Working with teams under stress can be tricky business. If you can see the correlation between their preferences and what they’re saying about each other and struggling with, then you can walk into that room as a healing force and make a real difference. But first, “Healer, heal thyself.” Hear one practitioner’s experience with Temperament Theory and Field Theory that saved a team—but first, she had to use it to save herself.
Objectives: Participants will learn how to:
- Use the Type Table to get a handle on the core of the team’s issue
- Use Temperament Theory to analyze the issues of a struggling team and devise a way to help both of them get past their Temperament-related blind spots.
- Depersonalize the event so that everyone can hear what you’re saying.
- Use “self as agent” awareness to get yourself out of the way so that you can help the team have a breakthrough.
