Upcoming EventsCaring, Conflict & Meaning An APT International eLearning Program ONLINE Oct 31 – Nov 13, 2011 Register now at the APTi website This has been one of the best learning journeys of my life - truly! I have been amazed at everyone's willingness to share their own stories and to offer non-judgmental advice, opinions, ideas. Thank you Elizabeth and Katherine for developing this wonderful learning environment. The class has far exceeded my expectations. What I appreciate most is how much more deeply I understand and appreciate the gaps between the preferences. You've all provided rich heartfelt examples. I will miss checking in and reading the next chapter. My greatest learning is that I need to be intentional about relationships: to define what I want and be aware of my natural style, to understand the other person's needs and preferences, and then to determine jointly how to get there. Program Description This two week (approximately four hours of participation per week) online workshop is designed to help you become stronger and more effective in your relationships by: • Identifying how Type preferences shape how you define caring, conflict, and meaning in relationships • Becoming conscious of your relationship style and what is most important to you in relationships • Being explicit about your needs and expectations in relationships • Through participation and reflection, learning to appreciate the diversity of possible styles and approaches in relationships How do Type preferences impact who you are in relationships? What are your goals for yourself and your loved ones?

Type Tools and Tips for Enhancing Decision Making This was a blast to run - you can now order a DVD recording, see below Do the decisions of your decision-making partners occasionally leave you perplexed? Do you ever wonder about what motivates others during decision making? Do your own decisions, at times, catch you by surprise? This webinar explores the ways in which personality preferences influence how individuals typically make decisions. It is designed to help you make better decisions and understand more about how others approach decision making through the application of type theory. Using an in-depth case study, we outline strengths and challenges for decision makers that flow from psychological type and demonstrate how type can illuminate similarities and differences in decision-making style. The case study also serves to illustrate how type can provide a neutral language in which to discuss difficult decisions and lessen the conflicts that can erupt during the decision-making process. In addition to the importance of exploring your style in relation to that of your decision making partners, delving into the gifts and challenges your preferences bring can help you to become a more balanced decision maker. Good decision making requires attention to all eight preferences, the four represented by the letters type in your code as well as their four less practiced and less familiar opposites. With this in mind, we provide type development tips that promote decision-making excellence. Join us for an opportunity to reflect on your assumptions about decision making and leave with strategies that can be applied immediately to improve individual and group decision making for decisions large and small, personal and professional. Objectives * Highlight ways in which psychological type influences decision making * Suggest how type knowledge can help reduce conflict during decision making * Explore methods for improving individual and group decision making * Make decision making more fun (or at least less stressful!) This webinar is for anyone interested in exploring the impact of personality preferences on decision making and more specifically, practitioners and leaders – managers counselors, consultants, coaches, trainers, human resource professionals, educators, etc. – who want to help their colleagues and/or clients develop their decision making. |
