Process Skills: Talkers vs. Doers: How Personalities Affect Decision Making Processes

Liz Logan

We all have a unique learning or processing style, and our style impacts the way that we engage with the decision making process. We may either spend too much time researching, or rush to a conclusion. Sometimes is seems like the gap between the “process people” and the “action people” can never be bridged. However, there is hope! In this experiential workshop, we will explore the four primary styles, and do a simple self-assessment. We will then map these onto the decision making process, and learn how to take advantage of our strengths and compensate our weaknesses.
