How to Identify and Leverage the Powerful Patterns that Shape your Work/Life

PASSION AND PURPOSE shows you how to use the System of Identifying Motivated Abilities, (SIMA)®, a behavior-based assessment,  to identify the unique but consistent pattern of your natural strengths. The outcome of this SIMA® Assessment is a description of your vocationally significant motivations--what you enjoy doing and feel you do well. It describes:

the "motivated" abilities that recur in your work/life achievements
the subject matter or content with which you are motivated to work
the circumstances that trigger and sustain your efforts
the way in which you prefer to relate to others when you are working
the overall outcome or payoff that you seek to achieve from your efforts.

This set of integrated information, which is your Motivational Pattern, should be the foundation of every decision you make about your job, your career and even your life.  PASSION AND PURPOSE also explains the job/career implications of different motivations and provides “how to” for assessing your own job/career “fit.”  Real-life case studies demonstrate how “evidence” from your work/life achievements provides guidance for making more informed career decisions and strategies. You will be able to answer questions like “Am I an entrepreneur?” or “Am I motivated to manage others?” or “Is this major field of study right for me?” After you have identified your Motivational Pattern, you may elect to have your pattern compared to profiles of more than 400 professions and occupations to determine the "best fit" for you.
