We are all so very different - a simple concept, right? However, not such a simple thing to navigate in the workplace or in our personal relationships. Understanding how to communicate with other personality types can drastically help us as team leaders, partners, and simply people communicating in the world. Today I welcome Patrick Kerwin, master practitioner of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality inventory. We discuss how this assessment is used to decode behavior and understand others and how honoring individuality can really help improve your life and the lives around you.
