Hi all
This is a little off topic from Permaculture, but I hope its acceptable (and its free anyway!).
One of the things I do in my work is run courses in understanding others - like why some people are open to new or non-mainstream ideas and why some people are completely closed to them (just to give a relevant example - also relevant to sales, management, etc). I find it useful in understanding why, for example, some members of my family are not particularly open to some of the information that I show them about things that my happen in the future (ie environment, oil, etc). I use Myers Briggs theory in this - something some people are more into than others, but very useful regardless.
Some of the threads here have reminded me how useful this understanding can be - discussions about why family and friends "just don't get it".
As I do feel that it is important to impart this info - environment, oil, etc - to people, and understanding a bit more about how they think can help with that, I'd welcome anyone here to do a short, online version of the course for FREE. (I've never run one free before!)
It would involve me sending you PDF articles with reading and questions, and then you going into a forum (I'd just hook you into an existing one from a course earlier in the year) to discuss what you think of the readings. Nothing too time consuming or complicated, and as there would be no official certification at the end, you put as much into it as you like.
Email me if you're interested. I'm not doing this for promotion - I really think that some people could find this knowledge helpful in talking with friends/partners/etc about making changes in your life.
You can look at the business website that I run this through at http://www.relationshipdynamics.com.au and email me via there if you're interested or if you have any questions.
