WHAT GRADUATES ARE SAYING

Clients gain a profound understanding of their typology, not as a blueprint, but as a means to navigate life’s waves. It shows them their unique gifts, how to bring them into the world and find the opposing qualities, quite often hidden in unconscious depths, to bring them to wholeness. Paving the path for a meaningful relationship with themselves and others, making career decisions that bring fulfillment.

Very organised, great mix of materials and plenty of opportunity for discussion.

I enjoyed the depth and richness of the content, the interaction and direct learning from instructors. The practical learning on how to "read the melody" has also been great. Small class sizes are much appreciated!

The training has been very rich and has exceeded my expectations!

Adlerian Psychologist

I found the training deepened my understanding of Jung's model of the psyche and found the tools for working with the deep psyche better than anything else out there.

Norman Wolfe

Author of The Living Organization

For OVAJA, the value of the approach and training materials was three-fold: getting us back to Jung's own thinking and words re: his psychology of individuation; helping us to appreciate the nuances of our own group profile, including how our society's collective shadow may affect our meetings and decisions; and lastly, by breathing life back into a theory which, like any which attempts to slice and dice the human psyche, needs the warmth of a human storyteller to keep it alive

Jan Zalla

A thoroughly engaging and informative course which led me to think deeply about my own psychological type and to consider what gifts I can bring to the analytical psychology profession. The GCI inventory remains true to Jung's classic theory of psychological types and takes you on a journey to discover yourself and others while giving you a great tool to help your clients, both in the workplace and private practice, to raise their own awareness and understanding of their psychological type in the context of individuation.

Nicolau Toko

Diploma Candidate, Analytical Psychology, International School of Analytical Psychology, Zurich; UK

“I made discoveries about my own type preferences. I had never really learned Jung's typology properly, and had a very erroneous and superficial grasp of it. I realized as well that I had picked up quite a bit of misuse of the typology in my Jungian training. The elaborations of the typology resolves a lot of the problems my colleagues and I had in trying to apply it . . . The elaboration of typology resolves a lot of the problems my colleagues and I had in trying to apply it. I loved the Reading the Melody practicums. They're great! This is the first time that I feel I understand Jung's model.”

Mira Khazzam

Jungian Analyst, Canada

The Gifts Compass Training helped me to deepen all my previous knowledge about the psychological types and individuation and relate it to my personal life, relationships and professional interactions as a coach. It allowed me to go further in my ability to help my clients deepen their human development. I confidently recommend this course to individuals and professionals who want to learn more about themselves and those with whom they interact.

Joana Areias

The GCI training has been an enriching experience not only for allowing me to work in depth with the Jungian theory of types, but to also practice it and to apply it in a very warm and creative space.

Luis Moris

Analista junguiano, Suíça

The reading and lectures have helped me appreciate how clearly Jung wrote about the unfolding, individuating personality at the centre of his psychic model, and that the psychological types and functions are key to its exploration. . . As someone who does not enjoy the purely conceptual, watching film and discussing it with a group, has enlivened the training and made it so much more fun for me than pure guided reading.

Joanna Murphy

MD, Student of Analytical Psychology, C. G. Jung Institute, Zurich; UK

The Gifts Compass training has provided a well-grounded understanding of Jung’s type model, and illustrated how understanding the types is profoundly important for personal growth and transformation. I have used the DiSC Personal Profile with my coaching clients for years but the Gifts Compass adds a whole new dimension. I recommend this training to anyone who wants to go deeper.

Barb Mauntler

Executive Coach, Organizational Development Consultant, USA

I found the course to be very interesting and presented in an easy to digest form. I think that the tools it provided alongside the terminology and insights from Jungian psychology are fascinating and they helped me better understand my relationships with friends, family and colleagues. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning more about psychology and themselves.

“I loved sessions 5 and 6, as well as the Reading the Melody practicums. They're great! 🙂 And building the bridge between theory and real life via movies is a great idea!

Training with Gift’s Compass brought a fullness of understanding and comprehension of Jung’s typological system to the point where I could work with it both analytically and astrologically. It was a wonderful and deepening experience.

Max Black

Diplomate Jungian Analyst, C. G. Jung Institute, Küsnacht, Switzerland

"Gifts Compass has the outstanding merit of staying close to Jung’s original intention of linking psychological type theory to the individuation process. It is a brilliant contribution to the field of typological theory and practice. Of all the attempts to apply psychological type theory to models of counseling and coaching, this is by far the best.
