We hear a lot about becoming the “best version of ourselves.” But what version is that? How do we clarify our understanding of who we really are – at our core – and how we can most effectively open that best version up to the world, thus enhancing the positive impact we can have in our families, work settings, communities and world?

Welcome to the latest episode of the Catalyst 360 Podcast – your trusted resource for the best in engaging, evidence-based health, wellness & performance insights. Today’s guest is Dr. Linda Berens – Dr. Berens and Dr. Cooper met 20 years ago when he attended an in-depth MBTI Certification program through her institute out in California. We was so impressed by her unique approach, we began integrating many of her insights into our trainings and eventually wrote a book together, which humorously brought out our very different interaction styles in the process 😊. She is the co-founder and lead architect for Interstrength who has been teaching professions since 1982 and is recognized internationally for her theoretical contributions to th field of psychological type and the development of user-friendly training materials used worldwide. We’ll be focusing today on her InterStrength CORE approach, which goes beyond “typology” and allows space for individuality, growth, realignment and understanding of patterns rather than boxing people into an “assessment label.” She’s even agreed to do a LIVE ASSESSMENT INTERVIEW W/ Dr. Cooper as an example, which you’ll hear on the last half of the discussion. You can contact Dr. Berens and access all of her tools & resources at https://www.lindaberens.com/
