Making and Keeping Type in the Conversation—Sharon Lovoy
2022-10-08 10:15 - 11:15 (Australia/Melbourne)
Type is losing ground in the corporate setting and less than 50% of those who are certified buy Type related materials. As Type Practitioners, we must be dedicated to keeping Type relevant and the “Go To” process. Sharon Lovoy continues to be successful in helping her clients use Type not only in their professional positions, but also as a part of their personal lives. Sharon is a Master Trainer in the Influencer Model from Crucial Learning. Sharon has found a way to combine her knowledge of Type with her knowledge of strategy. She will present a clear case for what we need to do to remain relevant. Additionally, those who attend this interactive session will receive a playbook with clear strategies for making Type ubiquitous. NOTE: Australian contacts for Influencer training will be provided. Sharon is not selling her services.

AusAPT Time & Tide Conference

Type and Music Preferences—Ian Ball
2022-10-08 11:45 - 12:45 (Australia/Melbourne)
There are many reasons why particular pieces of music attract us and why we go back to those preferences. There are also reasons why particular styles of music are ones we avoid or find unbearable.

In 2006 Elwin Hall and I conducted a workshop at the AusAPT conference exploring these ideas and looked for linkages between one’s preferred type and one’s preferences for music.

This new session for the conference on Time & Tide: Traditions and Trends in Type reviews the research conducted since then and serves as an update on this theme. The new evidence gives much more confidence about the relationships. There has been a reconceptualisation about music preferences and this will be explained in the session.

It is hoped that participants will have a greater appreciation of the linkages between type and preferences for music with particular attributes.

Work-Life Balance, Stress and the Process of Individuation—Mary McGuiness
2022-10-08 11:45 - 12:45 (Australia/Melbourne)
The individuation process is a term used by Carl Gustav Jung to describe the process of becoming inwardly whole, discovering one’s true self, beyond the mask of the persona and ego-centered life. Individuation generally has a profound healing effect on the person. It is a process that allows us to be our most creative and to fulfil the soul’s deepest desire.

Our busy lives sometimes hinder our growth towards wholeness as the stress reduces our cognitive functioning and emotional intelligence. Work-Life Balance is essential in reducing stress and allowing the process of growth and individuation to occur. We will explore how research has suggested some ‘best practices’ that can help us to prevent stress and improve resilience so that we can function at our best. We will look at these practices and some suggestions Jung gave us on how to facilitate our own growth and individuation.

Traditions and Trends in Delivering Type Learning Events - Susan Nash
2022-10-08 13:30 - 14:30 (Australia/Melbourne)
Traditionally, type learning events were held in-person. With the pandemic, those assumptions were challenged and many type professionals have moved their learning and coaching practices to the virtual world. With the emergence from the pandemic, we are faced with a unique opportunity to reframe how we deliver effective learning type interventions. To what extent can we combine in-person and virtual sessions? How might hybrid sessions work with remote and in-person participants? How can we optimise technology to streamline the learning experience and appeal to different learning styles? How can we change how we deliver in-person events to ensure maximum engagement and retention?

In this hands-on session, participants will walk away with a wide variety of activities to add flexibility and relevance to type sessions together with a clearer understanding of the engagement skills required when facilitating adult, active learning.

Creating a Type Community and Business in Japan—Harumi Gondo
2022-10-08 14:45 - 15:45 (Australia/Melbourne)
Creating a Type Community and Business in Japan – How I went from charging 100 to 100,000 yen a session

Harumi Gondo got off the plane from the US to Tokyo 9 years ago. She barely spoke the language and experienced severe culture shock in Japan. She went from knowing nothing about the culture and knowing no one to managing a busy type community of mothers and a growing business contracting the team of mothers who have now become expert practitioners in Type.

She will share her experiences with Japanese mothers, who highly prioritize conformity and keeping their mouth shut. She will also share her experience in building a growth-based Type community and how she as an ENFJ avoided poverty and poor health to achieving a six figure income through knowing and developing her Type.

C G Jung's Rational and Irrational Types: a presentation and a discussion—Peter Geyer
2022-10-08 14:45 - 15:45 (Australia/Melbourne)
C.G. Jung arranged his typology in a different way to what appears emphasised in current models and interpretations. This session presents its core aspects, aiming to both discover and discuss his intent and perspective as well as what insights can be gained from his approach.

The format of the presentation is expected to be a facilitated discussion, where those attending can engage with the content as it is presented, in a casual and relaxed environment. Those who have attended any of my presentations will find this familiar. A paper will be provided and ppt will be used.

The Trimorphic Ethoi of Psychological Types—Vicky Jo Varner
2022-10-09 09:00 - 10:00 (Australia/Melbourne)
Psychological Types is typically presented as a singular idea within one discipline. However, within that discipline, it can be discerned that there are three prevalent perspectives, or ethoi, in conveying the types. This session delves into these three different ethoi and relates them to the psychological types model, interspersed with interactive exercises to help attendees experience each of them and confront their differences. This presentation is academic in nature with cutting-edge content, so be prepared to immerse yourself in something that is philosophically challenging yet rewarding.

The Most Common Enneagram Types of Each MBTI Type—Joyce Meng
2022-10-09 09:00 - 10:00 UTC
The Most Common Enneagram Types of Each MBTI Type | How the Enneagram Intersects with the 16 Types

A current trend in the MBTI community is the heavy incorporation of the Enneagram.

The presentation will be geared around the most common Enneagram types for each of the 16 types. I describe an overview of the Enneagram types, how it overlays with the MBTI, and why it is becoming a trend in the MBTI community to combine these two systems.

The session outcome will be to teach people about the correlations between the Enneagram and MBTI and to teach the basics of the Enneagram. Audience members will walk away with a better understanding of type and why the Enneagram is becoming more popular in the MBTI community.

From Shadows to Showtime: Moving into the Light - Angelina Bennet
2023-09-01 09:00 - 10:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | Rydges Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, 601 Gregory Terrace, Bowen Hills, Queensland, 4006, Australia
Considering the nature of the shadow, how it is formed and how it can shed light on our untapped potential.

This session is a keynote at the From Shadows to Showtime Conference, 1-2 September in Brisbane. Further details below.

Although the pandemic wasn’t what anyone asked for, being in lock down did give me the opportunity to really tap into my introverted intuition and get creative. What started out as the need to fill a blank wall, ended up as a deep dive into my life stages using collage. The process helped me to see what parts of my personality had been set aside and what my ‘true self’ was about. In this session I will provide some theoretical insights into the nature and formation of the shadow – both the ‘dark’ and ‘light’ shadow – and how we can harness our untapped potential. This session will provide opportunities for participants to consider their own light shadow and is suited to Type users at all levels. In fact, you don’t even need to know about Type.

About Angelina Bennet

Angelina is a Chartered Occupational Psychologist and specializes in developing individuals through personality work. She has an occupational psychology business in the UK offering coaching, development and assessment. She also type qualification training through Type Pro Ltd. Her other areas of interest centre around people development include transpersonal coaching and the Enneagram. She is a past President of BAPT and the author of ‘The Shadows of Type – Psychological Type through Seven Levels of Development.’

Elvis Presley: Exploring the 8 Jungian functions & type development with Mary McGuiness
2023-09-02 13:30 - 14:45 (Australia/Brisbane) | Rydges Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, 601 Gregory Terrace, Bowen Hills, Queensland, 4006, Australia
Explore the life and music of Elvis Presley, his use of the 8 Jungian functions and type development. We will use the work of Gary & Margaret Hartzler to look at differences between poorly developed and well-developed functions.

This session is a keynote at the From Shadows to Showtime Conference, 1-2 September in Brisbane. Further details below.

Enjoy glimpses of the life and music of Elvis Presley as we explore the 8 Jungian functions and the process of personality development. Type theory tells us that we can use all the 8 Jungian functions (cognitive processes), but each type prefers certain functions and struggles to use and develop the others. Gary and Margaret Hartzler in Functions of Type list several skills associated with each of the 8 functions. These skills illustrate why a poorly developed function will be expressed differently to a function that is well developed. By looking at evidence from Elvis’s life, his music and his own words we will try to identify how he used each function, how his use of the functions changed over time, and how the changes were reflected in his music. And we will use the opportunity to reflect briefly on our own use of each function. This session will include theory, storytelling, some brief interaction and reflection, film and, of course music!

I don't know anything about Art, but I know what I like - Don Kampf
2024-07-20 13:30 - 16:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | The Epicentre, 427 Glen Eira Rd, CAULFIELD NORTH, Victoria, 3161, Australia
‘I don’t know anything about Art, but I know what I like.’ This seems a fair statement, and I wonder if Type strongly influences peoples’ likes or dislikes in Art?

Everyone has their own personal take on art in its many different forms. Some people are attracted to beauty, while others enjoy the darker side of the artistic world. Some are merely great at appreciating the talents of others – while some are amazing at partaking in their own creative abilities.

We’ll explore these aspects of psychological type and art in an in-person session in Melbourne with Don Kampf.

DON KAMPF, ENFP, gained psych degree and post-graduate qualifications and later taught at universities in Business and Law faculties, whilst operating consulting and coaching practices. Throughout, he retained an ongoing engagement with art, with frequent periods of active output in painting and drawing.

Don participated in many art workshops; through art groups and affiliations, the National Gallery Society, Centre for Adult Education and University of the Third Age. He also participated in many art exhibitions and shows including Camberwell Art Show, Darebin Art Show, Eight by Eight Art show, Glen Eira arts and culture, Ola Cohn Centre and extensive private showings.

Painting has been Don’s primary pursuit since 2017. Don is a tutor in Art at the University of the Third Age, Glen Eira. Some examples of Don’s art can be seen below and at https://www.facebook.com/don.kampf.3

‘10/10’ – Our Final AusAPT Annual Conference

AusAPT was conceived at a conference — the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator: Australian Perspectives conference, held in Melbourne in October 1991.

In October this year, we’ll be back in Melbourne for our 20th — and last — AusAPT conference.

In CB radio code, “10/10” means “transmission completed” — so it’s apt that we’ll gather on the tenth day of the tenth month for our final face-to-face conference, at Karstens Conference Centre in central Melbourne.

Our Friday conference program features distinguished figures from the world of personality type, locally and internationally — Sue Blair, Mark Toner, Alex MacFarlane, and one of AusAPT’s founders, Peter Malone.

We’ve kept the price of our 10/10 Conference low which includes lunch and post-conference drinks. Prices are:

Your conference registration also includes an invitation to our Thursday evening pre-conference Soirée Au Revoirée at the charming Epicentre in suburban Caulfield North.
