Synopsis

8 Keys to Self-Leadership shows you how to honor your natural talents and to stretch yourself into new areas while keeping that sense of learning and wonder you had as a child. In this book, you will be guided through the doors of self-awareness and shown how to unlock the eight ways to find greater satisfaction in all that you do. If you are familiar with Dr. Carl Jung's framework of 8 psychological functions or the 16 Myers-Briggs types, you will find familiar material, though this book takes a developmental approach. Each chapter takes you through one of eight ways we metabolize experiences, including a quiz, in-depth explanation, and two-dozen exercises to explore and develop the benefits of that psychological function in yourself. Everything is based upon extensive research, discussions with multiple experts, and practical experience with clients. This book is a great tool to use on your own or with clients for coaching and skills and leadership development.
