Enhancing Communication Skills and Building Productive Relationships Working with Different Personality Types. Developing leaders, teams and organisations to be their best for the world. ENHANCING COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND BUILDING PRODUCTIVE RELATIONSHIPS | Myers Briggs Type Indicator Workshop About the Workshop Benefits of Attending Our understanding of and reaction to others is a key to both effectiveness and satisfaction at work. Working productively and smoothly together requires that we understand ourselves as well as our co-workers. The learnings obtained from a Myer Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) workshop are applicable to a wide range of situations that involve the need to understand our own and others’ behaviours, decisions and orientations and how these can be identified and managed for optimum effectiveness and performance. Participating in this program will enable you to: ·· Improve and build positive relationships at work and home ·· Learn the key elements and differences of psychological preferences ·· Understand your own preferences and identify areas of strength and potential for growth ·· Explore strategies to manage different types to improve communications, avoid conflict and maximise potential About the MBTI Who Should Attend? After more than fifty years of research and development, the MBTI is the most widely used instrument for understanding personality differences. Its importance in the areas of leadership and management development is well documented throughout the world. Presenter The MBTI has been widely used in organisations to help people understand and work with psychological preferences that powerfully influence the way they think, work and communicate. When used with teams, this tool can help clarify differences in personal preferences, work styles and interpersonal dynamics – the very issues that can often make or break successful team functioning. The MBTI can help teams understand how to make the most of the inherent capabilities different people bring to their shared tasks. An understanding of individual differences assists in reducing conflict by redirecting potential sources of misunderstanding. An MBTI workshop offers the opportunity for each participant to take the instrument and receive a comprehensive report that describes their type. Taking the MBTI enhances our understanding of ourselves, as well as our natural strengths and potential areas for growth. Topics Include This workshop is suitable for individuals and teams who wish to improve their interpersonal communications at work or in their personal life.
