Ok, now that the first flush of excitement has receded a bit, I’ll be posting some information and observations on how the Templates actually work.
For years, I’ve been asking people for their birthdays as an icebreaker at business mixers and parties. Nearly everyone I talk to about their Template gets really excited and usually go find someone else for me to “do.” For example, at a business mixer several years ago, I spoke to a man that I identified as a Chariot. Chariots don’t sit still; they typically change something in their lives about once every 5 – 7 years (relationship, job, house; if nothing else, they’ve got DRIVE). The man became very excited, and went to find his girlfriend to tell her about how I had correctly spotted his very recently diagnosed ADD in a single 3 minute conversation. He said that what I told him about managing his energy helped him immensely. Caveat: I DON’T ever diagnose, or dispense medical information. I never once used the term “ADD” in the above conversation. However, the Template of the Chariot, once identified, helped him zero in on his challenges and strengths.
