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.

Pivoting is a skill we have all had to master over the past two years. Flexibility is the key, in our outlooks, our expectations and aspirations. Many of us have had plenty of time for introspection.
This gift of time has lead many of us to ask questions. Lots of them! This session explores how we can integrate the perceiving functions to find the wisdom we need to keep on track.
We will explore:
Cognitive function combinations
Helpful graphics to simplify our explanations
Questions which can be posed relating to each of the perceiving functions
The importance of intentional application of the functions

When parents first learn they are going to have a baby images of the child begin to form. Visions of playing and learning together are almost always positive. When the child arrives these hopes and dreams begin to be realized. Then the child walks and talks and has a mind of his own. Now the real job of parenting begins as the parents adjust their preconceived images to match the child and the child learns to manage his energies to develop into all he can be. This is the parenting dance everyone does, but the rhythms and tones are different for each parent/child combination.
This workshop explores common developmental challenges all children face and how type can play a part in the experience for the parent/child combination. After looking at the issue (such as the quest for independence at adolescence) educators will give examples of how this was expressed in the classroom and offer hints for working with the different types. Come enjoy a glimpse into the parenting dance with type differences for a few selected developmental milestones.
As part of our Type & Life Series, this event is online via Zoom, free and open to all.
You are invited to a Zoom meeting. When: Sep 18, 2022 10:00 AM Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

Mollie Allen
Erin Smith
Erin brings to the table more than 15 years of experience teaching and using type with adolescents. Her use of type in understanding students, communicating with students, and lesson preparation for different types has resulted in her being selected as a primary mentor every year. The top 20 academic students identify one person who was especially helpful in mentoring the student academically or personally. They write an essay about the person and celebrate at a dinner that honors the recipients. She was identified every year for the last 15 years, confirming her support for students and their success. In 2021 she was selected by the entire senior class as their most respected teacher. Her examples of what seems to work and not work with students of the different types is a basic element for this recognition. She also has two children of her own who have contributed to her understanding of working with type differences.
The language of personality, however presented, can be a minefield of meaning and use, essentially because there are no agreed definitions, interpretations, or perspectives, even in the niche field of psychological type. C.G. Jung chose general language for his constructs, a decision he later reflected on somewhat ruefully; what he meant in particular instances seems to have fallen by the wayside.
So, what is Personality? What is a Type, or a Function? How does Type relate to behaviour, interest or skill. Is Type neoliberal, whether we like it or not? Can there a Type response to pandemics, or conspiracy theories? These questions, and any others that turn up are the focus of a presentation by Peter Geyer, in a casual informal setting.
Peter Geyer
Peter Geyer has researched, taught and written about psychological type and related ideas for over 30 years. A former MBTI® and Majors Accrediter, he is the Custodian of AusAPT’s Type Research and Practice Collection.

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.
