Personality typing systems, from Myers Briggs Type Indicator to the DISC and Gallup’s Strengths-Finder are very common in organizational life. The common thinking is that knowing oneself and understanding our differences can promote better working relationships, which improves organizational outcomes. While this sort of typing is definitely a benefit, putting ourselves in boxes also has a downside.

In this ninety-minute training course, attendees will learn how to better manage the politics of the field of Human Resources and dissect the unique position of HR professionals in the best effort to balance the strategic needs of the organization with those of the employees and other stakeholders. 

John Underwood, who describes himself as the first “Lilly White Affirmative Action Officer in history”, will lead us through an entertaining and interactive process of personal discovery that will captivate and challenge your assumptions about race and sex in the workplace. The term “Diversity” means something different to everyone. In this program, John will unpack the terms, meanings, origins and raw feelings of this evolving topic. Be prepared for uncensored emotion in this presentation. You will walk away from this program changed. Your paradigm will shift.
