Why TetraMap?

Have you ever been called blunt, bossy, or too critical of someone’s work? Have others accused you of being hesitant, indecisive, or not able to pay attention? Do people sometimes misread your intentions or not appreciate what you are trying to accomplish? Would you like to manage others better (including your boss)? Would you like to learn how to change their perceptions and create a powerful, effective working relationship? Are you looking for an easy way to understand and influence others?

Come experience the nature of behavior at the TetraMap Course and learn why you and others are like THAT!

Be it your boss, coworker, or subordinate, or client, the people you are trying to communicate with may not react the way you expect or take the actions you want them to. What if you could determine what they needed to take action or give approval? They might want more facts. They might want more background. They might want to hear more about the impact on people. Or they might want more bright colors and new ideas than you would. This applies if you’re pitching a sales proposal for your tech venture, writing a customer email or talking with your team in the office.

What is TetraMap?

Using nature’s strongest shape, the tetrahedron, the model helps individuals and teams understand and embrace differences, resolve conflict, improve communication and build profitable, sustainable working relationships.

How is this different from DISC and Myers Briggs?

Using the principles of neuroscience, other tools like DiSC, Myers Briggs etc, have similar roots when it comes to describing preferences and likely responses to situations. However, when it comes to applying the model to solve any organizational problem or personal communication, TetraMap is way ahead.  While DiSC and Myers Briggs are psychometric tools, TetraMap is about behavior. It is easier to apply when trying to understand other's behavior, and uses natural elements (earth, air, water, fire) as non judgemental language in discussion. TetraMap is a fast, intuitive and simple system for understanding how we behave differently in response to the same things. It uses the four elements of nature as an internationally recognized metaphor for describing our different preferences.

Earth: Firm like a mountain. Confident. Goals, control and winning are important. Quick, possible risky decisions come easily.

 Air: Clear like the wind. Orderly and focused. Logical solutions, listen and plan to ensure accuracy and quality.

Water: Calm like a lake. Caring and consistent. Help hold families and teams together. Loyal and deeply feeling. Steadfast and patient. Desire harmony.

Fire: Bright like the sun. Love to explore possibilities and inspire others. Often colourful, love variety and have a great sense of fun.
