Foreword
BY JOSÉ LUIS STEVENS, LCSW, PHD
For over 30 years I have worked as a clinical social worker and a psychologist as
well as a trainer and educator of management in the corporate world and public
sector. I have taught graduate students in counselling programs, including
theories of personality. Acquainted with all the main personality typologies, I
have never found a map to understanding human behaviour as powerful as the
Michael Teaching, a philosophy I have professionally referred to as
TM
Personnessence . In my opinion it is hands-down the most comprehensive and
insightful description of human nature and human behaviour that I have ever
come across. For this reason I have adopted it as my main approach for
understanding and assisting people from all over the world and all walks of life,
with exceptionally favourable and often extraordinary results.
I have found through my work with thousands of people that by understanding
the personality types (Roles), my clients have been able to shift into more
appropriate work situations, understand their own natural inclinations better,
take advantage of their talents, and stop judging themselves for not being able to
do what others do better. When people stop comparing themselves and
concentrate on what they do best, they find greater happiness and satisfaction.
The Roles are part of an incredibly rich, comprehensive and multi-dimensional
philosophy of life. Yet they are central to the system, so it makes sense to have
an entire book devoted to them. Knowing about the seven Roles can be such a
key to understanding your life that this knowledge can by itself unlock the
secrets to help you meet your full potential.
Elizabeth Puttick has studied and practised methods of self-development,
including this system, for many years and worked successfully in the business
and media worlds. She has had the opportunity, as I have, to test and apply it
practically in life and work. She successfully gets to the core of this system and
so is able to communicate it to a much wider audience. Fortunately, this will
allow countless people who have not heard of it before to enjoy the benefits of
this powerful body of knowledge. Elizabeth has interviewed many examples of
each Role and presents directly from their own experience what it is like to be a
Warrior, a Priest, a Server, or an Artisan.
Not only will you find this book fascinating and highly informative, but it will
