Career Counselors Can Save the Nation<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Envisioning A School Shooting, Crime Solution<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

Frustration, anger, and bias become rampant.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

If You Can\u2019t Create, You Destroy<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n
Friedrich Nietzsche<\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]School shootings and neighborhood crimes will diminish when more students believe they can accomplish the career of their dreams. As career counselors, we have the unique opportunity to provide students with all the resources needed to create a passionate career path vision. This was the gift a career counselor gave me when I was 16.<\/p>\n

Our first challenge is to get students to understand the consequences of not investing in their future. Once this is accomplished, they need occupational-specific assessments and career facts to investigate each career\u2019s possibilities. Then, as counselors, we need to motivate them to make a solid commitment on their own. In so doing, they become passionately motivated to direct and control their destiny.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

The More They Want to Do a Career,
\n<\/strong>The More Successful They Will Be.<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]I was recently placed in \u201cLock Down,\u201d unable to go home because of an active shooter in my neighborhood. Fear takes a toll. I needed to know I was safe before I made plans. In unsafe neighborhoods, just surviving makes it even harder to plan and invest in a future. Right now, we can\u2019t change this crime reality. We can, however, create programs that allow them to see beyond their present situation and imagine a future that makes them smile. Then, support them with resources to make it happen.<\/p>\n

Of course, we can\u2019t do it all! We need an army of volunteers. Perhaps, it\u2019s time to get the community involved. It\u2019s loaded with retired professionals who are looking to give back. Why not harness their knowledge? Some schools have already started done this, built career community clubs to give support. They use specialized, retired volunteers to lead occupational groups, advise, and motivate students to believe in themselves.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

As a Nation, We Need to Fight \u2026
\n<\/strong>and Fund Youth Counseling. <\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The future is in our hands. Change is political, but it doesn\u2019t have to be. Let\u2019s make students our primary concern. Drop old ideas that no longer work. Maximize the way we approach each issue. Open the door to community volunteers that can embrace the student\u2019s dreams and mentor them towards a more fulfilling life.Yes, I believe career counselors can save the United States of America. It\u2019s a country where dreams still come true.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\n

\"\"Dewey Sadka<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For more than 25 years, Dewey Sadka owned and ran Temp Force, one of the nation\u2019s largest and most successful staffing companies. He then sold his company to Randstad Staffing, where he served as the USA\u2019s COO.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Running staffing companies for over 24 years, he came face-to-face with thousands of individuals working to survive, stumbling to find an enjoyable career. Regrettably, there wasn\u2019t a career program that worked. After leaving, he invested millions and 20 years to build a career program that empowers others to control their destiny.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

The Top 50 Most Enjoyable Occupations assessment list was validated directly against the US Dept. of Labor\u2019s O*Net Code. Therefore, there are no assumptions that \u201can occupation is a certain personality type.\u201d Then, an O*Net Code\u2019s occupational link connects students to all they need to know about a career. The other assessment, Success Driven Coaching, identifies their core motivation. Then coaches them every 2\u00bd days with a Customized Coaching Program to keep them on track. A 2-minute Color Test produces both Programs.<\/p>\n

Dewey Sadka\u02bcs company was featured on CareerBuilder, receiving over 100 million visitors with over 8 MSN and 12 AOL \u201cArticle of the Week\u201d awards. He has received excellent features and reviews from CNN, The Wall Street Journal, The Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post, USA Today, Discovery Channel, and over 1000 magazines and newspapers.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s also the author of a series of books and products through Random House with over eight international editions and a best seller in Japan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
