Team Development: MBTI®

The success of any organisation begins with the effectiveness of of its people and their team interactions.

Introduction

This workshop introduces the MBTI ……to help participants learn how their personality preferences lead to differences in their work, how they communicate with others and importantly how they make decisions - their decision making style. With knowledge of their individual style participants learn how to '“flex” their natural preferences to accomodate the styles of other team members, capitalise on team strengths, address weaknesses and enhance overall performance.

Workshop Objectives

  • Build a strong cohesive team by developing common understanding and improved communication

  • Understand how you perceive, absorb and process information

  • Recognise how others may perceive, absorb and process information differently to yourself

  • Recognise and appreciate communication and information absorption differences in colleagues

  • learn to value and capitalise on differing MBTI types in your team

Each participant takes an online MBTI® assessment that can be debriefed prior to the workshop. Each participant also receives a copy of the Introduction to Introduction to Myers-Briggs® Type booklet.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
