CARMEN
Modern careers are too complex, non-linear and fast-changing to be managed with occasional conversations. You need an operating system.
Carmen's framework will help you become a more deliberate author of your career, not just a passive participant.
By bringing together personalised self-authoring programmes and practical tools your career development isn’t fragmented or reactive. Instead of relying on memory or instinct, you can build a clear record of what motivates you, where you add value and how you want to evolve.
How it works
Through the fundamental principles of Positive Psychology, the Carmen framework enables you to examine your career holistically, map its direction and cultivate a more fulfilling working life.
The ADAPT model is a straightforward tool to use, giving you an effective and tested structure to creating change in your career.
