  • Disengaged Workers Costs the U.S. Economy About $300 Billion A Year.

    Over 50 years of Gallup research and scientific studies back a recent study conducted by the Gallup Organization that states negativity costs the U.S. economy $300 billion a year - and that's a conservative estimate. Focusing on someone's strengths and giving recognition for performance is critical to success. The new Gallup study found that when managers focused on employees' strengths, 61% of the employees were engaged in the work and only 1% were actively disengaged.....


    Curious About What Makes Your Coworkers Tick?

    Their Psychological Type might be the answer. Based on the personality assessment theory of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, psychological type training is used by organizations around the globe and has become an essential tool for personality assessment differences and using those differences to improve individual and team performance.....

You might assume they were all Sensing types, since Ss look for usefulness first, but strangely enough, the people who asked me that were all Intuitives.

    Based on psychological type theory created by Dr. Carl Jung, this 3-part package consisting of a Wheel, Profile Sheets and Booklet is an easy and fun way to help employees get valuable insights into interacting with others. Great for a leadership development program and communication skills training, this powerful tool for personality assessment is highly effective as a teambuilding communication training.

    What clients are saying about us.....

    The personality type profile materials have been a huge hit in our company leadership development program. Our managers can identify their type within 6-7 minutes and they love it.

    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.
