access information when traveling or when they cannot find their Big Five
resources, or to download new training modules to iPods/MP-3 Players, Treos,
etc. in order to keep up on new Big Five training. By subscribing to
TraitWorks,
consultants have 24/7/365 immediate online access to…

Ongoing additions as you request and CentACS adds them…
TraitWorks
has been designed to make it
easier for you to
communicate and share ideas with the Howards and other
consultants who are using the WorkPlace Big
Five ProFile or
the NEO PI-R in their client work.
How valuable could the CentACS
TraitWorks™
solution potentially be for you during one year?
Sample
TraitWorks
* use during a year by a single consultant:
Because of the expanding Big Five Consulting Network, the Howards will no
longer be able to help individual consultants brainstorm projects and
analyze profiles by phone or email without charging for their consulting
time. The Howards will, however, be available through threaded discussions,
bulletin boards, and scheduled online chats via
TraitWorks.
