02-10-2010 Luncheon Speaker FEBRUARY LUNCHEON


It Takes All Types: Differences in Communicating

For anyone who wants to be a more effective communicator, you won't want to miss February's luncheon!  Through a focus on personality types and their communication characteristics, Kathleen Robinson will help us look at successful approaches to communicating in the workplace. Kathleen will help us explore our most natural communication style and how others perceive us through our communication. 

If you’ve taken the MBTI and have a report, or just remember what type you came out on the report, please bring it with you. If you would like to take a free, quick, self-assessment online, then please go to:  http://www.personalitypathways.com/type_inventory.html (Look at the 4 questions under Cognitive Style Inventory. Do not click on “Take the Test” unless you would like a full analysis.)
