The Four Tendencies

The 4 Tendencies
The 4 Tendencies

Create long-lasting habits & transform your working relationships.

Applying Gretchen Rubin’s “Four Tendencies”, the amazingly simple but powerful personality profiling model, to your world of work will not only transform your understanding of what motivates you and your colleagues but will also open up a whole new toolbox for how to communicate with stakeholders and customers at every level.

During this session we’ll explore the pros and cons of each tendency and help you to identify which tendency applies to you and to those around you.  With this knowledge, you’ll be equipped to really tailor your communications and interactions with your colleagues (trust us, they will no longer ignore you!), but also to wider groups and stakeholders outside your own “tendency bubble”.

We’ll even spend some time action-planning how you will use these techniques in real life. (And the benefits very often spill out into your personal relationships too, making life better for you and those close to you!).

Who should attend?

  • Anyone at any level who is a human and works with other humans!
  • Anyone who wants to be better at creating habits for themselves.

Extremely informative - the psychology of what makes people tick as individuals and how to work more successfully within my team and with other colleagues.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is this workshop suitable for people who are sceptical of personality frameworks?
    Yes. We keep the session practical, light and focused on real behaviour rather than labels. Participants quickly see how the Four Tendencies explain everyday patterns in motivation, communication and follow-through without feeling boxed in.
    Is this workshop only for managers?
    Not at all. Anyone can benefit. Managers get insight into supporting different preference types, and individuals learn how to work more effectively with colleagues who think and respond differently.
    Is this similar to DISC or MBTI?
    It’s simpler. The Four Tendencies focuses specifically on how people respond to expectations, which makes it highly practical for everyday work.
    Will participants work with real examples from their day-to-day roles?
    Yes. We apply the framework to real communication challenges, workload habits, team dynamics and motivation issues so participants leave with concrete actions.
