The Most Common Enneagram Types of Each MBTI Type | How the Enneagram Intersects with the 16 Types
A current trend in the MBTI community is the heavy incorporation of the Enneagram.
The presentation will be geared around the most common Enneagram types for each of the 16 types. I describe an overview of the Enneagram types, how it overlays with the MBTI, and why it is becoming a trend in the MBTI community to combine these two systems.
The session outcome will be to teach people about the correlations between the Enneagram and MBTI and to teach the basics of the Enneagram. Audience members will walk away with a better understanding of type and why the Enneagram is becoming more popular in the MBTI community.

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.

Psychological Types is typically presented as a singular idea within one discipline. However, within that discipline, it can be discerned that there are three prevalent perspectives, or ethoi, in conveying the types. This session delves into these three different ethoi and relates them to the psychological types model, interspersed with interactive exercises to help attendees experience each of them and confront their differences. This presentation is academic in nature with cutting-edge content, so be prepared to immerse yourself in something that is philosophically challenging yet rewarding.

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.

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.

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.
