As a career practitioner, many people want help finding a job, but don’t know his or her target career.

Let me tell you a little about Stacie Parker. She is a CPRW, Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF) and a Certified Coach. She is currently working on her Doctorate of Philosophy in Organization Development Psychology.

Here are a few highlights from our conversation:

Stacie uses her studies in Psychology and career coaching knowledge and experience to help his or her individual journey
A large part of her applied knowledge based on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Part of Stacie’s technique based on hypnosis and reflection, looking for connections from childhood to now and what they’re good at naturally
She believes those relationships in what we are naturally skilled at first discovered in their first six years
Passion doesn’t mean purpose—your purpose doesn’t serve you, but serves others
Emotional Intelligence is built on understanding and knowing yourself/self-awareness
Critical to understanding courage is needed to get out of our comfort zone and discovering purpose
Stacie discusses the importance of visualization, help people leave old stories behind to change the perceptions to build a new narrative
She explains how this is implemented to help her clients with interview preparation
