Leadership, Management and Personal Development

The final video covering the last two  Myers Briggs dichotomies.

This is the second in the series following on from Extraversion/ Introversion.

The second dichotomy in Myers Briggs®, Sensing or Intuition, how we take in information.

When building IKEA furniture people tend to fall into two camps.

Camp 1 – They count all the pieces (including the small screws etc.), lay them out neatly then follow the instructions step by step. These tend to be Sensing types; they like the detail

Camp 2 –  They look at the picture and give it a go vaguely following the instructions. They may count the big pieces, sometimes. Rarely count the small stuff. Quite often halfway through they find they have put a piece together upside down or the wrong way around. These people tend to be the Intuitives; they like the big picture.

This podcast is the first in a series of 3 which explore the personality type theory of Myers-Briggs®.

This one looks at how people are energised – through internal or external stimuli.

It will give you some clues as to why some people dive in and act before they think things through while others think carefully before they act.

Have you ever asked yourself what drives human behaviour? Why people sometimes act in ways that you find difficult to understand?

Imagine an iceberg. The tip is above water – you can see this. The majority of the iceberg is under the water – hidden from view.

A person’s behaviour is like the tip of the iceberg – the part you can see. What drives that behaviour lies underneath the surface. Venture below surface level and you’ll discover the values, beliefs, experiences and thoughts that drive a person’s behaviour.

Listen to the podcast to find out more.

There have been many studies on how non-verbal behaviour (body language such as facial expressions, gestures etc) impact communication.

Today, there is a strong school of thought that, when we communicate, people pay attention to our words and actions as follows:

Is this true?

If this is true, it means that a staggering 93% of what people take from our communication is non-verbal.

If it’s important to you to give a good impression when you are addressing others, have a listen to the podcast for some tips.

The world is nuts (technical term!!) at the moment…. and it’s not likely to change.

If you find yourself going around the hamster wheel like a loon.. step off and do something different.

Sometimes we forget who we are and what we are trying to do… you need a little peace… to piece it back together!

A live conference speech with Gavin demonstrating “which way do you eat your banana?”

60,000 thoughts a day, 90% the same as the ones you had yesterday…. no wonder we get a little testy when asked…

“which way do you eat your banana?”

The Guru trainer walked into the room and said..

I raised my hand and said..

He looked at me and said ” don’t worry, it will be alright” … and then left the room

Ever feel a little different to the world!!
