The Mien Shiang Institute Corporate Seminars
For the past several years, innovative Fortune 500 companies have been utilizing Patrician McCarthy's Mien Shiang Corporate Workshops for success in Team Building, human resources, customer and client interactions.

Team Building
The Team building workshops are successful because they:
promote collaboration

facilitate respect among co-workers
garner acceptance of others' accomplishments
bring people, ideas and processes together
cultivate each employee's personal best
resolve conflicts
teach teams to emerge above the competition

Human Resources
Mien Shiang teaches human resources departments to:
utilize specific interviewing techniques for different personalities
hire the best people for the most appropriate position
reassign current employees to more suitable positions within the company

Customer and Client Interactions
Mien Shiang Workshops can improve a company's customer and client interaction by helping participants to:
assess the needs of prospective clients
give current clients what they need and want, while satisfying the company's needs as well

Uncover your team's hidden potential
Patrician McCarthy works with her clients to assess the personalities, strengths, and challenges of each member of a corporate team and teaches them how to use this information in a way that builds the most assured, productive and creative team possible.

Reveal each individual's strengths
Mien Shiang Corporate Workshops show participants how to better understand their own nature and that of their co-workers, employees, senior staff, and clients by using Mien Shiang and the Taoist Five Element philosophy. Most problems are a result of miscommunication and a misunderstanding of other people's motivations or natures.

For example: An employee who is perceived as being excessively dreamy may be a classic Water Element personality: He has a natural gift of imagination and needs the freedom to explore several paths before settling on the right one. Another team member who is playful and always laughing - classic Fire Element personality traits -- might be considered flighty or scattered by her more conservative coworkers, especially by the no-nonsense, practical and contained Metal Element personality.

Since there is no one correct way to behave or to approach a project, the challenge in many workplaces is in determining how to best utilize each member of the company so their diverse traits benefit themselves, their team, and the organization. Mien Shiang provides a powerful way to recognize one’s own qualities and the qualities of others, creating harmony and productivity for your organization.
