What: WIE & ASME Baltimore sections will be hosting a networking social event with beer/wine at Key Technologies. Come enjoy the beautiful spring weather, meet other engineers in the Baltimore area and get a few tips from Ms. Kimball on working with various personality types Speaker: Miriam Kimball - Guide to communicating with various personality types Speaker Bio: Ms. Kimball is a graduate of Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame, Indiana with a B.A. in Psychology and holds a M.Ed. in Human Development from the University of Maryland. She has completed certificate training from the Effectiveness Training Institute, Solana Beach, California and the Washington Hypnosis Training Institute, Washington, D.C. Upon receiving her graduate degree she became an instructor in the Psychology Department at the College of Southern Maryland and continues in that capacity today. She was among the first adjunct faculty members to be awarded full certification by the College. In 1981, Ms. Kimball established a training and organizational development consultancy in Southern Maryland. She develops and conducts seminars for a variety of organizations including governmental, health, educational, financial and utilities. Ms. Kimball's seminars span topics such as communication and interpersonal skills, team building, conflict resolution, stress and time management, understanding personality types, customer service excellence, leadership and supervisory skills, and pre-retirement planning. Ms. Kimball organizational development expertise includes planning and conducting management retreats, conflict resolution interventions and meeting facilitation services. Additionally, she has designed and presented an annual series of CEU seminars for nursing home administrators for over 20 years. Ms. Kimball is an adjunct faculty member of the Graduate School, where she instructs courses and develops customized training programs. She has provided training to employees of most major federal agencies. In 1996, Ms. Kimball developed a series of customer contact training modules, which were selected for presentation throughout the United States. Ms. Kimball was named as the recipient of the Graduate School's Faculty Excellence Award in 1997. Summary: Ms. Kimball talked about categorizing various personality types with four representative birds: dove, eagle, owl, and peacock. Dove represents people who are sensitive to others' feelings and who are people-pleaser and tend to avoid confrontation. On the opposite end, eagles are people who are goal oriented, bold, dominant, and maybe stubborn and insensitive to others' feelings. Peacock represents people who are spontaneous and attention lovers, where owl represents strong logical and analytical people who are great thinkers and problem solvers. By understanding how to categorize people (self included) based on the dominant personality traits, we can apply different techniques in communicating with each personality types. The talk was fun, interactive, and informative. Thank you Mimi for a great lecture.
