Answer Questions

During my time spent researching and learning about human nature, I discovered that we can gain explosive levels of self knowledge by asking a very simple question: “How do I respond to expectations?”

This led me to discover that people typically fit into one of Four Tendencies: Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels.

During this session, you will learn:

How your Tendency shapes every aspect of your behavior, and how understanding it can help you with things like making better decisions, meeting your deadlines, suffer less from  stress and burnout, and also how to engage more effectively.

You will learn how to identify, not only your own Tendency, but that of your clients, in order to help them apply this framework in their own lives for greater results.

We will also look at how to use the Four Tendencies to become happier, healthier, more productive, and more creative.

  1. Learn your own tendency 
  2. How to use that knowledge to make your life happier, more productive and more creative 
  3. How to use the Four Tendencies to work more efficiently and harmoniously with others
