For
years people have asked how the MBTI® instrument
related to the DiSC®: instrument and the Social
Styles models. Now, here is the answer: The Four
Berens' Interaction Styles. This model of personality
addresses how we do what we do—our style of
interacting with others. The behaviors are very
visible and easily understood. The basics can be
introduced in 2-3 hours in a very safe way and can be
related to what has already been done in the
organization with other instruments. It makes a good
starting point to build up to the 16 Types or a new
way to honor individual differences.

About
the Training: Conflict is everywhere. When it is
well managed, it is the lifeblood of teams.
However, it more often leads to incredible
waste of time, loss of productivity, and even
contributes to distractions that compromise safety. We
all need to learn to deal with conflict so that it is
used productively. We need StyleShift™ skills that
give us the flexibility for better communication, more
effective leadership, and more productive teamwork.
