MBTI Workshop

Overview

The quality of working relationships, both within a team and with colleagues in any business, is fundamental to its success. MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) allows people to develop a deeper understanding of their own preferred style and impact in the workplace, and therefore gain some insights into how they might sometimes need to adjust their “natural” style to get good results.

This one day workshop will enable delegates to answer the question “what’s it like to work with / for me?” It also uses the VARK assessment to help delegates gain a better understanding of their preferred Learning Styles.
