< Back Elizabeth Dunn Director of Digital Strategy & Membership ENFP BAPT.membership@personality-type.uk I trained as a psychodynamic, and then a transpersonal therapist and worked clinically with children, young people and families in London for 10 years before moving into transformation and leadership. I have since added Improvement Science, appreciative inquiry and MBTI training. I first experienced type 15 years ago as an improvement leader transformation programme, and it has been part of my journey ever since. I completed my certification 4 years ago, when I was asked to design and deliver a development programme for healthcare leaders, and we included MBTI as part of understanding self and others modules – what a joy it was to witness the aha moments about self and others and see how this knowledge could be used to support teams and organisations to grow and transform. I continue working with individuals, teams and organisations to support their development. And how did I end up on the board? I was inspired, very gently and skilfully, by Jerry Gilpin, who talked to me about the future of BAPT and wondered if I might be interested in joining the board – I was delighted to say yes. I'm keen to work with the board, members and the wider Type community to empower people to realise their full potential.

< Back Sue Blair Director of Events ESTJ BAPT.events@personality-type.uk Sue brings a wealth of knowledge in Psychological Type having been involved with Type communities around the world for over 20 years. She has a professional background in sales and management. She was Business Development Manager at the technology subsidiary of British Airways before leaving to raise a family in New Zealand. Unsurprisingly, life changed considerably at this point. Raising children is predictably challenging, time consuming and thought provoking with stress, exhaustion and joy thrown into the mix. The parenting role was definitely a massive training ground with a steep learning curve which continues, no matter how old your children are. A love of Type developed as it became the golden thread through the parenting journey that helped each of her family members to thrive. After completing the MBTI qualification programme she set up her own company, Personality Dynamics. For the past twenty-four years she has worked as a coach, presenter and facilitator in a wide range of situations; starting with parenting courses and going on to work with youth development, careers advisers, educators at all levels and also going back to corporates running team building and leadership programmes. Her work has always centred around Type. She is also the creator of The Personality Puzzles, these are coaching card resources now used worldwide by coaches and therapists to create meaningful conversations whilst supporting learning about Type. There are versions of the cards for adults, teens and educators. Having started on the board as Director of Education, she has now taken on the role of Director of Events. Sue will co-ordinate a varied programme of webinars, Type Q & A sessions, online conferences as well as an in-person conference every 18 months. She would welcome any input from members on events that may appeal. Please feel free to be in touch by email at BAPT.events@personality-type.uk The metaphorical door is always open, and she would be delighted to hear from you.
