DR. COLLEEN DI RADDOIS THAT WHY THEY DOTHAT?!?!College Center, Room 211As leaders, each of us will work with others who seem so different from us! No they are not from

another planet nor are they weird. They approach and interact with the world in specific ways that may

be opposite to your approach. Using the Myers Briggs Type Indicator we will identify different

approaches to interacting with the world. When you have an idea of the options, leading others who

are different may be easier because you will know some strategies to use as you work together! This is

a highly interactive workshop; you will identify your approach and may understand others who use a

different approach.CHRIS KINKADE
