH & S laws will affect all businesses.  Nationally, all managers and business owners will be personally responsible for the safety of their staff.  Penalties include up to five years jail and fines of up to $600,000. Are you able to prove that you have provided “appropriate training” as stated in the Act to all members of staff, Health and Safety Representatives, Committee Members, Leaders and even CEOs ensuring that you have done everything possible to prevent workplace accidents and maintain a safe work environment?  If not, let IPS Institute help you. We believe that “appropriate training”  is training that is nationally accredited and recognised training. It is training that is assessed, and people are deemed “competent” with a piece of paper to prove it.

Staff – must be aware of and be responsible for managing workplace health and safety issues.

Workplace Health and Safety Representatives – must understand OHS laws and their responsibilities to keep employees safe.

Nominated Committee Members – maintain a safe working environment for employees and others via a consultative approach to safety, being the conduit between staff members and management.

Leaders (including business owners) – develop a safe culture in your workplace as you are legally obliged to do under the new laws.
