Working with Different Personalities (MBTI)
MBTI is a self-report questionnaire designed to make personality types understandable and useful in everyday life. MBTI results identify valuable differences between normal people; differences that can be the source of much misunderstanding and miscommunication. The information enhances understanding of motivation, natural strength, and potential areas for development. It also helps individuals appreciate others who differ from themselves because of its observation of basic patterns in human behaviour. Overall, MBTI is used for a variety of purposes, including self-understanding and development, problem solving, conflict resolution, and improving group communication.
Expected Outcomes:
Understand your own personality type preferences and the uses of the MBTI
Acquire a basic understanding of type concepts and how they influence our interactions
Learn personal preferences for becoming energized, taking in information and making decisions
Learn to appreciate, value, and work with all of the sixteen personality types
Learn how to work through conflict that arises from type differences on teams
Identify team strengths and blind spots
Discuss strategies for improving team communication
This fun, highly interactive workshop provides you and your team with an effective framework designed to help your team function more productively.
By exploring personality types, participants gain insight into their own preferences, strengths, and working styles, as well as those of their colleagues. This fosters effective communication, reduces conflicts, and enhances collaboration—creating an environment where diverse perspectives thrive. With MBTI as a guide, leaders and teams can build trust, adapt to challenges, and achieve shared goals with renewed confidence and synergy.
