CAREER PLANNING

Career Resilience in a Changing World

Most of us were told to find a job and get promoted. But there are only so few 'up' places, no manager can tell you where your career should go, and constant restructuring means no one can be certain about the future. Career Planning: Career Resilience in a Changing World gives you a proven process, a framework and eight practical tools to take ownership of the 45 years of your working life — delivered by Flame Centre, the authorised Asia partner for the career development frameworks behind the bestseller Up Is Not the Only Way.

WHY THIS MATTERS NOW

Are You Building a Career —
Or Just Doing a Job?

What is my next career step? What am I really good at? What am I known for? What do I need to learn? What am I passionate about that also pays the bills? How can I navigate and grow in my career?

You're not alone. These are really important questions — they guide 45 years of your work life. Imagine having answers: you'd be focused, learning interesting skills, doing what you love, and feeling happy and fulfilled. Work becomes a playground to grow and be your best.

The reality is that we are rarely taught to be strategic with our careers. We're too busy working to reflect on it. So we end up drifting — and the worst outcome is drifting into something we don't like, losing motivation, and turning work into a burden.

It doesn't need to be like this. There is an alternative: be a savvy careerist.

Why you should plan your career
Career Drift

Too busy working to reflect on the career. Years pass, choices get made by default rather than design.

"I've been here six years. I'm not sure I chose any of it."

The Promotion Trap

We're told to find a job and be promoted. But there are only so few 'up' places — and the org chart is flattening.

"If I don't get the next title, have I failed?"

No Map, No Tools

Most people have no process and no tools to plan a career — only advice, opinions and job ads.

"I know I should plan. I just don't know how."

Silent Disengagement

Managers cannot tell you where to go in your career, and constant restructuring makes the future uncertain.

"I was waiting for someone to notice me."

45 Years

The span of a working life this workshop asks you to plan for — deliberately, not by default.

5 Ps

8 Tools

A structured career framework: Person, Perspective, Place, Possibilities, Plan.

Practical instruments you leave with and can re-use every time your career shifts.

OUR SOLUTION

A Proven Framework
for Career Resilience

Career planning fails when it's a conversation without a structure. The 5P career framework turns "what should I do next?" into five answerable questions — each producing a concrete result you can act on and take into a career conversation with your manager.

The Eight Tools You'll Use

This is a tools workshop, not a talk. You apply each instrument to your own career during the day and take them home to re-use.

Career planning tools framework

The 5P career framework and the tools above were created by Beverly Kaye and Career Systems International. Flame Centre is the authorised Asia partner, licensed to deliver and facilitate these career development frameworks and tools in the region. They have won awards from HRO Today and ATD and have been delivered globally for the past 25 years.
