Welcome participants and introduce the Career Reinvention Blueprint series. Briefly explain that today’s focus is self-discovery—understanding values, interests, and strengths. Prompt learners to think of a past success that felt meaningful.

Review the session objectives and agenda. Emphasize that this is a hands-on, reflective session. Explain that we’ll complete a self-inventory, discuss insights, and plan a next step.

Distribute the [Self-Inventory Worksheet](#session1-self-inventory-worksheet). Guide learners to the “Values” section. Encourage them to list their top three values and write a short explanation for each.

Now move to interests and strengths. Clarify that interests are activities or topics that energize them, and strengths are skills or talents they’ve demonstrated. Offer a quick example if needed.

Invite volunteers to share one key insight from their worksheet. Ask probing questions: “Which value surprised you?” or “How could this skill translate to a new field?” Keep discussion focused and positive.

Ask each learner to choose one concrete follow-up action and record it on their worksheet. Preview that this action will be the starting point for Session 2 homework.

Welcome back and recap insights from Session 1: your core values, interests, and strengths. Introduce Session 2’s focus on exploring concrete career options through research and analysis.

Outline today’s objectives and the session flow so learners know what to expect.

Guide learners to use the worksheet to gather consistent data on each role.

Suggest trusted sources and encourage note-taking on where to find details.

Frame a quick partner discussion to compare insights and surface patterns.

Help learners commit to one option and plan their immediate next step; preview Session 3 on bridging skill gaps.

Welcome learners back and recap your chosen career option from Session 2 and your initial exploratory step. Introduce today’s focus: identifying and closing skill gaps.

Guide participants to open their worksheets and list all required skills for their selected role, then honestly rate their current proficiency.

Introduce a variety of learning pathways and encourage learners to think broadly about how they can develop each skill gap.

Explain SMART goal criteria and model an example: “Complete an online Excel course to intermediate level by May 15.”

Prompt learners to commit to two concrete next steps, record them, and preview the focus of Session 4 on networking.

Welcome learners and recap Session 3: bridging skill gaps and setting SMART goals. Introduce today’s focus: mapping your network and crafting outreach to support your career reinvention.

Guide participants to open their worksheets and create a visual map of their professional contacts. Show sample network map on the slide.

Explain the four key elements of an effective outreach message and reference sample templates.

Help learners commit to concrete networking actions and preview Session 5’s focus on synthesizing all insights into an action roadmap.

Welcome participants and introduce today’s session: clarifying personal motivations for a career change. Explain that anchoring in their “why” will guide and sustain their journey.

Ask learners to open their [Motivation Reflection Worksheet](#lp-clarify-motivation-worksheet) and follow the prompts shown. Encourage honest, detailed responses.

Pair learners and have each share their top two motivations. Prompt listeners to ask: “Why is that important to you?” and “How does this align with your long-term goals?” Debrief with a few volunteers.

Model an example ‘why’ statement and explain how to choose a follow-up action. Then give learners time to craft their own and record it.

Welcome participants and recap the purpose of today’s session: identifying and articulating individual strengths. Introduce how understanding one’s strengths informs career exploration and positioning.

Ask learners to open the [Strengths Inventory Worksheet](#lp-assess-strengths-worksheet). Guide them to list their top skills, memorable achievements, and feedback they've received, using prompts on the slide.

Pair participants to share their top three strengths. Encourage each partner to provide a concrete example or story illustrating each strength. Debrief with volunteers to highlight diverse strengths.

Demonstrate how to craft a concise strengths profile statement. Then invite learners to combine their top strengths into a single sentence and plan how to leverage one strength in their upcoming career research.

Welcome participants and recap key insights from the previous sessions: your motivations and strengths. Introduce today’s focus: researching and evaluating potential career options to find the best fit.

Outline today’s objectives and session flow so learners know what to expect.

Guide learners to use the worksheet to gather consistent information on each role.

Suggest reliable sources and encourage learners to bookmark or note where they find useful data.

Frame a quick partner discussion to surface patterns and preferences.

Help learners commit to one option and preview the next session on bridging skill gaps.

Welcome learners back and recap Session 2’s chosen career option and your initial exploratory step. Introduce today’s focus: identifying and closing skill gaps.

Guide participants to open the [Skill Gap Analysis Worksheet](#session3-skillgap-worksheet) and list all required skills for their selected role. Then have them honestly rate their current proficiency (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) and highlight at least two significant gaps.

Introduce a variety of training pathways—online courses, workshops, mentorship, self-study—and encourage learners to match each identified gap to one or more resources.

Explain the SMART criteria and model an example (e.g., “Complete an online Excel course to intermediate level by May 15”). Then ask participants to write two SMART goals for their own skill development.

Prompt learners to choose two concrete next steps—such as enrolling in a course or scheduling practice sessions—and record them. Preview Session 4’s focus on networking to support skill growth.
