CAREER ASSESSMENT SYSTEM


What Is The Career Assessment System?
The Career Assessment System (CAS) uses an integrative approach in taking an
artist’s career to the next level and beyond. Working with the artist, Kari establishes a clear path to achieving success, while empowering the “whole” artist. The Career Assessment System not only focuses on creating a nuts and bolts career plan based on talent, marketing plans, how to build a team and more, but on how the artist can tap into new and/or existing resources. The CAS also looks at ways to fundraise for new projects, on how to identify and eliminate obstacles and how to recognize strengths and those areas that need additional support. This is all done while also considering personal lifestyle choices and philosophies. The artist emerges from the CAS “working smarter, not harder” with a uniquely tailored business plan and step-by-step recommendations on how to achieve it. The CAS lays a firm foundation from which to build on for years to come.

How does the Career Assessment System Untangle Obstacles?

Over the years, artists seeking to free themselves from constraints have expressed certain obstacles that seem to be common to the creative personality. Occasionally an artist's progress may be hampered by these "stumbling blocks." An important objective within the Career Assessment meeting is to identify and give you short-cuts through and strategies to remove these obstacles when they occur. Some of the most frequently encountered stumbling blocks are:

• Possessing a good working knowledge of the music business, but still having trouble knowing what to do or ask for next

• Feeling disorganized, overwhelmed, and isolated within your work and not knowing where to turn and how to stay on track

• Knowing a situation is not working, but not being comfortable in asserting your needs in appropriate situations and ways

• Being confused by options, which clouds perspective and forward motion and constricts ability to make choices

• Worrying about lack of finances that result in inertia, when strategic planning can identify new ways to move forward, identify resources and options to attain them

• Letting other’s opinions confuse your perspective or stop your progress

• Achieving success locally, but not being familiar with common business practices and available avenues to advance your career beyond hometown status

If any of these situations are keeping you “stuck,” let the Career Assessment System establish a plan to help move you forward with confidence and begin to provide you with the tools to do so!
