Why Personalities?
Have you ever found yourself asking one of these questions? (To yourself or maybe even to me?) Why study personalities? Isn’t this just another way of stereotyping people? If people are “unique” why try to label them? How would this really help me? Great questions. Obviously I am passionate about understanding personality types or I wouldn’t…
Read MoreWithout Reservations
This week I had a chance to take a break from my “usual” seminars and go back to my speaking roots. The Mothers of Preschoolers group at Grace Church Reno asked me to talk to the young moms there about creative ways to feed a family while decreasing stress and increasing opportunities for conversation and…
Read MoreLeadership Kids Learn About Personalities!
I recently had the pleasure of being the speaker for the Wooster High School Leadership retreat. About 60 kids were in attendance and we spent two hours together talking about personalities and how understanding differences can help them be better students, friends, and leaders in school and in life. In a similar fashion to my…
Read MoreBack to School – For All of Us!
“Back to School” has always been a busy season for me. I have been a student, a teacher, or a parent for as long as I can remember. As a parent, the start of the new school means new backpacks, school supplies, and the end of long, lazy summer nights. As a business owner, this is…

The first time I attended a 3 day training for professional public speakers, I didn’t know that I was going to be spending those 3 days with fabulous speakers who were also personality experts. But looking back, it makes so much sense. As a speaker, I have a message that I want to share with…
Read MoreQ & A – What Personality Types Work Best Together?
I am often asked by business owners and other professionals questions about which personality types work best together. Which personality type should I look for when tackling a new project? Which type should I look for in a business partner? And even, which personality type would make the best leader for my team/group/organization? And I…
Read MoreEngineers Have Personalities Too!
Last week I had the privilege of conducting a half-day workshop for the employees of Carollo Engineers Las Vegas office. I spent the months before preparing for this unique setting. Every attendee took the “Wired That Way” personality assessment ahead of time so I could have more information about each one of these and plan…
Read MoreSocial Media Thoughts Part 2: ASS
I received quite a bit of feedback on last week’s post Social Media & TITS. So once again, I went to my brilliant husband for advice on where to go next. He smiled and winked and said, “There is really only one logical follow up after a post about TITS.” Here is my next social…
