Self-Assessment and Exploration: What do I want? What are my options?
Taking Control of Stress-Using the Myers-Briggs (MBTI) To Get A Grip
Do you wonder why you act so differently when you are experiencing anxiety and stress? Want to change your behavior? Did you know that the Myers- Briggs Type Indicator, a personality tool can provide insight to these temporary episodes? By understanding what is “normal” for you, you can then begin to gain clarity about what happens when you become stressed. You can actually “deal with” your triggers and learn from your challenges. Knowing your own preferences and style can help you work more effectively with others.
This two-part group interactive workshop will cover the following topics:
Session I:
Monday, September 20, 6:00pm-8:30pm
Introduction to Type: What is type? What is the benefit of using type? What are your strengths? How does your type influence your performance and communication?
Session II:
Saturday, September 25, 11:00am -1:30pm
Stress and Type:
What are the common triggers for each type? How does each type look and act under stress? What are the strategies for returning to “normal”? How can you become more self-aware and resilient? (To attend only session II, you must be type fluent.)
Cost: Each Session is $50, two sessions for $90 (includes all materials, session I participants will take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator prior to the workshop)
