Please plan to join us on Tuesday, July 1st, for a presentation and group discussion as we explore the profound influence our individual personality type preferences have on our career and life choices.

Utilizing the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) instrument as the basis for our discussion, we will become better acquainted with the 16 personality “types” within the MBTI model and the implications of each regarding:

• Career choices and career progression
• Appetite for risk-taking and making significant life decisions
• Communication styles and potential sources of conflict in interpersonal relationships

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain some new insights on how our unique personality types impact the way each of us perceives the world around us, the way we make decisions based on those perceptions and how we can use that awareness to be more effective in our daily interactions both at home and in the workplace.
