Motivation in the age of uncertainty - Catherine Stothart
2021-11-12 18:30 - 19:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online Event
Feeling motivated is an essential part of mental health and well-being but many people do not know what really motivates them or how to sustain their motivation. Temperament theory is a perfect tool to help our clients connect to their sense of purpose. But motivation is also about persistence and resilience. Catherine will share an approach to motivation which links temperament theory to academic theories of motivation. In temperament groups, we will explore the beliefs that can act as accelerators or brakes on our performance and work out strategies for persistence and resilience which fit with who we are. By bridging the gap between the temperament lens of type and academia we can bring the benefits of both worlds to our clients to enable them to live more fulfilled lives. This creates a powerful combination for practical action to sustain our motivation and well-being in our uncertain world. The session will be interactive with break out groups and activities.

Friend or foe? The Inferior Function - Angelina Bennet
2021-11-12 19:45 - 20:45 | Online Event
The inferior function – sometimes called the 4th function – is one of the most fascinating aspects of our psyche. It is often overlooked as it does not feature in our type code and it tends to be regarded as the “not me” side of our personality. Yet it has an almost continuous presence in our everyday lives. Many people are familiar with Naomi Quenk’s ‘In the Grip’ theory, in which the inferior function erupts during stress; however, it makes its presence felt in many other situations, although we may not consciously be aware of it. In this session, I will invite the audience to consider the different roles that their inferior function takes in their lives, and how it can be a hindrance, a source of negative perception, a haven, a source of excitement, and a gateway for development.

Talking Theory Together - Richard Owen
2021-11-12 19:45 - 20:45 | Online Event
With a divergence of type theory between Jung, MBTI and many individual experts in the field, is there a way to create a cohesive revised narrative to carry type forward into its second century? Can we successfully reintegrate with mainstream personality psychology? How can type be reinterpreted and positioned in a way that makes it more acceptable to critics? Richard will discuss several key issues in type theory and some of his proposed solutions to them.

Four Flavors of Type - Dario Nardi
2021-11-13 09:00 - 10:00 | Online Event
What flavor of your type are you?Having an answer can make a difference. Some people really puzzle over their best-fit type. Or, they feel unusual for their type, perhaps as a result of upbringing or type development. Or, they are making a career change and want extra advice. What’s the saying, “Every ENFP is like every other ENFP, like some other ENFPs, and like no other ENFP.” Some differences are small, and some really matter.Lately, research is coming together on flavors of type. Neuroscience data supports that people use their brains in ways that meet their type preferences. They also develop in ways that reflect their cultural upbringing, career choice, and more. These brain differences sort into clusters or as 4 cardinal points around a wheel. We will explore 4 flavors of type: Dominant, Creative, Normalizing or Harmonizing. (Thanks Dr. Victor Gulenko for these names.) This includes examples from specific types and reference materials that you can use.

Dario Nardi

Dario Nardi, Ph.D. is a renowned author and researcher in neuroscience, personality, and body-mind practices. He won Distinguished Teacher of the year in 2011 while at UCLA.

What Type can Teach us as Writers - Terri Connellan
2021-11-13 10:15 - 11:15 | Online Event
How can insights from type help us grow in self-awareness and practice as writers so we can best express our work in the world? How do our type preferences influence how we write and what we write? How can we use these insights to help us grow and write more effectively? Using frameworks from type, creativity and writing, we look at writing identity and natural preferences as well as potential writing blocks. You will be guided to reflect on your writing process and its strengths and less preferred areas and strategies that might assist you to write more productively. You will build a map of personal strengths and areas for growth as a tool to increase your writing confidence, productivity, creative awareness and output. With stronger self-understanding as a writer, you will be more self-compassionate and positive rather than self-critical.

From Type to Psyche, Self and Soul - David Pool
2021-11-13 10:15 - 11:15 | Online Event
We will examine some of the psychological ideas related to Carl Jung’s dynamic model of the human psyche. Special attention will be paid to the place type plays in the current scholarly landscape. By critically examining different perspectives on the psyche, the soul, and the self we will attempt a fresh exploration of what type is with an aim to break free of habitual and ingrained assumptions, beliefs and dogmas.

In addition to examining questions like “what is type?”, “what is the role of the unconscious?” and “what is attitude?” we will explore the experience of pursuing a PhD in Jungian psychology. You may wonder how receptive Jungian and Archetypal psychology is to Type notions. The answer is a mixed bag. Finally we’ll touch upon some intriguing and controversial ideas about the difference between classification into categories and a structural functional model of the human psyche – moving from the typical to the unique.

David Pool

David PoolDavid Pool has a Bachelors degree in Psychology and multiple type certifications. He is enrolled in the Depth, Jungian and Archetypal studies doctoral program at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Carpenteria California. This viewpoint into Jungian studies, the Type community, and mainstream academia grounds David’s viewpoint in three separate disciplines. David’s thesis is that an underlying psyche stands at the center of these three streams, his mission is to unite the different approaches while exercising a critical analytical approach.

Type and Stress: Your Type and Mind-Body Connections - Katie Jones
2021-11-13 10:15 - 11:15
Our minds and bodies are intricately connected, and our brain’s main job is to keep us alive and safe from threats. In this interactive workshop, we will use an understanding of both the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, as well as research about how the mind and body are connected, to better understand unique stressors and ways to proactively and reactively respond to stress through both of these tools.

Developing a deeper understanding of stressors and how to recover from stress is important for self-understanding, leadership, and growth, as well as a key to understanding others. Leaders at all levels can use this information to help create psychologically safer spaces for their teams, which Google’s Project Aristotle found as one of the keys to team success. Stress is inevitable, but it is not the end of the story!

Type Development: 10 Things You Must Do (If you are serious) - Roger Pearman
2021-11-13 11:45 - 12:45 | Online Event
Type development is about knowing your type pattern and being able to identify and access those functions on which you don’t regularly rely. While identifying these functions (Si, Se, Ni, Ne, Ti, Te, Fi, Fe) is cognitively easy, accessing and using them requires more work. This presentation will look at 10 tactics from a variety of sources which will enable the participant to explore all of the type functions for development to boost psychological agility. In a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) age, we cannot afford to be one-sided in our psychological mindset. Development is about working to know and use all of the mental resources we have available.

As an archipelago, Japan has kept its cultural independence for well over a millennium. Incorporating Buddhist influences from China, Japan still maintains a unique spiritual and cultural core that remains present to this day. Using typology, this talk will explore questions such as: Does bushido (the samurai code of honour) reveal any cultural type preferences? What type preferences does modern Japan have? And in what ways are those current dominant preferences rooted in Japan’s culture of 1000 years ago?

Stress and Resilience in the World of Covid-19 - Mary McGuiness
2021-11-13 14:45 - 15:45
The world has experienced enormous change and stress in 2020 and 2021. Covid-19 has impacted on our personal lives, family life, work life, social life and, for some, our physical and/or emotional health. People have responded in many different ways. Type theory suggests that each type will experience the stress differently and will likely use different strategies to cope. Let’s explore how the changes have impacted on us to see what impact personality type has had. We will also look more broadly at what Jung and type can tell us about stress and resilience. What does the theory say about stress for each type? And, more importantly, how do we take care of ourselves, and each other, so that we keep some balance in our lives and can learn something from the experience.

Talking Type Together with your Vital Relationships - Sterling Bates
2021-11-14 11:45 - 12:45 | Online Event
Scientific studies continue to show that the biggest impact on life satisfaction and happiness is our vital relationships and core social bonds. Medical studies show relationship strength as a major factor in long term health outcomes. Learn what some of this research has to say about the crucial importance of relationships. We will cover multiple models, both psychological type models and other relationship-related tools from outside the psychological type space. We will highlight which models offer insights for relationships and also cover which models and strategies don’t work well for building strong relationships. Attendees will get key tools and tips on how to use the different models to help their own relationships and further, help those they care about, or their clients in their relationships too.

Sharing your Knowledge in a Podcasting and YouTube World - Joel Mark Witt & Antonia Dodge
2021-11-14 13:15 - 14:15 | Online Event
The internet is forcing type communities to change & grow… fast.

On one side of the type community we see a seasoned generation of type professionals who have spent years refining their knowledge & wisdom. On the other side are young people eager to express and share their newly discovered love of type on every major social media platform.

Young people are excited about type & want to talk about it on podcasts, YouTube videos, and Facebook posts. But often these new “influencers” are unaware that typology is a mature discipline with years of research, development, and commerce baked into its ethos.

How do we preserve what has come before while adapting to the changing new media landscape?

In this presentation Joel & Antonia guide us through the practical steps they’ve used to bridge this gap. As podcast hosts, they will peel back the curtain of new media to showcase ideas you can use in your practice whether you are just getting started or have been teaching type for decades.

Practical Applications of Jung's Theory and the Eight Mental Processes in a World of Remote Work
2022-03-06 10:00 - 12:00 | Online Event
Presented by Cynthia S. Paris, President, The People Skills Group

Join us for a free two hour workshop with Cindy Paris in the first of our Sunday Series events in 2022.

As practitioners, we are learning more and more that the gold, the real power, of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, comes from the theory behind the instrument, Psychological Types. However, as practitioners, we are often challenged to teach and practically apply Jung’s Eight Functions (Mental Processes, Cognitive Processes) with teams and leaders when participants are used to thinking in terms of the 4-letters of Type and MBTI Preferences. This is especially true in a world where many teams are working remotely and there is a lot to achieve in a short time frame.

In this program, participants will learn how to introduce Jung’s theoretical framework and the mental processes through quick and easy techniques and exercises using our road tested and vetted tools for integrating the 8 Jungian Functions into applications. We will introduce how to adapt and facilitate these exercises (some of which are well-known and quite often used, like the Z-Problem solving model) with remote teams using Zoom breakout rooms and third-party applications.

Participants will walk away with handouts and fresh ideas for facilitating Psychological Types for effective teamwork and leadership development in our new, and often remote, world of work.

We know that there are many instruments out there that our clients can select. The big question is, how do we get them to select a Type instrument and make Type a permanent part of their culture? And, how can we get them to book us for return engagements?

Sharon W. Lovoy, SPHR, (ENFP) a former Human Resources Director, who has had a thriving consulting business since 1991, has found ways to encourage her clients to use Type instead of other instruments or, in addition to other instruments. She has discovered many ways to make Type, and her company, part of an organization’s culture including volunteering to extend Type training to the families of those who participate at the company, embedding Type in the organizations’ culture and life.

Sharon believes as Type Practitioners, we all need to be on a mission to make sure that we stay in the conversation and, become an essential part of the conversation. She is happy to share what she has learned and to engage the Type Community in thinking together strategically about how we can gain more ground in the corporate training landscape.

Cognitive Functions and Enneagram: Complementary Power - Teodora Paucean￼
2022-10-07 18:30 - 19:30
This session promotes the usage of type (cognitive functions) and Enneagram together, as two systems that can complement each other beautifully in the process of improving emotional well-being, as well as relational and professional satisfaction. Both theoretical concepts and practical implications will be covered.

The presentation will first focus on describing theoretical ideas related to both cognitive functions and Enneagram and then, it will explore the interplay between these two systems in one’s personal development journey. Case studies will be presented to illustrate how people with the same four-letter code might take a different approach in their personal development journey if they have a different Enneagram type.

The last 15 minutes of the session will be dedicated to discussion and questions.

Temperament: Tradition or Trend? - Catherine Stothart
2022-10-07 18:30 - 19:30
Temperament: Tradition or Trend? Bringing Temperament up to date for 21st Century Leaders

Thirty years ago, few people talked of emotional intelligence, neuroscience, positive psychology, or mental well-being. Now there is widespread interest in popular psychology, and people are much more aware of their psychological needs.

Thirty years ago, leaders in organisations could operate in a command and control way. Now millennials want their leaders to be empathic. The role of the leader-manager is now less an overseer of task completion and more an enabler of self-motivation.

In this context, temperament – which explains why we do what we do – is the perfect tool to enable leaders to lead their team to fulfil their purpose and potential. Catherine’s approach to temperament links our core psychological needs to the essential leadership capabilities of engaging, developing, delegating and connecting. In this session she will share a practical toolkit to enable leaders to motivate their teams, improve their well-being and feel motivated themselves.

Midlife Development: A Crisis? A Crash? Or a Cruise? - Angelina Bennet￼
2022-10-07 19:45 - 20:45
Midlife is a time when many of us take stock of our life and think about what we want for our future. In this session we will review theories of midlife from the type perspective, consider the possible accelerating impact of the pandemic, and consider how to craft the life we want for ourselves.

After reviewing some of the theories of Type Development, particularly around midlife, we will take a look at the facts that influence our midlife development. With the opportunity to have some small group discussions, participants will be able to share experiences and thoughts on the mid-life stage.

Against the Tide: Repositioning the 8 Functions in Psychology—Richard Owen
2022-10-07 19:45 - 20:45
Since C.G. Jung first described his 8 types of mental processing over 100 years ago, they were at first neglected, then later taken up again and developed by type theorists and practitioners. However as Jung’s work was widely disregarded by mainstream psychology academia, there has been little reconciliation between type theory and areas such as cognitive psychology or modern consciousness studies. In this presentation Richard will share some ideas from his ongoing work on identifying analogous concepts relating to the 8 functions, in an effort towards reintegrating type and the mainstream.
