Type and Exploring Personal Growth Pathways - Alex MacFarlane
2020-11-06 13:30 - 14:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online Event
Research regarding optimal human personal development has identified specific steps regarding this form of growth process experienced in one way or another by all humans. In an opposite vein, the research regarding the human deficiencies and dysfunctions we want to overcome indicates these crippling factors are individualised, not experienced by all, and are dependent on nature (our inborn cognitive preferences) and our nurture. This session will broadly outline dysfunctions typical for each psychological type and the overarching steps involved in optimal growth. It will then set about, by group discussion, to explore our individual lived experiences in this process.

Alex MacFarlane

Alex MacFarlane Alex MacFarlane is a clinical and consultant psychologist specialised in the application of psychological type and temperament as a core therapeutic tool in clinical practice and consulting. Her work has involved private practice, teaching, training, research and consulting. Her ongoing PhD studies the relationship of psychological type and pathways to optimal functioning.

Typing from Afar: Catherine the Great – Jane Kise + Ann Holm
2020-11-06 11:45 - 12:45 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online Event
Typing From Afar: Catherine the Great

While ethics say, “Let people decide their types for themselves,” we all type from afar. Type experts, real and professed “read” types, spot type in movie and book characters, and speculate about the preferences of public figures. So how do you do it accurately? Ethically? We’ll use Catherine the Great by Robert Massie as a case study. Why a long-ago Russian empress and her consorts? Because you can’t make up better stories with so many tantalizing type clues! We guarantee it will be a lively conversation as the presenters actually don’t agree on who is which type for our case study. Read Massie’s book in advance to be super prepared. If you don’t manage to get to the book (it’s a fantastic audio as well), try Wikipedia or view the 45-minute story of her on Biography.

The Magic Diamond: Coaching Type Development – Dario Nardi
2020-11-06 09:00 - 10:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online Event
How can we really encourage people to attend to type development? Traditionally, opposites are shown along a spectrum, implying people find a balancing point. But Jung observed a “transcendent” function that is a novel “alchemical” synthesis of opposites, leading to a new result. In this workshop, we use a Magic Diamond shape with four facets, such as Thinking, Feeling, undifferentiated, and synthesis. This shape invites people to fill in the synthesis facet. We will go over examples for the types and look at a typical coaching arc that goes from strengths to the shadow to overcoming one-sidedness through new habits.

Dario Nardi

Dario Nardi, PhD is an internationally renowned researcher, speaker, and instructor in neuroscience, personality, and education. He was certified in type in 1994 and has authored many books including ‘Neuroscience of Personality’, ‘8 Keys to Self-Leadership, ‘Jung on Yoga’, ’16 Personality Types: Descriptions for Self-Discovery’ and recently, ‘The Magic Diamond.’

The Interaction Styles framework, related to personality type, helps you understand how your emotions work when you interact with others – it’s a tool for being emotionally intelligent in the moment. Catherine will describe the core drives and beliefs of each style and how these can lead to conflict. Relating this to the Thomas-Kilmann conflict inventory, we will explore how awareness of your Interaction Style can help you manage conflict and adapt behaviour to build connections with others. The session will include discussion in break out groups.

Arche(Type) Tips for Thriving at Midlife – Katherine W Hirsh + Vicky Jo Varner
2020-11-05 18:30 - 19:30 (Australia/Sydney) | Online Event
Using psychological type and Jungian archetypes as a framework, we will reflect on the midlife journey through the parent and the orphan archetypes.

Join us to discover how putting your story into words and images can be a source of inspiration for meaningful change, type development and healing at midlife.

We will also explore the changes in Jung as he developed through midlife and beyond.

She has taught thousands of teachers, parents, students and businesses about the importance of self-awareness and communication. Learning and Thriving: Guided by Type Everyone knows someone who has struggled through the education system. The reasons for this are many and varied but the patterns we can see through the application of Type in the learning environment are proven, consistent and thought provoking. They are also somewhat alarming! As Type professionals we have the resources available to us to make a difference. This session will outline the challenges that exist and explore ways we can navigate the issues to find learning solutions that are diverse and effective.10:15 – 11:15amSuzanne Cremen Dr Suzanne Cremen worked in over 25 occupations including lawyer, screenwriter, publisher and career counsellor before earning her PhD in depth psychology. She serves as faculty at Pacifica Graduate Institute (USA), founded the Life Artistry Centre for Archetype, Imagination and Vocation (Australia), and is the author of From Career to Calling (Routledge).Soul-making Work in Dark Times: A Jungian View Drawing on Jungian depth psychology, this session outlines a new approach to questions of work, career and calling in the current era, through engaging with symbol, metaphor and imagination. Traditional career development practices tend to be biased towards Sensation and Thinking functions. Bringing a symbolic perspective to work can awaken imagination and shift perception of the vocational journey as more than a paycheck, but an opus of the soul. Individuals with a preference for Intuition are particularly suited to a vocational guidance approach which values the creative unconscious and imaginative potential, but at different life stages this approach may be valuable for all psychological types.11:45am – 12:45pmSterling Bates Sterling’s combination of technology, mathematics, business, marketing, OD & psychological types provides the ideal background for founding Step Research, a psychology software research and development company.

Visual Type is a visual diagram for each type. Using both Myers-Briggs type and Jungian functions in a way that makes preferences crystal clear to new users and teams. Visual Type lets people thrive by seeing where they, and their team, prefer to spend their time and how it affects their decisions when combined with the 8 function Z model process. Step Research has pioneered a new way to visualize Myers-Briggs types, Jungian functions and how it fits together for a person and a team.1:15 – 2:15pm AEDTBrian Lawrence Brian has worked internationally in the educational, corporate and diplomatic sectors for over 15 years.

Dancing with Your Inner Wolves: Understanding and Developing your Eight Inner Heroes Imagine your personality as the primal forces that govern how you perceive the world, decide on your life trail, where you get your energy, how you relate to people. This is the story of personality type as you know it framed in a more powerful, natural essence – the story of your Inner Wolves. Get to know your eight ‘Heroes’ and how they operate in the world. Find out how to tame them to become a more versatile, flexible, holistic human being. Brian will demonstrate how we can understand both our Conscious Wolves as well as our Unconscious, ‘Shadow Wolves’.

Webinar: Growth/Development Experiences – Transcending our ‘Risks’
2020-08-02 13:00 - 16:30 (Australia/Sydney) | Online Event
Growth/Development Experiences – Transcending our ‘Risks’ with Alex MacFarlane

This online interactive facilitation is also part group discussion and information-giving workshop. It explores components that assist in attaining a deeper shift into self-transformation, wellness, and thriving. Self-transformation/maturation/personal development research has demonstrated that this process has components to it that are both specific for specific types as well as components that are more general across types. This session will focus upon ways and means we have overcome some of our “risks” inherited via both nature (type and temperament) and nurture. It will focus upon two overarching questions:

1. What have seemed to be my ‘Risks’ and how have I matured in overcoming or managing them?

2. What experiences….circumstances or events in my life have been catalysts to growth?

Alex MacFarlane

Our previous online sessions have been interactive, fun and informative. So join us for ‘Talking About My Type: the Inferior Function’ from the comfort of your home!

Personality Parts™ - New Perspectives on Type with Richard Owen
2020-06-17 19:00 - 21:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Online Event
Richard Owen from the UK presents a 2-hour introductory talk online for AusAPT members and guests who are already experienced and knowledgeable about type. The Personality Parts™ model is Richard’s work towards his conceptualisation and expansion of John Beebe’s 8 function/8 archetype model. It goes right back to the fundamental theory of Jung, Beebe and MBTI, challenging the way we have done things before and integrating broader psychological ideas, towards new foundations that will take type forwards in its second 100 years. Be prepared to revisit some key questions: what is type? how does it come about? what is the unconscious mind? how does it affect my experience and relationships?

Richard Owen

In this workshop, you will pick up tips, tools and resources to use this lens of type with your clients, both individuals and teams.

Your presenter, Catherine Stothart, is a Leadership Coach and Team Consultant, based in the UK, with clients including Airbus, in the high technology and engineering sectors.

We will explore how people’s brains compare when working together. Anecdotes and colorful slides will convey key lessons for organizations and leaders. This is based on 13 years of imaging data on diverse teams. Beyond type, individual differences and type development also matter. Imogen Lamport and Jill Chivers 16 Style Types – More Than Skin Deep What you wear communicates before you open your mouth. This session is for anyone who wears clothing and is interested to learn more about how your clothing affects your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, the way style and psychological type are deeply connected, and how your style can be expressed in an authentic way. Sue Blair Learning Challenges and Misinterpretations Everyone knows someone who has struggled through the education system. There are many reasons for this, but the patterns we can see through the application of Type are proven, consistent, thought-provoking and somewhat alarming! This session will outline the challenges and explore ways to navigate the issues to find diverse and effective solutions. Alex MacFarlane Deeper Understanding of Holistic Mental Health and Growth from a Temperament and Type Perspective Over the past decade there has been an increasing depth of understanding of the links between mental and physical health and personal growth from a holistic (mind-body-spirit) position. This presentation will discuss these links as they relate to psychological type, temperament, stages of development, and the individuation process. Daniel Blashki The Monomyth in Media: How Type Influences our Hero’s Journey Modern media takes myth and recognisable patterns of type behaviour to create relatable stories with which we resonate. Delve into the Campbell’s monomyth and collective archetypal patterns through examples in Game of Thrones and popular film franchises, with ‘choose-your-own-adventure’ heroic round-table activities that investigate type preferences in the call to adventure of your own journey. Peter Malone Can I Use Movies to Explore Type? Insights into how movies dramatize Type, discussion, helps for techniques in conducting sessions. We check our responses to movies, look at and discuss clips illustrating aspects of Type, try our abilities at recognising aspects without any labelling, formulate a method for leading seminars on Type and Movies. For all practitioners – and movie buffs! Sue White Type Goes to Book Group Merve Emre’s book ‘What’s Your Type?’ is a controversial new publication about the MBTI. It made my mind buzz and I’m keen to discuss that buzz with other readers.

Evelynne Joffe The Fool’s Journey using Tarot Archetypes We will explore the Fool’s Journey using archetypes of the Major Arcana of the Tarot and the process towards individuation and wholeness through the journey. Each of these 22 cards represents a lesson the soul must learn in order to individuate, to become an authentic Self. Sterling Bates Going into Best Fit – We Are All Doing it Wrong As type experts, it’s critical to help others go through a “best- fit” process. What if the type community is approaching best-fit from the wrong direction for the 21st century? Discover what years of research have revealed about using digital games, tools and technology in best-fit. Learn what still works from the old best-fit process. Mary McGuiness Transformation at Midlife: The Transcendent Function The Individuation process integrates the contents of the unconscious and brings together all aspects of the individual into a complete, whole and conscious Self. At midlife this leads to the emergence of the Transcendent Function. bringing a new consciousness of soul. In this session, we will explore this process and how to facilitate this transformation. Meredith Fuller and Brian Walsh LOVE: Family of ORIGIN and Partner Attraction We will look at family of origin Types (the family you grew up with), and the nature of your relationship with each member – did you go with, go against, or withdraw from? How might these themes relate to that unconscious instant attraction we feel towards potential partners? Privately, participants will draw family trees, have a guesstimate of family members (for those of us who haven’t already typed them!) and explore the relationship dynamics. Jane Kise Three Keys to Effective Type Exercises Making type visible through exercises is a key tool for helping individuals and teams improve ability to communicate, collaborate, and change. However, there’s a world of difference between conducting an exercise and facilitating it successfully to change people’s mindsets. We’ll explore how to choose the “right” exercise, form groups (especially when not all types are present), and debrief.

Here is the detailed session information for Day 2 23 November:

Presenter
Session Title

Description
Roger Pearman Evidence of the Validity of Type from Multi-Rater Data Breakfast Session: Virtual presentation of a summary report of 360 data collected from people around the globe to look at evidence of the validity of Type. The first public presentation of this information, the international TypeStudy Research Project was designed to collect both self-report and observer-report data which provides useful evidence for considering the validity of Type. Ian Ball John Beebe’s Eight Function-Attitude Archetype Model – Revisited The session draws on materials developed by the late Andrew Gibson and recent writing by Mark Hunziker. The model identifies archetypes that guide the way the eight function-attitudes are expressed within a single, individual psyche. Two case studies: ISFP and ENFJ will illustrate the model. Does this model advance our understanding of ourselves and others? Sue DanielsThe Influence of Type on Career Success Today’s careers are influenced by many external factors that are out of our control such as: globalisation; corporate change and technology. However, internal factors such as preferences, can influence career satisfaction. This session will explore techniques and tips on how to apply type knowledge in a career context, at any stage of your work life. Susan Nash Temperament Separate to Type – An Additional Tool for Enhancing Type Applications Temperament is a separate type theory that provides an understanding of four patterns of differing needs, values, talents and behaviors. In this session, we will explore how to apply Temperament to clarify best-fit type, provide new applications for type-knowledgeable groups, introduce Temperament to new groups, and understand innate stress patterns and responses. Kay Distel The Elusive Other – Coming to our Senses and Cognition Have you ever felt what a person is saying is not sinking in? Or have you been told to listen when you thought you were? Mishear what people are saying? We will unpack these issues by experiences of deep listening; explore our physiology, its impact on personality and interactions to broaden your understanding of the connection between self-regulation, and mindfulness. Expect to participate in a serious and fun presentation! Julie Andrews Alone Together: Artist in Transit This session focuses on research undertaken on a train carriage, a trance inducing in-between space, where passengers were encouraged to draw what they think, feel or see, while travelling. This session includes a drawing activity that asks you to consider how art in everyday spaces might enhance our noticing and appreciation of the liminal experience. Rhonda Sparks-Tranks Developing the “We and the I” with the KGI™ – using the Klein Group Instrument for Effective Leadership and Participation in Teams Explore how you can use this cost-effective, MBTI-correlated assessment instrument in counselling, coaching, training and team development. How do the model, scales and structure of the reports work to transform leadership and empower teams? Samples and case studies will deepen understanding. Approaches and techniques developed by Rhonda and Dr Robert Klein will be shared. Peter Geyer A Dispassionate Look at Psychological Type and Emotion Psychological type and emotions are not merely topics for questionnaires; they represent particular aspects of personality within a range of interpretations, especially for emotions. These differences for both type and emotion are explained in this session, as well as how emotions can play out in a type context. Terri Connellan Learned Wisdom: Journeys in Type and Transition Presentation, discussion and activity-based session exploring perspectives from personal experience, life coaching and applications of type to support positive life transitions. It shows how type provides a practical framework for deepening strengths and self-leadership and for harnessing less-preferred areas to provide balance for a more wholehearted life. Catherine Stothart Closing the Influence Gap How Type helps you get on better with yourself and others How is it that we don’t always achieve the outcomes we want when we interact with others? There is often a disconnect between our positive intentions and the sometimes less than positive impact we have on others. We will discuss how the Interaction Styles framework helps us to be more emotionally intelligent and close the influence gap.

Priming the Alchemy of Opposites - Dario Nardi
2019-11-21 13:00 - 16:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | Amora Riverwalk Hotel in Melbourne, 649 Bridge Road, Richmond, Victoria, 3121, Australia
How can we overcome one-sidedness and integrate opposing functions into our lives? For example, what might Thinking and Feeling look like when we use them in an integrated way in our daily lives? Jung described the tension of opposites as a source of energy and means to growth. But what does this process and its fruits look like in practice? In this session, we explore type-specific ways to identify, foster, and transform tensions in healthy, rewarding ways. We draw on “tandem dynamics”, the “spine of the personality”, and the “wisdom of the 6th function”. Includes reflective activities, sharing, and professional color handouts for use in your own workshops.

Here is an article as background: Wisdom on the Senex/Witch

Your presenter Dario Nardi, PhD is world-renowned for his research on the neuroscience of personality. He is the CEO of Radiance House, author of numerous Type books, and senior lecturer at the University of California (Los Angeles).

AusAPT pre-conference on HANDscapes and Type with Liz Hallows – free to conference participants.

Join in HANDscapes Action Research using your Palm Prints & Photos to compare YOU with Type-alike hands common to your MBTI® preference code. Liz’s day workshop focuses on C.G.

This is your opportunity to explore and share how you consciously use your Judging function – Extraverted and Introverted.

About your presenter, Liz Hallows, MEd (Counselling)

Since 1969 (maybe due to the moon landing) I am passionate about observing Primate hands from around the world where I have lived. I have pondered how science could investigate correlations with Character assessments and Body features. In 1997 I designed my HANDscapes Research Method to pass my Masters in Education degree at QUT! I set out to prove the null hypothesis: No hand feature out of a possible 235 could correlate with character assessment as set out in Palmistry claims. Since cognition underpins our behaviours, I regarded the Jungian theory as best approach. Since the MBTI® and related questionnaires sort cognition preferences, I chose them to use as the best, most validated global research tool to correlate with permanent hand features. After 21 years of collecting Volunteer palm prints along with their MBTI® self-validated Results, I have one feature, our Upper Transverse Crease, as a significant indicator of Jung’s theory stating we have a directional orientation in our judging function. To add to HANDscapes database, please email me with clearly focused palm photos of your clients/family and their Type scores and clarity of preferences. EMAIL: hallowshandscapes@yahoo.com.
