People Patterns: Discovering Giftedness in the Sunlight and Shadow of Relationships - Softcover

There are Five People Patterns of how we talk to ourselves and relate to others. We all have Sunlight and Shadow in our lives. Artists and great authors have painted pictures with oils and words to show the light and dark in human relationships. Rembrandt van Rijn, the great Dutchartist, often painted using a strong light source, creating deep shadows on his subject. Some of the uniqueness that is you is easy to see.Another part of you is much harder to understand. To see our Sunlightand Shadows, we can use the Five People Patterns: Mentor - coach anddevelop others; Administrator - set rules for successful living;Catalyst - spur others on to new levels of success; Relational - bringharmony and compassion to others; Overseer - keep people on track andorganized. As sunlight falls on you, others can easily see who you are.In deep shadows, it is far harder for others to see you. In the sameway, we reflect our personality to others in the Sunlight Pattern. Inthe sunlight we show our strengths for all to see. Our Shadow containsour weaknesses and limitations, things that are awkward or harder for us to do. In the bright sunlight we see our strengths and in the shadowswe see our limitations. Sunlight and Shadow form the People Pattern.
