Exploration of Personality Theories

Exploration of Personality Theories

Imagine you received another email from your friend who is now six months into their new job. They are inviting you to their next staff meeting since you’ve been so helpful with their previous requests.

Hi!

I mentioned to my manager how helpful you have been in explaining the personality concepts we are using at work.

My manager has asked if you could come to our next staff meeting to speak with our team about behavioral, social-cognitive, and humanistic perspectives of personality.

I am hoping you can visit and help us all understand these theories. I have included the topics my manager would like you to cover below.

I really appreciate your help with this. Your insights were helpful last time, and I know you will deliver a wonderful presentation.

Thanks a bunch!

Your friend
