Hi Everyone! There’s a few more weeks left in 2024 but I know you are already filling your calendar with events, meetings and trainings.
I’ve created my Person Centered Thinking Training Calendar for 2025….. my gift to you!!! Print it, hang it where you do you work. Use is as a guide to practice your PCT skills throughout the year.
Set aside 30 or 60 minutes each month to review your notes and activities from your recent PCT Training.
I know there are so many other trainings you need to squeeze in your calendar but remember that old saying…… “If you don’t use it, you lose it”. Same goes for PCT skills.
Follow me on social media and here. I’ll give you tips, reminders and encouragement to keep you going throughout the year.
And as always. If you need any PCT support please don’t hesitate to reach out.

It’s January!
Right now, look at your calendar and find 30 to 60 minutes where you and your team/family/support team can reflect on this skill.
Important To and Important For (and the Balance between them) is one of the core concepts of Person Centered Thinking. It is linked to each skill and something to always keep in mind when negotiating support and resolving conflict.
Look back on your notes from your recent PCT Training. Remember the differences between those things that are Important TO you and Important FOR you.
One common misconception about Person Centered Thinking is that people get whatever they want all the time. We know that’s not the case, there’s more to it. It’s about BALANCE!
Sometimes to get that balance there are trade offs, or compromises, and an opportunity to gain a different perspective or knowledge.
How can you strike that balance?
As always, if you need help making space for PCT in your life or with your team let me know how I can help.

One Page Profiles are a great opportunity to introduce yourself in a way that you want people to know you better!
I can’t emphasize this enough….. Whoever the One Page Profile is about… that person MUST be a part of making it! I know from working in Human Services we have so many things on our plates. MAKE INTENTIONAL TIME to meet with people, talk with them, know them better and understand how they want other people to get to know them.
(continuing my rant)…… While we may think, “but I’ve worked with them for so long, I know what they are going to say”. Doesn’t matter! They need to be a part of creating this. Things in life change…. I know I’m not the same person I was 5 years ago. Don’t assume you know someone, hear it from them.
You got this!
