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

Saturday 4:30 – 5:30 pm
We all have a unique learning 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. By working with others who are similar to you, you will gain insight into your own way of being in the world. You will also get a chance to learn about people who are different. We will then map these onto the decision making process, and learn how to take advantage of our strengths and compensate our weaknesses when working in groups.
