2003 Conference in San Diego

TetraMap: A New Cross-Cultural Map with Personality Plus!

Session: TH215, 11:00-12:30, Thursday 22 May
Session Types:  90-Minute Concurrent Session
Primary Track: Training Fundamentals
Speaker:  Yoshimi Brett & Jon Brett

Abstract: TetraMap was born in New Zealand, developed from East/West concepts, and implemented globally. This map has guided many individuals, teams and organizations toward practical, holistic solutions. It is a map that starts every journey with reflections of personality and preferences. Instead of prescriptive boxes, TetraMap employs interconnected triangles. No more opposing quadrants, no more divisive binary thinking: good/bad, strengths/weaknesses, peace/war. This new model encourages us to distinguish infinite shades of color, where everything is interconnected, like in real life. TetraMap's cross-cultural metaphor transcends boundaries and makes sense in any language or dialect. This is the perfect session to take a deep breath, relax and have fun, and map out your personal insights and new strategies.

2002 Conference in New Orleans

Facilitating Managers to Embrace and Lead Change

Session ID:  M304
Session Types:  CONCURRENT SESSION
Primary Track: Leading Change Today
Speaker:  Jon Brett; Yoshimi Brett 

Experience an insightful kinesthetic activity that simulates the forces of change on business culture. Debriefing reveals distinctly different perspectives that seem irreconcilable. However a new model holds a secret to understanding how to integrate these perspectives. Suddenly the complexity of human behavior and the nature of change can be chunked down intuitively and the issues tackled with newfound clarity. Participants will take away new tools that they can immediately apply in leadership training programs, strategic planning processes, performance appraisal systems and culture-change initiatives.

  • Use metaphor to explore the deeper dynamics of change issues
  • Use holistic strategies to measure, appraise and boost performance
  • Engage learners with powerful, kinesthetic interventions

From Silos to Synergy

Session ID:  TU404
Session Types:  FORUM
Primary Track: Sales, Marketing, and Customer Service
Speaker:  Yoshimi Brett; Jon Brett

This Forum sets a creative environment for insightful discussion and solution finding. Participants will learn from others with a similar focus. As individuals, how do we adapt to each other's individuality? As organizations, how do we adapt to the idiosyncrasies of Sales, Marketing and Customer Services? Sometimes it is hard to believe these teams are working toward the same vision and for the same company. By applying the irrefutable laws of physics, participants reframe the issues and create fresh approaches to exceeding expectations - especially the customers!

  • Call on specific contacts for knowledge alliances and problem solving
  • Take planned action steps to deal with Sales, Marketing and Customer Service interdependency issues
  • Match and fulfill personal, business, and customer needs
