Reversals are Your Friend!
presented by Claire Carrison

Reversals are the red-headed stepchildren of The Birkman Method. Almost everyone wants to avoid them, worries about them and has a tough time interpreting them.

The truth is, Reversals are some of the Birkman’s most helpful scores. According to the statistics, Reversals only show up in 10% of the population. This means that the person who has Reversals does not see him/herself reflected in others’ behaviors. People with Reversals feel misunderstood in the area in which they have those scores. THEY NEED THE BIRKMAN’S HELP!

Come to this class so you can be an expert on Reversals!

We will look at each Component and investigate all of the Dominant Patterns:

*     Normative Scores

*     The Reversal

*     Other Patterns

Bring your most perplexing examples of Reversals!

We’ll practice, practice, practice until you are completely confident interpreting the Reversals which have troubled you in the past.

Even with a surplus of people right now in the market finding talented people continues to challenge many organizations. Boomers are retiring (and more often ‘rewiring’) in increasing numbers with the potential to leave a talent and knowledge gap in some organizations. Younger generations lack the numbers, and sometimes experience, to fill the gap. How prepared are you for the coming talent storm?

  • 75% believe there is or will be a talent shortage.
  • 63% view retention as a significant challenge in 2011.
  • Less than 8% are fully prepared for retaining their top talent.
  • 75% believe there is talent gap between boomers and the younger generations.
