Getting along: growing together
Today families are under extreme pressure – time to relax, connect with and appreciate each other is hard to find. With a Tall Trees family profile, you can reveal each family member’s distinctive style and needs. Tall Tress helps you to isolate those conflict buttons and teach you to use a communication style that fits your family’s unique personality blends.
You can order a profile test online and the link is emailed directly to you, or to get the most out of it; book a family workshop and feedback session. They will compare each family member’s core characteristics by looking at three distinct areas to help understand each type. First they establish a work/school profile, which shows how you tackle a task; next, they consider your social profile – how you interact and communicate with others. Finally, they look at your life view profile; how past events have shaped your thinking and reactions. From these, they get a full profile. Now you can establish what each person needs to grow, where their sweet spot is, and what drains them of energy. Often family conflict starts with misunderstanding and difference in styles of communication, rather than cruel intentions. With understanding comes appreciation, easier forgiveness and better communication.
Children and teens are overwhelmed by who the media and their peers say they need to be – give them the opportunity to find out who they truly are and to embrace their own unique design.
Parents can complete the parenting profile that shows your parenting viewpoint; discipline profile and how you nurture your children. Couples can be more effective if they can learn to overcome their discipline, mentoring and nurturing difference. With your children and teens’ profile, you can establish their personality, needs, challenges and gifts. When you marry the two together in a guided family map, you can make a more effective plan; matching your discipline, nurturing and mentoring style to their personalities. Tall Trees will help you to create a personal Family Map to help you going forward. Tall Trees uses trees as their analogies to describe various blends of personalities – it’s a positive and affirming way to embrace who you are. Families may be made up of a wild forest of differences, but Tall Trees can turn this into a garden.
The kids’ test is in the form of interactive videos that take only 20 minutes, the teens and parents test takes 12 minutes and reports are generated straight away. Your facilitator will talk you through the profiles and Family Map at the feedback sessions.
Families can enjoy a better bond, have less conflict and grow in mutual respect through a deeper understanding of who you each are, what your needs are and which buttons not to push.
