Core Themes – those unique values, needs, and interests that define you personally and professionally.

Four Phases of Core Themes
"You owe it to yourself to be relentless in finding the kind of work that is fulfilling and meaningful to you. Anything less and you are compromising your happiness." - Ray Inglesi
Our career development program, Core Themes, is not a career guidance seminar or career assessment test; it is a proven system that utilizes a unique four-phase methodology to help people of all ages and types find their true passion and purpose in their career and life. If you currently view work as a “means to an end” just to pay the bills, and you long for your work to have deeper meaning and purpose beyond “making a living,” then Core Themes is for you!
