IS THIS YOU?: OUR IDEAL CLIENTS AND THE PROBLEMS THEY FACE

Tapping The Creative Edge in Individuals and Organizations

The goal of Creative Edge Focusing ™ is to teach PRISMS/S and our Creative Edge Pyramid of “human literacy” to people at every level, from individuals to relationships to organizations, for use at home, school, or work.

The Focusing Crystals: Individual Differences

Some people will be natural Intuitive Focusers and/or Focused Listeners. In organizations, we want to find them, nurture them, and make space in group situations for their special contribution from The Creative Edge. Others will have difficulty with the concept of going quietly inside to look for the Creative Edge or of setting aside their own opinions to really listen to another. All can benefit from training.

Work in teams, groups, and communities demands the ability to understand and tolerate different personality styles and benefits from using the unique gifts of everyone. You can visit the Personality Tests area on our Free Resources page to explore  some of our favorite methods for introducing the idea of individual differences, including The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, the Enneagram, Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences, and Goleman’s “Emotional Intelligence” and “Social Intelligence.”

The Focusing Spectrum: Interest Areas

People have been attracted to this website through many different avenues. We have chosen to keep all of these Interest Areas together on the same website because, while executives, helping professionals, and community builders have different needs, almost everyone is also a parent, lover, friend, and community volunteer.

Whatever you came looking for, we hope that you will explore some of our other services and programs. You can check out our major projects under Interest Areas below.
