The Power of Polarity Thinking and Polarity Map and Type
We are excited to bring Cliff Kayser and Jean Porto to the Greater Delaware Valley for a two-part webinar series including assessment on February 24th and March 3rd from 1:00-2:30pm to share how learning about polarities can support your use of type.
Session 1 will provide and overview of polarity thinking and mapping for type dichotomies.
Session 2 will demonstrate advanced measurement applications for type dichotomies for multiple levels of system – individual, team, and organizational.
What are polarities? They are interdependent pairs that are technically unsolvable by using “either/or” thinking to choose a “solution.” However, when seen as unique challenges that require “both/and” thinking, polarities can be leveraged to maximize benefits and minimize limitations. Each of the four dichotomies of MBTI are a polarity, and type practitioners can use the Polarity Map, 5-Step “SMALL” process (Seeing, Mapping, Assessing, Learning, and Leveraging), and Polarity Assessment to support work with clients. These interactive sessions will include a MBTI Polarity Assessment to experience in real-time how measurement of type performance at the individual, team, and organizational levels can open new ways to apply type dynamics to your coaching and consulting practice.
Learning Goals/Outcomes/Objectives.
This session will support TYPE practitioners to supplement and enhance how they think about and use type. Participants will:
1) Understand the basic tenets of Polarity Thinking and Mapping as it relates to type
2) Understand how seeing type through a polarity lens supports understanding how clients and client systems can get hooked and stuck in type dynamics, and how to help them get unstuck
3) Appreciate how measuring MBTI for multiple levels of system (individual, team, and organizational) supports performance improvement over time – taking facilitation of type from “event” to “process.”
