Young People

When you’re at school, you’re mostly expected to learn and to communicate in one way, the same way as everyone else.  But that style may not suit you. Conforming of course means there is little opportunity to identify your individual strengths, direction and talent.  When we don’t know what we’re good at, we may struggle with self-confidence and feel as if we’re not ‘good enough’ and it gets harder to decide which is the right direction for you.

You may also have lots of people telling you what they think you should do – parents, relatives, career counsellors – they’re mostly well-meaning but their advice may not be right for you.  Too many times we’ve seen people in the ‘wrong’ job but many years down the track they’re feeling stuck and wishing they had their time again.

Using Ignition! profiling, Talent AdvantEdge shows you the route to recognising what you’re naturally good at. It gives you your own individual path to follow; your own individual path to feeling great and finding the path that will suit you best so that you make the right choices now and start a career that works for you.  When you do that, work doesn’t feel as hard, getting up in the morning is easy and you feel super confident about who you are.

Your Ignition! Profile Report

Detailing your individual profile will show you your natural path whatever stage you’re at – school, college, workplace – and will guide you as you move forward making life-decisions far more straightforward. Knowing your Ignition! Profile allows you to be who you are and to recognise your own route to success. In the report we include well-known personalities for each profile so you can relate to real-life role models. You will be fully aware of the ways that will work for you when it comes to learning, working and communicating, and equally vital, what won’t work. Knowing the Ignition! profiles of friends and family is also a tremendously powerful tool because it allows you to understand how to bring out the best in them as well.
