Bear, Eagle, Buffalo, Mouse: Living in a World of Difference

Are you a Bear surrounded by a herd of Buffalo? Does your Eagle want to soar but is weighted down by day-to-day details? What direction does the Mouse in you say you should take? Mouse, Eagle, Buffalo, Bear - each represents a “way of being” in the world, a style of operation and interaction. It's no big secret that everyone is different in the way they do things. The secret lies in knowing how to effectively leverage these differences - how to work together without the clashes that are sometimes caused by differing perspectives and approaches.

This session introduces a model for understanding people and the diversity of operational style that exists within all groups. Loosely based upon an ancient Native American tradition, the Medicine Wheel model provides insight into self and others, exploring differences that exist between people. This important understanding helps us to maximize our strengths, manage our deficits and interact with others in a more effective, complimentary way.
