Transform your career narrative with the Challenge - Action - Result (CAR) Method: Master storytelling to showcase your unique value and achieve professional growth and success.
Career storytelling is the strategic process of transforming professional experiences into engaging, impactful narratives. Rather than listing duties, it focuses on how you have addressed challenges, taken specific actions, and achieved measurable results — conveying your unique professional identity, problem-solving capabilities, and the value you bring to recruiters and hiring managers.
This course, led by Lori Jazvac, equips participants with the Challenge-Action-Result (CAR) method: a structured framework that dissects accomplishments into three core components. The challenge is the specific problem, task, or situation you encountered. The action covers the steps you took to address it. The result captures the measurable outcomes you achieved. Together, these three elements elevate your personal brand and strengthen how you present yourself across résumés, LinkedIn profiles, and interviews.
Whether you are early in your career, navigating a career change, or operating at the executive level, mastering the CAR method will help you move beyond generic descriptions and communicate your value with clarity and confidence.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
