5 August - Understanding your Type: how an insight to Myers Briggs Type Indicator can lead to better self-management through heightened self-awareness with Robin Hills
robin_reflect
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a method of personality profiling that helps people to explore their preferences for taking in information and making decisions. It also looks at where people prefer to focus their attention, and how they prefer to live their lives giving information about preferred styles of working and interacting with others.

The session will give a basic overview of type theory supplemented with interactive exercises in order to experience differences in personality preferences. Whether Myers Briggs Type Indicator is new to you or you have a lot of experience using this powerful tool the session will offer something that can be used in your work or home life.

7 October - Introducing "The Leader Self" - an experience in congruency between Mind, Heart and Soul with Pete Middleton
senseable_reflect
There is a dynamic relationship that exists, and a natural dance in play, between mind, heart and soul, that once acknowledged, can be rationalised, managed, experimented and played with, and is one route to less stress, greater self-confidence, and the benefit of creativity beyond our current imagining. It is a route to unwrap the astonishing power of ‘The Leader Self’ in both work and in the home.

Pete Middleton of SenseAble Solutions spent ten years researching personal development and in understanding the dynamic that exists between rational, emotional and spiritual intelligence. In the last three years he has developed and market tested a number of practical tools that enable individuals to begin to engage with this dynamic relationship in ways that produce rapid and recognisable benefits.
The paradox that exists in congruency and non-congruency between mind, heart and soul enables individuals to attain clarity and creativity in a manner that touches upon our natural abilities that for so long have remained hidden behind unconscious limiting beliefs.

Pete will share his ideas on the subject but more importantly will host a brief interactive workshop in which people may explore their own inherent abilities to experience congruency between mind, heart and soul.

More information about Pete and the first product currently available may be found on www.aSenseAbleFriend.com

Member offers!

Cover of NLP in Business by Peter Freeth
Peter Freeth, the presenter of the April 2006 session, has made his book "NLP In Business" available to Manchester NLP and EI Group members at half price - to take advantage of this offer click here. NB as a security measure to make sure that only members of the group get the book at this price, he's asking you to state one thing you remember from the session. No problem if you were there - if you weren't, I suggest "business swish pattern"!

Testimonial for the book from a group member: "I know Peter aims his book at the "Business" community but I have found it extremely relevant to a lot of "day-to-day" situations. In fact it is a refreshing read from a lot of the other NLP books out there, nothing wrong with them - just a different approach." - Steve Heneghan, IT Consultant and Coach
