Skills For Success

Personality Type theory is based on the notion that we are born with certain behavioural patterns. There are four temperaments and 16 personality patterns. While any personality theory does not explain everything about an individual it is a powerful indicator of his or her values, needs, abilities and strengths. Gaining an understanding of your own temperament and/or personality type increases self-esteem and confidence. Gaining an understanding of those around you improves communication and relationships. Such an understanding can lead to excellent performance and interpersonal effectiveness.

Our Approach Is Hands-On, Self Discovery

We offer workshops based on powerful self-assessment personality instruments that encourage participants to learn more about themselves in order to achieve their personal and professional goals. There are three separate yet overlapping models from which to choose. Exploring any, or all of them, helps provide answers to how and why we behave in certain ways. They act as a guide for growth and development. The three models are:

Personality Dimensions ™ or True Colors ™ (Temperament Theory)

While True Colors ™ continues to be popular; Personality Dimensions ™ is an updated Canadian version that is gaining wide acceptance in Canada. Temperament theory explains the reason for your behaviour, your sources of deep psychological satisfaction, and your sources of stress. These instruments use colour as a metaphor for the four temperaments. As a participant you will explore your basic needs and values, abilities and behaviours that can in turn lead to personal growth and development.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator ™ (Cognitive Dynamics)

The MBTI describes 16 personalities based on thought processes and their development. As a participant you will have the opportunity to determine your specific personality. Understanding the way you think can increase your ability to communicate with others as well as help you in creative problem solving.

Interpersonal Relationship Needs (FIRO-B ™)

This personality instrument is based on the theory that we each have unique interpersonal needs. It measures how we behave with others and how we expect others to behave toward us. Just as with our biological needs, we are uncomfortable and stressed if our unique set of interpersonal needs is not being met. As a participant in this workshop you will discover what unique interpersonal needs motivate you.
