What People love about Compass!
“Compass has information that is practical and most helpful. It is wonderful. I use it every day.”
– Pam Shaw, Client
“Coaching makes me stop and take notice of my life instead of just letting the clock tick. It makes me more accountable to myself to reach for my goals and for that I am very grateful. – Victoria Benham, Client

Take a Break and Change Your Life!!!!!
We know you have limited time. (We do too!) We’ve designed our monthly product, the Compass Monthly Action Plan (MAP™) to help you take small steps each day to improve your life. As a member of Compass, you get access to our library of MAPs so you can choose which area you'd like to focus on each month. You can make a big difference in just a few minutes a day – five days a week! If you're not sure which life area to focus on first, take our brief life assessment to discover where you might like to start!
Why Coaching?
Coaching is like having a personal trainer for your life. An empowered life requires focus, intent and commitment –just like staying in shape. Coaching helps you think about what you really want, and identify what is getting in your way. A Coach will give you permission and even encourage you to dream and then help you gain the confidence to make those dreams a reality.
What Is a Coaching Group?
The Compass Coaching Groups are coach-led conference calls that our Advanced and Master level clients join 2 or 3 times a month. In these groups, you will meet with other women like you who are working on a specific area of their life. Professionally trained Compass Coaches then use the right questions and exercises to guide you through a process to make real improvements in your life. They will help you uncover what might be holding you back and hold you accountable to move forward. Your group is a safe and supportive environment to give you new perspectives, ideas, and courage to identify your passion, strengths, and priorities.
What Is a Personal Development Network?
The Compass Personal Development Network is like hanging out with your friends online. You can talk about how you’re doing and hear from them about how they’re doing. It is designed to help you:
• Create and write down goals for your life
• Connect with others that have similar goals
• Get the support and encouragement you need to reach your goals
Compass is a personal development company committed to improving
the lives of women through affordable coaching programs and services.
Compass offers affordable life coaching programs and services to help you get what you want out of life. Whether you want to
lose weight, get healthy, get balance in your life, control stress, become financially independent, have better relationships at home
and at work, or just be happy where you are, Compass can help.
Take a Break and Change Your Life
Our core product is the Compass MAP (Monthly Action Plan). We know you have limited time
(We do too!). We designed the MAP to help you address a specific area of your life in just
a few minutes a day. The MAP provides you with daily bite-sized tip to help you make real
improvements in your life. We carefully consider books by outstanding authors, experts,
and coaches to find the best material, then turn them in to your MAP.
The MAP is supported by our Coaching Groups that meet 2 or 3 times a month over the
telephone to offer you support and accountability. You can let the community know your
goals and share your progress by posting them in your own profile on our Personal Development
Network.
Monthly Action Plans (MAPs),
can be downloaded
to your iPod™
Our community of women and professional coaches work together to help you address any area of your life where you’d like some
support. Which area? That’s the empowering part—you choose! One month you may want to work on finances, another month,
your relationships, create a plan for success, or take better care of yourself. Let’s face it, women have lots of stuff going on and we
could all use some support!
We Offer 3 Levels of Membership
Use your Compass. Get where you REALLY want to go. Life may not give you a roadmap, but we’ll give you a Compass.
Self and Life Balance
Life gets busy. Every day, you have to keep up with the demands of your life – job, kids, family, house,
laundry, groceries, you name it. When was the last time you took care of YOU? Compass can help you
balance life and define what is really important to you, so you can live your priorities! It’s not balance, it’s
LIFE, and we’re pretty obsessed with it too.
Money and Career
What’s holding you back? The honest answer is it can be a lot of things—fear of success, fear of failure, lack of options, limited thinking to name a few. Compass can help remove the obstacles that stop you from stepping up. Take control of your money or your career and watch the rest of your life fall into place.
Relationships
Get real and get what you want! If you think best friends, passionate romances, and strong families are only in the movies, think again. It’s not easy, but with some Compass guidance, you can create genuine, authentic relationships in your life. You can have the kind of family, love, friends, and associates that people write about.
Health and Wellness
Are you healthy inside and out? Whether you want to update your look, your image, lose weight, or
boost your self-esteem, Compass can provide you with much needed encouragement to break pesky
habits and help YOU take charge of your personal health and well-being.
Spirit
What is at the center of YOUR Compass? Your Spirit is your core, and defines who you are. It is the vantage point from which you view the rest of your life. To live from your Spirit is to live from your heart. Compass wants to help you do that, because we believe that when you live from your heart, you live with passion and purpose. Life may not give you a roadmap but we give you a Compass (and different tracks to choose from to meet your unique needs):

I recently became an HCS - Human Capital Strategist and learned so much more than I had from solely my SHRM modules alone. It is the capstone to my experience in this area and a fine look for one seeking new meaning and perhaps a new way of redefining oneself in a competitive market that uses a different vernacular than what was formerly Staffing and Recruiting.

Following the success of LawCrossing, the company soon broadened its range to include the 100+ EmploymentCrossing.com websites, each of which is specific to a particular industry or field of interest. These websites started with the launch of SellingCrossing in 2007.
In addition to the running all many job search websites, one of Harrison’s umbrella companies, CareerMission.com, branched into legal staffing with the temporary staffing firm Law Firm Staff in 2002.

"Straight Talk from a Professional Headhunter."
Certified Recruitment Personnel Consultant and Executive Recuiter Wade Bumgarner teaches you the inside tricks on "how to find and get a job!"
This is a 30 minute video that covers all of the inside tips for getting a job. There is a way to find a job if you just know how to do it--and that is exactly what this video teaches you. By following the step by step video instructions, you will have a competitive advantage over the thousands of other job hunters vying for work.
A Word From The Author:
Back when this whole economy meltdown hit, I was affected just like everyone else, and so, I had some time on my hands. I started taking notice of all the career tips, resume tips, how to's and so forth going out to all those out of work people and what I realized was that, while everyone was trying to help....nobody was giving them the simple basics of correctly conducting a job search first!!! In a good friends description....the internet was simply "Noisy" ....full of pieces that would only fit if you had the blueprint, which everybody wrongly assumed everyone else possessed, and forgetting that the vast majority of these people haven't had to even think about a different job for many, many years...let alone actually have to navigate the career minefield in a major recession!!!. So....Thus started this project and it has become a valuable tool in helping people find a job in this economy.
KEY FEATURES:
1) This video provides a start to finish blueprint on the correct method of searching for a job. Unlike other videos that make up a series and can end up costing a small fortune... or seminars that may take even more valuable time than you would like, this video has all the fluff removed and the meat and potatoes of it all are condensed into a tolerable 30 min. video that can be viewed and understood in one sitting.
2) Insider tips from a seasoned recruiter. No "sales" pitch here....just plain, across the table, straight shooting.
3) Helpful graphics and portrayals to illustrate key points.
4) No Industry jargon here or tasks that require above average intelligence or skills...this video is presented in an understandable, organized and workable format for anyone at any level of the workforce and is as applicable to the gardener as it is to the Corporate CEO.

Add your comment for Idea: iMatchSkills®iMatchSkills® (iMS) is WorkSource Oregon’s job matching system that uses skills to connect job seekers and employers. Developed to meet changing workplace requirements of employers, iMS has revolutionized the way labor exchange services are delivered and how job seekers and employers connect to workforce services.
To link business and job seekers, iMS uses a common language of almost 3,000 job related skills. These skills, combined with over 800 occupational titles, and almost 400 occupational licenses and certifications, provide extensive flexibility for job seekers to identify their skill sets and qualifications and for employers to pinpoint the specific requirements for a job opening.
Through iMS, job seekers can set up an online account and create their own customized profile that includes a skill profile, work and education history, and job preferences. Job seekers can choose to be contacted directly by employers if they are selected in a job match. Job seekers can also compare their skills to the skills required for a job, identifying gaps in their skills that the WorkSource Oregon system can help bridge through training and education programs.
iMS also provides a host of features for employers. Through iMS, employers can set up an online account to post and manage their own job listings. In addition, employers can match their job listing, view the skills and qualifications of potential candidates and contact those they consider to be a best fit.
iMS is also used by WorkSource Oregon staff to track labor exchange services.
