| Greetings! 
            This month we're beginning a new series - how to 
apply personality type while coaching clients in five 
easy steps.  Within the framework of our personality 
type is a wealth of information about our strengths and 
lesser-strengths, based on solid scientific research, 
that is very valuable in the coaching process.  In fact,  
each of us can coach one another by following the 
guidelines in this article.  I know you will find it useful!
             
            Also, with this issue we're beginning a series on 
applying 
type to children.  This article is taken from Susan 
Scanlon's "Type Reporter" in November 1992, and is 
very helpful as a starting point for understanding our 
children through the lense of type.

        | 
        The application of personality type into the coaching 
process is particularly valuable because you can 
identify and develop his or her strengths, assist them 
in recognizing blind spots and how to manage them 
and strategize a method for personal and career 
development.
Step 1:  Assess the Client's Type.......
   Step 2:  Determine Strengths and Challenges.....

        | KID TYPES - Extroverts |  
        |  |  
        | 
        When a child does something annoying or 
troublesome, the first thing parents hear in their 
heads is a voice saying, "The kid needs discipline.  
He needs a firm hand.  He needs to be put in line."  
When a child doesn't do something that 
children are supposed to do, the voice jumps in 
with:  "The kid's just lazy.  He needs to be pushed."

        What clients are saying about us.....
         
        The session that I led for our company's twenty 
Human Resource & Training Professionals went very 
well and the feedback I received was wonderful.  The 
participants truly enjoyed discovering their "type" 
and learning about their peers as well.  They loved 
The PEOPLE Process tools and said they made it 
easy 
to stay engaged and gave them information in a clear 
and concise way.  The session lasted about 2-1/2 
hours and they were hungry for more!  I referred 
them to the TPP participant book for further reading.  
The learning session was indeed "profound" for all 
the 
participants.  As our organization determines next 
steps for The PEOPLE Process, I will keep in touch.

        We have found this product to be effective in 
training diplomats in negotiation and crisis 
management skills, retrenched fishermen in job 
seeking skills, managers in hi-tech organizations in 
career development, hospital emergency-room staff 
in managing conflict encounters, civil servants in time 
management skills, trainers in advanced facilitation 
skills, and entrepreneurs in new business start-ups.  
Without exception, participants have been able to 
relate easily to the use of the system, are amazed at 
the uncanny accuracy of the personality type profile, 
and have been able to apply The PEOPLE Process in 
their daily work.

        ...a great tool to help team members understand 
themselves and their teammates better.  My clients 
love it because it has been delightfully accurate and 
is a practical "take-away" that they can share with 
the significant people in their lives.  I highly 
recommend it as a key tool for facilitators to use to 
assess personality type preferences.
