Personalities, processing and picking up...

We did a lot of "picking up" yesterday: after picking up thousands of photocopies from the printers, we had to pick up the 60 kilos of chicken filets that the butcher was preparing for us... and then we began picking people up from the airport. The airport pick ups continue today, as we're preparing for a coaching workshop that will be held here on Thursday and Friday. The workshop is about understanding how different personalities process in different ways, so that we can adapt our coaching accordingly and thus help people better in their processing and decision making.
For example, some people are extrovert while others are introvert. Some people are "thinkers," while others are more influenced by feelings and emotions. On Thursday, we'll have a workshop about understanding the many different kinds of personalities there are, and this will be attended by quite a number of local people from here in the Costa del Sol. Then, on Friday, a smaller group of people will stay on for a workshop about how to work with different personality types when we are talking with them in a coaching relationship.
When the coaching workshop finishes and those people begin heading home to their different nations, the "picking up" begins again, as most of our staff for the Leadership Development Course will be arriving in Spain this weekend. Next week we'll be having several days of staff preparation and prayer for the LDC.
