  Pam Fox Rollin:
  What We Can Learn From a Coach Approach to Type Interpretations
  by Elma Tulloch-Reid, Communications Committee, APT eChapter

Members from across the United States and Canada joined in to hear Pam Fox Rollin present how coaching principles can be applied to verifying type and deepening the learning during type interpretations.  Rollin points out we need to be aware that we sometimes lose clients due to information overload.  They can be confused on their type with no process for clarification and may adopt a type that is not best-fit.  To avoid these pitfalls the coach must also offer:

• stance and Intention which leads to acceptance and empowerment through encouraging the idea you are whole, you have choices, you are responsible, you are creative, and you are resourceful;

• questions and dialogue which leads to learning and actions by inviting reflection, discovery, flexibility, commitment, observations and real-time reactions;  and

• experience and tools to help function in a more effective and efficient ways which could include field work and reporting and sharing of various observations.

She emphasized that the coach should consider the phrase My Intention and create a learning conversation with the client in which they can recognize and value their own ways of functioning and ask hard questions which provoke thought, ex. How are they reacting to what is happening? Or, When have current frustrations been felt before? And, How do you manage stress outside your preferences?  It is not just about leaving a session with a four letter type but is it is necessary to have the client engage in the “so what” for them and work toward benefits with follow up plans.

Our next teleconference will be held on Tuesday, December 12, 2006.  Jane Kise will present Chameleon Coaching.  Kise will discuss designing staff development workshops, individual teacher coaching, and lesson planning that brings about deep change in teachers and students.  The techniques translate to the world of business as well.

  Katherine W Hirsh and Elizabeth Hirsh:
  Enriching Your Practice: Ideas Inspired by Jung's Life
  by Marilyn Parente, President, APT eChapter

Our second program was fantastic and saw an increase of 50% in participants.  June 8 brought us Enriching Your Practice:  Ideas Inspired by Jung’s Life, presented by Katherine W. Hirsh and Elizabeth Hirsh.  Katherine, on the Board of the eChapter as a Member-At-Large and VP of Festivities, along with her sister Elizabeth, introduced several methods inspired by Jung’s life help in building on knowledge of Psychological Type.  The outcome of using the techniques makes workshops and training sessions more meaningful, and their impact longer-lasting.  They explored the application of these methods to issues such as leadership, work relationships, and career development.

Interweaving Jung’s own experiences and activities with techniques for organization, education, and private practitioners, participants were provided handouts to explore the exercises on a personal level before using them with others.  The Hirshes invited us to create our own Dream Retreats, inspired by Jung’s own “Bollingen.”  Not meant to be enjoyed alone, participants were asked to invite dream guests and design an invitation that characterizes and welcomes them to the retreat.

  Otto Kroeger:  The Power of the MBTI^® Unscored Items
  by Saundra Stroope, VP Communications, APT eChapter

We had 25 participants and Otto Kroeger join us for our inaugural APT eChapter teleconference, representing 3 continents, 2 hemispheres, and across 9 different time zones!

Kroeger presented an overview of his longitudinal study of college retention using the 32 unscored items on Form G of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) instrument.  At the insistence of Isabel Myers, Form G included 32 unscored items.  These items were key to research Myers was pursuing, but never completed or published.  After nearly thirty years in the field, Kroeger uncovered the same patterns in the unscored items that Myers hypothesized about so many years ago.

Through ongoing research and years of client consultation and observation, Kroeger discovered that in addition to helping validate type, the 32 unscored items on the Indicator yield powerful insights into issues of authority, self-esteem, temper, financial stress, and other factors of tremendous importance to clients.  These patterns are not present in the scored items.  Early results indicate that key patterns in the unscored items can predict, with over 70% accuracy, individuals who will encounter issues within themselves or the educational system that will threaten their success in their chosen academic programs.  Although not yet published, resources are under development to assist college career counselors in providing guidance for these students.

Additional patterns in the unscored items are being explored for use in the medical field.  Studies are currently in progress to gather data that may provide compelling insights on type and health issues like heart attacks and cancer.  These same 32 unscored items are also present on Form F of the MBTI®.

Kroeger’s presentation was followed by a Q&A session and a summary of upcoming events.  Our next meeting will be held on June 8, 2006.  Katherine W. Hirsh and Elizabeth Hirsh will lead the session on Enriching Your Practice:  Ideas Inspired by Jung's Life.
