Nicholas Ayars “Nick” Lore is a social scientist specializing in career design methodology and multiple intelligences, author, and the founder of the Rockport Institute.[1][2][3][4] Lore’s work concentrates on exploring the question “how can individuals live lives they love?”
Contributions
His Rockport career design methodology asserts that traditional prescriptive career counseling, in which a client takes a personality and interest test, and is then supplied with a list of suitable jobs leaves out many factors crucial to career success and fulfillment. His answer was to develop “career design coaching,” later called simply “career coaching.” [3][4]
This methodology holds that achieving both career fulfillment and depends on choosing work that fulfills several key elements:
- Natural talents and innate abilities (in-born aptitudes)
- Personality traits including in-born traits such as temperament (personality type) and traits developed as a result of one’s upbringing, socialization, interpretation of experiences, identity, and life view.
- Sense of purpose, meaning, contribution, interest
- Workplace ecology - all the external factors in one’s environment and workplace
- Harmony between a person’s goals and values and workplace rewards
- Personal goals and situation
His methodology includes a system of step-by-step inquiry during which people achieve certainty about their unique expression of those key elements. This methodology also includes a suite of tools and inquiries to deal with the doubts, fears and uncertainties that arise.[5] A central concept of his work states that too many people concentrate their career goals on extrinsic rewards such as high salary and prestige and unnecessarily sacrifice intrinsic values such as job satisfaction. He asserts that a well-chosen career will provide both.[6]
Honors
Commended for excellence by two United States presidents.[7]
Personal life
Lore lives in Maryland with his wife, sculptor Mitra Mortazavi Lore. He has three children, Erin, Newsha and Neema. He is a sailor, organic gardener, guitar player and painter.
