This Thursday, we’re diving deep into the fascinating world of brain dominance and personality awareness—and you don’t want to miss it.

Our upcoming event is based on the groundbreaking work of Dr. Katherine Benziger, a pioneer in personality assessing and the brilliant mind behind Thriving in Mind: The Natural Key to Sustainable Vitality. If you’ve ever taken a personality “test” and thought, That doesn’t feel quite right, you’re not alone—and Dr. Benziger would probably agree with you.

So, what makes her approach different?

For starters, she doesn’t call it a test.
Dr. Benziger refers to her system as personality assessment, not testing—because she believes personality isn’t something to score, grade, or label. Her model is based on identifying your brain’s natural dominance, helping you recognize the mode of thinking that energizes you rather than exhausts you.

Unlike more common tools like Myers-Briggs or DISC, Benziger’s assessment:

  • Focuses on how your brain processes information, not just behavior or traits

  • Distinguishes between natural preference and competency (just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean it brings you joy)

  • Warns against the psychological and physical toll of “falsifying type”—when we adapt too long to roles or behaviors that aren’t aligned with our brain’s natural strengths

Why does this matter?

Because understanding your true thinking style is a game-changer. It helps you:

  • Reduce burnout and decision fatigue

  • Build teams based on natural strengths

  • Lead and communicate with more authenticity

  • Align your work with what actually gives you energy and joy

This event isn’t about putting people in boxes. It’s about getting out of the wrong box you may have forced yourself into for too long.

What You’ll Learn Thursday:

  • The four brain modes and how they function

  • How to identify your own dominant mode

  • The red flags of “falsifying type”

  • How different dominances thrive in different careers

  • Why honoring your natural strengths leads to better health, performance, and motivation

Whether you’re a team leader, a lifelong learner, or just plain tired of personality tools that miss the mark, this session will help you see yourself—and your brain—through a whole new lens.
