Why should MY team do a Myers-Briggs workshop?
There is a powerful tool that you can use to increase productivity, reduce conflict and influence your bottom line. This tool will show you and your team how to capitalize on diversity so that you can more easily maximize individual strengths and fill potential gaps. If you are interested in developing your people to their full potential, consider conducting a Myers-Briggs Introductory Workshop for the members of your organization.
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a personality profiling tool that can help individuals understand their own natural ways of processing information, making decisions and dealing with the outside world. With over 50 years of practical research, the MBTI has taken the forefront as the most widely used personality inventory in the world.
Having a full understanding of your personality type can give you practical ideas to:
- Communicate in ways that promote understanding
- Solve nagging conflict that gets in the way of team performance
- Increase morale so productivity will follow
- Help people learn faster so they can be productive sooner
- Deal with stress in ways that give longer lasting results
- Implement organizational change more successfully with less resistance
- And much, much more.
In just a matter of hours, you can take a team of employees and get them to work smarter, instead of just harder. You’ll achieve this by giving them the opportunity to experience first hand, what it means to work in harmony with their natural talents.
Create a stronger, more efficient team in just hours…
Individuals who understand how their minds work can take control of information in a more powerful way. They can increase the effectiveness of taking in information so they can process more information faster. Once they have the information, knowing how their brain naturally organizes the information can make decision-making a faster and more successful process.
You’ve heard the saying that ‘time flies when you’re having fun.’ This workshop will have just begun when you realize it’s time to wrap up. As people begin to discover some inner truths about themselves, and potentially the people they work with, the excitement level increases and the fun factor multiplies. Often times, people just don’t want it to end. But end it must, and the first powerful step has been taken to improving personal productivity in all areas of life.
