The History of Core Themes

Ray Inglesi, M.A., president of DRAKE INGLESI MILARDO, INC., created Core Themes over a 16-year period. It is a direct result of Ray’s consulting and counseling experiences with hundreds of unhappy, unfulfilled and unfocused professionals. These were intelligent, motivated and competent individuals who somehow became disenchanted with their work, which often spilled over to their personal lives. The majority of these people had indeed experienced real success in their career, but now felt a lack of purpose and clear direction.

The firm, DRAKE INGLESI MILARDO, INC., founded in 1981 by John Drake, Ph.D. provides a select group of Human Resources services that include: career counseling, psychological and professional assessments, outplacement counseling, executive and leadership development and organizational consulting. For those of you who are familiar with Jim Collins' bestseller Good to Great and specifically the Hedgehog Concept, our "hedgehog" is the ability to help individuals determine what makes for a happy and successful career path. It is the thing we do best. We at Core Themes are constantly striving to improve the processes and tools that help individuals achieve their life and career goals.

The Core Themes process can help you discover your bliss — in your life and in what you do for work. We at Core Themes sincerely hope that if you are unhappy and/or unfulfilled in your life or work that you will muster up the courage to change. It is your choice — remain in a state of discontinuity or take that first step that will lead to having a greater sense of purpose and meaning in your life. And be happy as well! Discover your bliss by starting the process.
