Tips and Tools for Using Interaction Styles - Catherine Stothart
2019-11-24 09:00 - 12:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | The Epicentre, 427 Glen Eira Rd, CAULFIELD NORTH, Victoria, 3161, Australia
This is an opportunity to experience the process Catherine uses when introducing Interaction Styles to her coaching and team clients. Interaction Styles is a practical tool for emotional intelligence and its unique value lies in linking outer behaviour with inner drives and stressors. It helps people understand how their emotions work when they interact with others, and how to adapt their behaviour to connect better. People get it quickly and can apply the insights immediately. 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. She also works with schools and colleges introducing them to personality type. Catherine has 25 years’ experience of personality type and her first book, How to Get On with Anyone, was published by Pearson in 2018. It’s a practical guide to using the Interaction Styles framework to build better relationships at work and at home.

Presenter Session Title Description Dario Nardi Brains, Type, and Teams in Organizations Who gets on well with whom? Is there a neuroscience of teams? 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. Bring your own copy (cost approx 32.99AUD) and let’s have a stimulating Book Group responding and exploring the content, ideas and criticisms she raises, and you’ve identified! 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 | 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).

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.
