Special opportunity

All the way from Alabama!  We are so pleased that our guest presenter offered to make our chapter meeting part of his business trip to NC.  This ENTP is eager to share his unique approach, expertise, and his love of type.

Program:

The Hero’s Journey is the template upon which all of the world’s great stories, movies, and myths are based. Participants will learn how to utilize the elements of the Hero’s Journey and an overlay template, The Client’s Journey which is a far more therapeutic lens, to motivate, inspire, and facilitate change for their clients and themselves. Using these stories and the lens of Jungian personality type as a framework, the session will conclude with an opportunity for participants to apply the Hero’s Journey metaphor to their own lives and professional practice.  This program is for therapists, life coaches, school counselors, HR professionals and anyone interested in facilitating growth, positive change, and understanding the universal challenges we ALL encounter in our Journeys. This workshop, with real-life stories, lively visuals from famous movies, and group exercises, makes theory come alive!

Goals for this program:

• Recognize the stages of the Hero’s Journey and relate them to their own lives
• Understand and utilize the “mirrored” stages of the “Client’s Journey” which is a similar, but a more therapeutic overlay.
• Teach the Hero’s Journey to clients quickly and effectively
• Utilize interventions, that I will supply and teach to move clients from the metaphorical concept to real life application
• Apply the Hero’s Journey to facilitate their own and their clients’ growth
• Appreciate the relationship between the Hero’s Journey, Individuation and Personality Type Development

NEW MEETING LOCATION  –  Directions to American Underground meeting room

Watch for posted APT ribbons marking the path to the meeting room.  On foot, exit the South Parking Garage in the NE corner via the steps or the elevator, Level C.  The meeting is in the Strickland Building on the other side of the water feature (take the brick stairway or follow the ramp in front of Tyler’s Tap Room to the bridge over the water feature).  We have been asked to use the farthest entrance, adjacent to the giant water tower and next to the Cuban Revolution restaurant.  Once you enter the Strickland Building, on the left there is a staircase to the lower level marked American Underground, take the stairway or the elevator straight ahead.  There is a security desk in the lobby if you require assistance.  On the lower level pass the glass conference room and continue past the computer offices to the middle of the hallway.  On the left you will see a break room and on the right will be Classroom 1, our destination.  The area is heavily patrolled and quite safe, particularly on game nights.  Accessibility without stairs:  elevators and ramps are readily available from the parking garage to the meeting room.
