Relationships & Type:
Caring, Conflict & Meaning
An APT International eLearning Program

October 25 – November 14, 2010
Online


How do Type preferences impact who you are in relationships? What are your goals for yourself and your loved ones? Through the examination of preferences, the MBTI® Tool helps clarify and make conscious the motivations that surround how we like to give and receive care, how we define and approach conflict, as well as how we can derive meaning from our connections and disconnections with others. This course is designed to help you become more aware of the role Type preferences play in your relationships as well as assist you in helping others (e.g., clients, or loved ones) become aware of the same in their relationships. Combining active participation and reflective analysis, participants will begin the exploration process by identifying what is most important to them in relationships; clarifying their needs and expectations; and acknowledging and embracing their relationship style and how that style interacts with those of others. Join us and take part in an exploration that honors the complexity and richness of relationships.

The class will use the APT Blackboard interactive learning site for Discussion Board postings and will use both reflective writing exercises and online discussion to maximize learning. The expectation is that you will be able to log in at some point during each day, or every other day at least, in order to post your own assignments and to respond to the posts of others. THERE ARE NO SET CLASS TIMES. You can post at whatever time of day is convenient for you, whether 2 am or 2 pm, but it is best not to let more than one day go by without posting.

☛ Total time commitment = approx 8 hours over three weeks
☛ Space limit = 20 participants
☛ CE Credits = 8 MBTI® Master Practitioner, NBCC, and APA


Type Tools and Tips for Enhancing Decision Making
This was a blast to run - you can now order a DVD recording, see below


Do the decisions of your decision-making partners occasionally leave you perplexed? Do you ever wonder about what motivates others during decision making? Do your own decisions, at times, catch you by surprise? This webinar explores the ways in which personality preferences influence how individuals typically make decisions. It is designed to help you make better decisions and understand more about how others approach decision making through the application of type theory. Using an in-depth case study, we outline strengths and challenges for decision makers that flow from psychological type and demonstrate how type can illuminate similarities and differences in decision-making style. The case study also serves to illustrate how type can provide a neutral language in which to discuss difficult decisions and lessen the conflicts that can erupt during the decision-making process.

In addition to the importance of exploring your style in relation to that of your decision making partners, delving into the gifts and challenges your preferences bring can help you to become a more balanced decision maker. Good decision making requires attention to all eight preferences, the four represented by the letters type in your code as well as their four less practiced and less familiar opposites. With this in mind, we provide type development tips that promote decision-making excellence. Join us for an opportunity to reflect on your assumptions about decision making and leave with strategies that can be applied immediately to improve individual and group decision making for decisions large and small, personal and professional.

Objectives

* Highlight ways in which psychological type influences decision making
* Suggest how type knowledge can help reduce conflict during decision making
* Explore methods for improving individual and group decision making
* Make decision making more fun (or at least less stressful!)

This webinar is for anyone interested in exploring the impact of personality preferences on decision making and more specifically, practitioners and leaders – managers counselors, consultants, coaches, trainers, human resource professionals, educators, etc. – who want to help their colleagues and/​or clients develop their decision making.
