Exploring Intentional Styles
Learn about a powerful new lens on personality type. Find your own Intentional Style, identify ways to apply this lens to your personal development and to relationships.
Did you know you have an Intentional Style? When you are doing just about anything, you have some unconscious intentions. We have a new lens (aka model) that can help you identify your Intentional Style.
Dictionary.com defines…
…an intention as, an act or instance of determining mentally upon some action or result.
…a style as, a particular, distinctive, or characteristic mode of action or manner of acting. So our Intentional Style is a pattern of activities that we do as we attempt to get our intentions satisfied.
Over the course of the last ten years, we have been identifying four patterns, refining the definitions and using this lens in the background as we help people understand themselves and others, improve their communication and relationships, and find their best fit among the 16 personality types. When we share this lens with other type practitioners, they are surprised at the relationships to the type code, but it makes sense to them. For some, this lens has made the difference between being confused about their best-fit and being clear.
Our online sessions will give you an opportunity to learn directly with Linda Berens, share in small groups to deepen your learning, ask questions, and observe the Styles in action.
