Tracy Stone: Asking for What You Want - A Perspective Shift!
Learn more about Linda Beren’s Four Interaction Styles®, which tell us the "how" of our behavior. It refers to patterns of interaction that are both highly contextual and yet innate. Knowing our interaction style helps us locate interpersonal conflicts and situational energy drains. Interaction Styles are based on typology, and give us a map for greater flexibility in our interactions with others.
Participants will take away from this session:
- New ways to use observable behavior to improve our success in negotiating and
- Taking the fear out of asking and getting more of what you want
- Learn the best ways to interact with each Interaction Style and how to flex to work with them
- Learn how to use Interaction Styles to “back into” or verify an MBTI type
This presentation is geared to ALL Type learners.
