Four Lenses Training
Four Lenses Training
The four temperaments trace back to the Greek physician Hippocrates (460–370 BC) who discovered that each person has a unique personality spectrum or lens that reveals how individuals naturally see the world. Because our paradigms are so influential, we often struggle communicating with those who have a different perspective. By failing to truly understand those around us, surely, we are missing one of the greatest opportunities life has to offer.
The Four Lenses training will forever change the way you see the world. Participants discover unique aspects about themselves and everyone around them. After completing a personality temperament assessment, participants begin learning through online training modules, books, and participating in the online community. Participants learn to interact with others in a powerful new way.
The Four Lenses training helps participants learn how to:
Motivate reluctant people
Communicate with power
Strengthen leadership abilities
Reduce stress and conflict
Parent complicated children
Teach difficult learners
Create sensational relationships
