Elvis Presley: Exploring the 8 Jungian functions & type development with Mary McGuiness

September 2, 2023 @ 1:30 pm – 2:45 pm Australia/Brisbane

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!

About Mary McGuiness

She is founding Director of the Institute for Type Development, est.1986, providing advanced training for type professionals and consulting to organisations.

Creating a Type Community and Business in Japan—Harumi Gondo

October 8, 2022 @ 2:45 pm – 3:45 pm Australia/Sydney

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.

Harumi Gondo

Harumi Gondo was certified in MBTI in 2013 and began training others in Type the day after she was certified. She has over 8000 hours of training experience. She established a type-based community in Japan and founded a company that runs training for companies.

This is a session at the Time & Tide—Traditions and Trends in Type conference, 7-9 October online. It is one of 17 sessions presented over 3 days, all recorded in case you can’t attend live. It is $100AU for AusAPT members and other APT and ILP financial members. $150 for guests for the entire program. We hope you will join us. The conference event link with full details is below.

Underutilized Oppositions in the Lenses We Use—Sterling Bates

October 8, 2022 @ 10:15 am – 11:15 am Australia/Sydney

Underutilized Oppositions in the Lenses We Use: Essential Motivators and Interaction Styles with Sterling Bates

A talk about an underutilized resource in the world of psychological type, the 6 dynamics from Essential Motivators (Temperament) and Interaction Styles. They are powerful both in helping you flex to meet someone else’s needs and to discover points of commonality. For example, every Essential Motivator has both a dynamic that aligns with and two dynamics where they are opposing with the other three Essential Motivators. Like Polarity Thinking, a key to using dynamics is knowing when it is the right time to flex, and when it is the right time to rely on your naturally preferred dynamic.

In this session, I will familiarize attendees with the dynamics; those unfamiliar will get a great grounding in the dynamics; and provide tips and tricks attendees can use themselves as well as activities to use in their personal life and with clients. This will include uses in whole type best-fit, communication, work problems, delegation, Situational Leadership®, and relationship issues.

Type in Tandem: The Magical Alchemy of Connecting Opposing Functions – Sue Blair

October 8, 2022 @ 9:00 am – 10:00 am Australia/Sydney

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

Managing Energy – Dario Nardi

October 7, 2022 @ 5:15 pm – 6:15 pm Australia/Sydney

How can we better manage energy? We will address this question several ways. First, our tertiary function is a “neurotic boundary” area that needs care. Second, our favourite perceiving function plays a major role. And third is the “yin” side of our inferior function. Includes handouts.

His books and training materials include Neuroscience of Personality, Jung on Yoga, The Magic Diamond, and many others.
