BECKETT HANAN

Bossman

Originally from Ireland, Beck's a TiNe (INTP) mastermind. He likes Googling everything, reading Orson Scott Card books, playing Go, and programming.

When he's not explaining the mysteries of the human psyche, you'll find him practicing Swedish, Japanese, or Esperanto or in the kitchen making bacon, steak, or (paleo) cookies.

 


BRE HANAN

El Presidente

When she's not typing characters from shows, Bre spends her free time reading kids' books, playing with her dog, and wishing she was in Ireland.

Bre's an FiSe (ISFP) and has a background in camera operation and technical-directing. She now works online so she's free to travel the world and not wear pants (each done separately).

What People are Saying:

When we first began our journey of building what is today the Emergence Assessment, we were looking for a unicorn that had the knowledge and skills to take an idea and turn it into reality. We needed someone that had the credibility and experience in the field of personality type, and knew it was going to be a pain to find them.

We assumed that the person we found wouldn’t be able to understand our needs and would require a lot of hand-holding. We were also worried it would take longer than expected, or wouldn’t meet the quality standards we were looking for.

What stood out about Beckett from the start was his confidence and easy-going attitude about the whole project. He spoke as if it was easy and already done. And overall, the experience was easy. The best part of working with Beckett was being surprised by his consistent over-delivering. He was always open to our ideas and thoughts and implemented everything he could, but he pushed back when he knew things wouldn’t work. This was much appreciated.

He accomplished 100% of every milestone and deliverable we needed. He gave us a custom assessment that is both incredibly accurate and valuable for a beta. Overall, we couldn’t be more happy with the results. In fact, we’ve made him a partner with us long-term because of our experience with him. Connecting with Beck was one of the best things that ever happened in our business.

I have found Beck to have a profound ability to identify the links that connect people in their efforts to establish effective communication with one another. His ability to understand widely varying personality types and provide strategies to overcome and connect in spite of those differences is unparalleled in my experience.

As a marketing and communications director in Redding, California, I had the opportunity to work directly with Beck for a prolonged period of time and found his input into various communication challenges invaluable. Not only did his input and guidance have a significant impact on my professional success, it has also affected my personal relationships and helped bridge many communication gaps, thus resulting in healthier and more enjoyable relationships.

You will find Beck’s to be excellent in his ability to provide practical solutions that are easy to implement in any area where you may be experiencing communication or relationship challenges, be they professional or personal.

For the first time in my life, I felt like I had an insight into how my brother functions. I began to realize that habits of his weren’t dysfunctional or backward, that he was just operating out of the core of his type. Knowing that his behavior was normal and actually REASONABLE, it helped me to stop picking at him, stop judging him, and begin to enjoy who he was.

Now I understand how to interact with him, I know how to communicate with him in a way that he appreciates, and I can fully appreciate who he is. The change in our relationship has been incredible. Honestly, he has become one of my best friends.

Just two short conversations with Beckett over Skype and I have seen major results.

Beck is not interested in fitting you into a box. If your behaviour breaks the mold of what others might say your four letter code should act like, then the profile of your type is what needs adjusting.
