Assertive Grouping: Wired to Move Toward

This episode introduces the Hornevian Triads, which describe three distinct social stances — the ways we instinctively move in relation to others and the world around us. Every type belongs to one of three groups: Compliant (Ones, Twos, and Sixes), Withdrawn (Fours, Fives, and Nines), or Assertive (Threes, Sevens, and Eights). Understanding which group you belong to can be just as illuminating as knowing your type. We start with a panel representing the Assertive Grouping. Assertives tend to lead with themselves first. They're self-referencing — their inner compass, desire, or agenda naturally orients them before they check in with the room. That's not selfishness. It's a wiring. And recognizing it can change a lot — in the workplace, in relationships, and in how you lead. Representing Type 3 is Michele Lonergan. Representing Type 7 is Anthony Pleetanino. And Type 8 is represented by Rachel Leduc. Learn more about Rachel and her work at https://www.rachel-leduc.com
