I just returned from the FEBI certification training weekend = great people, rich learning! I've been personally working with the patterns through InterPlay (www.interplay.org) for almost two decades and am inspired by the FEBI's assessment design, making this critical perspective on energy patterns accessible and ready to apply in leading and life.
My own biggest insight in working with my FEBI results is focused on the relationship of my patterns in my process. I've worked on developing all four patterns over these years. Currently Visionary has moved to the fore as I develop my PhD proposal, and engage in envisioning my unique contribution through this academic work. Are the Driver and Organizer weak because now they are in 3rd and 4th position in my FEBI? Having utilized them for 30 years as my "bread and butter" skillset (program director, project manager), I know the answer is no. In pondering my FEBI, I notice how I have put D and O, as well as the Collaborator, in service of the Visionary. To use a software metaphor, I see them as "running in the background."
In my consulting and coaching practice, I notice that I combine patterns and move them to the foreground depending on what role I need to shift into to be an asset to individual client or team in which I participate.
Look forward to dialoging in this community of interest and practice!
