Out of all their work, a vision emerged. www.dawnfrail.com

In other words….Let’s just learn … …to all get along! www.dawnfrail.com

12.
So far, so good.But why is it important? www.dawnfrail.com

13.
Myers-Briggs (M-B)……is a way of understanding the personality differences between ourselves and the people around us... www.dawnfrail.com

14.
… so that we can……value and use those differences in a good wayinstead of letting them create conflict and strife in our lives. www.dawnfrail.com

15.
M-B can help us……understand ourselves better so we can reach our potential and achieve excellence and be happier people. www.dawnfrail.com

16.
M-B can help us…… understand our co-workers better so we can figure out why some people are easy to get along with and others are just , well, you know, IMPOSSIBLE! www.dawnfrail.com

17.
M-B can help us…… understand our boss better so we can figure out how to give them what they want so we can get what we want. www.dawnfrail.com

18.
M-B can help us…… understand our spouse/partner better so we can figure out why they do those things they do that drive us absolutely CRAZY! www.dawnfrail.com

19.
M-B can help us…… understand our kids better so we can finally figure out how to motivate them to become the great people we know they can be. www.dawnfrail.com

20.
So you see…It’s all about relationships! Easy, eh?! www.dawnfrail.com

21.
Easier said than done!Sadly, some people never figure out what they’re naturally good at or where their true talents lie. Thankfully, M-B gives us a shortcut to get those answers! www.dawnfrail.com

22.
In addition to figuring out how you can get along better with those people, you can also…• Reduce your stress• Find more balance in your life• Find work that suits you better• Learn faster and easier www.dawnfrail.com

23.
And…• Find your source of creativity• Be more innovative at work• Be a better leader• Improve your team’s morale• Get your team to do more and more and more without having to pay them more www.dawnfrail.com

24.
And…• Manage time better• Manage stress better• Manage conflict better• Communicate better• Even live longer www.dawnfrail.com

25.
If you’re still with me, you get the picture.This is a very powerful way to “improve harmony and productivity” just like Isabel wanted. www.dawnfrail.com

26.
What’s the concept?• M-B is like a map that measures our preferences in 4 areas• These 4 areas are the foundation upon which our personalities develop throughout our lifetime• It does not measure how good we are at something, or how much we have of it, only how clear we are that we prefer one way over another www.dawnfrail.com

27.
What’s the concept?• In each of these 4 areas, we prefer one way over another• Because the areas relate to how our brain works, we are born with these personality patterns• These patterns don’t change over time, but we can adapt how we choose to use them at time, in any situation www.dawnfrail.com

28.
What’s the concept?• Lots of things influence how well we develop our personality preferences: – Family upbringing – Education – Career – Opportunities we get – Opportunities we don’t get www.dawnfrail.com

29.
What’s the concept?Whether we’re right-handed or left-handed, we are capable of using both hands… but we naturally prefer one over the other.We can choose to use our non-preferred handany time we want to… BUT when we do… www.dawnfrail.com

30.
Things take longer. Stress and frustration go up. Quality goes down. We have to really think about what we’re doing. It’s a less successful experience overall. www.dawnfrail.com

31.
So it stands to reason…… that if we identify our 4 preferences, and choose to use them every day, – both at work and at home – we will find our life much more satisfying. DUH!! www.dawnfrail.com

32.
4 Preference AreasBy identifying your preference in 4 areas, you end up with a 4-letter M-B TypeFor example, I’m an ISTJ www.dawnfrail.com

33.
4 Letters, 2 choices eachEach of the 4 positions in your type profile represent a choice between 2 preferences Introversion or Extraversion Sensing or iNtuition Thinking or Feeling Judging or Perceiving www.dawnfrail.com

34.
Where do you get your energy; what do you naturally pay attention to?• Introversion – You recharge your batteries best when you can take time to be alone or with a small group where you can take the time to think and reflect OR• Extraversion – You get your energy from being around other people and engaging in activities, and usually, the more the merrier www.dawnfrail.com

35.
This can us help understand why…• Some people are really hard to read or get to know and others are like an open book• Some people prefer to communicate in writing even when the other person is close by• Workplaces full of noise and activity can be energizing for some and exhausting for others• Some people seem to naturally think on their feet and others seem to want to fully bake their ideas before they say a word www.dawnfrail.com

36.
How does your brain prefer to take in information?• Sensing – You notice and want all the details associated with your 5 senses and anything that is real and in the here-and-now OR• iNtuition – You notice and want to understand the relationships between the details and what it all means www.dawnfrail.com

37.
This can us help understand why…• Some people want to talk about things in order and others seem to jump around all over the place• Some people need to ask all the detail questions that cause others to want to scream in agony• Some people are always finding new and creative ways to approach things instead of just doing it the way it works www.dawnfrail.com

38.
What’s the process your brain prefers to use to make a decision?• Thinking – You’ll use a logical process that is objective, analytical and removed from the situation, people and events OR• Feeling – You’ll use a more sensitive and empathetic approach that takes into consideration how you and others feel www.dawnfrail.com

39.
This can us help understand why…• Some people seem to always take things personally and others seem like they never do• Some people always seem to notice what’s wrong where others always seem to notice what’s right• Some people are sticklers for the rules regardless of circumstances, and others may put aside the letter of the law in order to apply the spirit of the law www.dawnfrail.com

40.
How do you prefer to live in the outside world?• Judging – You like to live your life in an organized fashion, having plans, structure and closure so things can be settled OR• Perceiving – You’d rather live your life in a spontaneous way, keeping your options open and staying flexible to change www.dawnfrail.com

41.
This can us help understand why…• Some people are always early and others are always late• Some people are energized by deadlines and last minute requests, and the same thing causes others to have a melt down• Some people get a rush out of checking things off their ‘to-do’ list and other people cringe at the thought of writing a list at all www.dawnfrail.com

42.
The bottom lineA powerful team is a diverse team, whether that team is at work, or at home. www.dawnfrail.com

43.
The challenge is to value the differences and let them make the team better,rather than allowing the differences to be a negative and destructive force. www.dawnfrail.com

44.
Ethical Use: the fine print• M-B is a very complex theory, which is why it requires a certified practitioner to facilitate it• Some people misinterpret the meaning of the information, so it’s important to have an opportunity to ask questions• It’s not a label or a box that someone is trying to force on you• But it IS private information that you choose to share with others as you see fit www.dawnfrail.com
