Personality Lingo
Ready to level up your communication?
Stop guessing how to communicate, start understanding people.
This interactive session gives you real tools to improve communication, build stronger relationships, and handle everyday stress with confidence at work and at home. You’ll explore the four communication styles, learn how to connect with each one, and discover what truly motivates others. Plus, gain insight into how stress shows up differently for each style so you can respond, not react.

About the Philadelphia Recovery Training Center
The Philadelphia Recovery Training Center (PRTC) is more than a training center. It is a place where peers, supervisors, and recovery professionals come to grow, lead, and strengthen the recovery community. PRTC provides recovery-focused, peer-centered trainings that support skill-building, professional growth, and continuing education. Our goal is to help individuals and organizations build confidence, strengthen leadership, and create lasting impact in the field.
As part of PRTC, the Philadelphia Peer Leadership Academy (PPLA) has been building peer leaders since 2007. PPLA was created through the vision and support of DBHIDS and PRO-ACT, who recognized the need for stronger peer-driven leadership in Philadelphia’s behavioral health system. The program was built on the belief that people with lived experience should have a voice in shaping services, strengthening communities, and leading system change. Together, PRTC and PPLA are committed to developing strong, confident, and community-rooted leaders who help move recovery forward.
Training services are free in Philadelphia through funding provided by the Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services (DBHIDS)
