NASW Virginia and Metro DC Personality Systems Workshop Fall Series 2021

Worshop 1 - Introduction to Personality Type Theory

You are invited to come explore NASW Virginia and Metro DC's fall series on various Personality Systems! The first workshop is on Personality Type Theory, followed by a workshop on Temperament Theory, concluding with a third workshop on the Enneagram. Each workshop will be offered on an introductory level. While each workshop will be taught as a stand-alone training, it will benefit the participant to attend all three workshops in order to understand the interconnection between these dynamic systems.

The MBTI and the Keirsey are naturally complementary, but when combined with the Enneagram, it maximizes the potential for all three tools, for both personal and clinical application. The clinical application of these three systems can enhance a client’s self-knowledge, communication skills and relationship skills. For clinicians, these instruments can also provide a deeper self-knowledge, thereby enhancing the clinician’s use of self in their clinical work. The workshops also promote social work values of honoring the dignity of the individual, and celebrating both the diversity and unity of the human family.

Coaching is one of the fastest ways to improve client-centered care.  Are you interested in coaching but want to do it ethically?  Are you ready to expand your skills and keep up with current trends to meet client needs?  A foundation of being a good coach is being able to embody a coaching mindset.  This workshop will teach you how to cultivate a coaching mindset by teaching you exactly what coaching is, how it is different from therapy, and how to bridge coaching and social work.
