Last chance to register for upcoming conflict prevention, resolution workshop

Don’t miss the next installment of nonprofit Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center’s Conflict Prevention & Resolution Training Series “Myers-Briggs: To Better Understand Yourself & Others” with Joan Shafer.

The mediation center is giving the community one last chance to register for the upcoming workshop during which participants will learn why they and others act like they do and how to interact more effectively with family, friends and co-workers.

It’s knowledge that can dramatically improve communication and connection in personal and professional settings.

Workshop participants will also learn how to:

• Explore their natural preferences via the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality assessment.
• Use the information and knowledge they gain to enhance the performance of team members and leaders.
• Better use their and others’ motivations and strengths.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is the most widely used personality assessment in the world. It reveals why people behave the way they do and how to communicate and interact more effectively.

“I am passionate about supporting people in discovering their natural and learned gifts and talents so that they can flourish and lead fulfilled lives,” said management consultant and group facilitator Shafer in the last chance registration announcement.

Shafer specializes in the design, delivery and implementation of personal growth, leadership development, team cohesion and transformation programs for corporations and senior executives.

She trains leaders and teams how to strengthen capability and optimize performance, providing a wealth of talent to her clients throughout the nation.

Shafer has worked with companies, non-governmental organizations, communities and nonprofits on six continents; is co-founder of the Barrett Values Centre in Waynesville, N.C.; and has been chief learning officer since 2009 at ExCo Leadership Group.

She received her bachelor of science degree from Vanderbilt University in Nashville.
