• Immediate Impact: After just one introductory session with their groups/teams, enthusiasm, sense of community and practice of perspective shifting increases. We provide you with the resources to get started right away.
• Employee Satisfaction: Their participants have shared that not only has this process enabled them to tap into talents they were unaware of, it also gave them a sense that the organization cared about them and their well-being.
• Shifts in Management Practices: Managers easily integrate and use the Berens CORE™ Approach and the methods taught to increase employee engagement.
• Improved Communication: Using the tools, resources and processes provided conflict is minimized and understanding and valuing of differences is increased.

Invest in your professional success, satisfaction, and impact. Learn how to use a richer, deeper, comprehensive system that catalyzes real and lasting change and development in your clients. The Berens CORE Approach builds on and goes beyond existing typology models and tools to increase acceptance and minimize client resistance. Berens CORE links to common models, bridging to previous typology work, and uses an interactive, self-awareness approach rather than relying on a forced-choice or either/or approach. This safe approach overcomes the challenges of installing type language in an organization.

Berens CORE provides a coherent view, blending three different ways of looking at human beings. Each provides a different lens for different situations. Each brings different information to understanding human behavior, meaning making, and interactions.

• Interaction Styles—How we interact, influence and establish rapport (or not)
• Essential Motivators (aka Temperament)—Why we do what we do, our deep motivations
• Cognitive Dynamics—What information and evaluation process we tend to give preference to and be talented in

Each lens is easily understood and utilized; yet the Berens CORE approach gives the means to address the richness and complexity of human beings operating in complex living systems. Berens CORE is scalable and can be used as a language to improve communication, make conflict productive, and engage employees while promoting growth.
