Maximizing Your Career Potential: Brain Style of the ENFJ: For use with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® & Striving Styles® Personality System

by Anne Dranitsaris

Whether you’re deciding to look for your first job or a possible career change, understanding your personality type, brain organization and psychological/emotional needs takes away much of the risk that comes when we think a career sounds good until we are actually in the experience of it.

Choosing a job or career is one of the most important things that we do and yet many of us are ill prepared to do so for two main reasons; we lack awareness of ourselves, our needs and ambitions; and we seek advice from others who are more concerned with our security needs (money, stability, familiarity) than in the fulfilment of our potential. Economist Neil Howe says that only 5% of people pick the right job or career on the first try. That’s because they limit themselves and let themselves know what they really may aspire to that would be more rewarding, yet more of a risk.

We all want to be good at choosing paths for ourselves. With so many jobs and careers to choose from, it can be overwhelming to narrow it down to a handful.

The information in this book will provide you with powerful insight into your work style and the type of career you are best suited to based on your Personality Type or Striving Style. You will learn the unique ways in which your Type gets its predominant need met through career and work choices. It will help you to understand the elements of work that are most intrinsically satisfying versus those that are more likely to frustrate your predominant need and are therefore dissatisfying for you. With this information, you can make choices that are most likely to move you in the direction of the career and future you desire.

Each of the 16 Career books includes:
 How your brain is organized
 Need Satisfiers & Dissatisfiers
 Using the MBTI & SSPS in Career Selection
 Careers Best Suited to Your Personality Type
 Occupations to Pursue
 Occupations to Avoid
 Planning Your Career
 Tips for Interviewing

This, and so much more in one book.

About the author

Dr. Anne Dranitsaris, a dynamic Behavioral Change Therapist, Executive and Leadership Coach, and Consultant, has been transforming lives for over 40 years. Her work with individuals, couples, and senior leaders helps them unlock their potential and achieve their goals.

In the 1980s, Anne completed a rigorous 6-year Diploma Program at the Centre for Training in Psychotherapy, studying Karl Jung and other psychoanalytic theorists. She earned her Ph.D. in Therapeutic Counselling from the Open International University for Alternative Medicine while building her psychotherapy practice.

Anne is a Certified Practitioner of the MBTI® and integrates Jung's Psychological Type Theory into her practices. She applies psychological types in clinical and organizational settings, helping individuals and leaders understand themselves and others, earning her recognition as a top expert in North America.

Anne's unique approach draws from various theories and disciplines, including Psychodynamic Therapy, Self-Psychology, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Neuropsychology. Her holistic, psycho-educational therapeutic approach considers childhood conditioning and brain organization, guiding clients to identify limiting behavior patterns, develop greater insight, and adopt life-enhancing behaviors.

Anne's relationship with her daughter and business partner, Heather Dranitsaris-Hilliard, whom she reunited with after giving up for adoption at birth, inspired their first consulting business, Sage Developmental Resources, which evolved into Caliber Leadership Systems. Anne also founded the Centre for Mindful Therapies, integrating mindfulness into psychotherapy and coaching.
An article by Anne in "O" Oprah Magazine inspired her and Heather to co-author "WHO ARE YOU MEANT TO BE?", leading to the development of the Striving Styles Personality System® (SSPS®). This neuropsychological approach helps individuals understand their strengths and challenges, offering a roadmap for personal and professional growth. The SSPS® psychometric assessment helps individuals overcome self-protective behaviors hindering their Authentic Self.

Anne and Heather authored "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN LEAD," supporting leaders with programs covering self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and effective communication. These programs are available online and customizable to clients' needs.

In 2020, Anne wrote "POWER PAST THE IMPOSTER SYNDROME," a brain-building framework for changing self-limiting beliefs and habits. The book and accompanying 8-week online course help individuals overcome Imposter Syndrome, providing practical tools and strategies for personal growth.

Anne's recent publication, "BECOME WHO YOU ARE MEANT TO BE IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE," is a comprehensive guide for those experiencing imposter syndrome or seeking personal transformation. It guides readers toward their true potential, addressing unconscious fears and fostering the development of their Authentic Self. This book is the first in the "Become Who You Are Meant to Be" trilogy, with Books Two and Three to be released later this year.

Anne resides with her husband Blake and their dog Pixie on a picturesque lake northeast of Toronto, continuing to inspire individuals and leaders toward their fullest potential.
