Positive Development Academy uses the Passion Profile Method in reintegration, outplacement and personal development programs.

The Passion Profile Method is a modern approach that helps curious and driven professionals discover in a unique way what truly makes them happy and make conscious choices.

The Method for the Passion Profile has been developed since 2010 by Bas Smeets, who, with ‘Make Your Impact,’ has shown for more than 10 years that his approach is successful. The Passion Profile is based on thorough research, the knowledge of numerous experts, and years of practical application with over 1000 clients.

The Passion Profile program is designed for professionals who prefer working within an organization and want to figure out in what role, in what way, and in what type of organization they can bring out the best in themselves. The result? More enjoyment, success, energy, and happiness.
