Personality Dimensions: Understand Yourself And Others

Duration: 3 hour virtual session

“Personality Dimensions is the next step in the evolution of temperament and personality theory. Based on a foundation of solid research, it gives you a better understanding of yourself, your strengths, values, needs, and how you perceive the world. But it’s not just about ourselves, it is also about knowing how to appreciate and respect differences by recognizing the contributions and strengths everyone brings with them.” (https://www.personalitydimensions.com/what-is-pd)
