CORE SELF
There are many different elements that make up who we are at our core...
The InterStrength CORE™ Approach is a set of practices for fostering self-leadership in all kinds of situations. Self-leadership is fundamental to effective leadership, teamwork, and the agility required in today’s complex, rapidly changing world. By realigning with who they are, at their CORE, self-leaders operate with high levels of self-awareness and personal self-management. Once realigned at their CORE, they become self-determining, managing their lives so they are intrinsically motivated.
The practices guide individuals through a process of:
Personality typing usually refers to the use of the personality type code developed by Isabel Myers in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® instrument. It most often involves taking an instrument, getting feedback and receiving some kind of report. Sometimes it involves a process of self-discovery with or without an instrument. The goal of personality typing is for the individual to identify a best-fit personality type. Too often the learner is left with a type code that may or may not have personal meaning and a report that gets filed in the drawer- no realignment process occurs. Personality typing often focuses on parts since people can’t hold 16 types in their heads. These parts are the dichotomies that can be misleading when taken out of the context of the whole.
Multiple Lenses + Self-Discovery
= Understanding
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
-Steve Jobs
The InterStrength CORE Approach™ focuses on building self-awareness skills, learner-owned identification and realignment of their own personality patterns through our pioneered CORE Self-Discovery Process™. The practices that help them develop much needed agility stay with them throughout their lifetime. The information learned about themselves and others is so profound that it can be life changing by realigning them with you they are, at their CORE. With the models held lightly, there is room to grow and develop and a high degree of buy in. These models are easily integrated with or without using the 16 personality types or instruments like the MBTI®.
The InterStrength CORE Approach is a developmental approach to type that . . .

I have been an OD practitioner and executive coach for a couple of decades and certified in a variety of typologies. Yet this certification not only provided additional tools to help me be a better professional, the validating and affirming insights I gained from the self-discovery process, has made me a better person. THANK-YOU!
