TOPIC: True 2 Type Teambuilding
A half-day or one-day session that uses the MBTI personality assessment for teambuilding with
audiences ranging from 10 to 100 employees. Personality type is explored to create understanding
of communication and working style differences, thus promoting better working relationships.
Course Overview: Personality differences can create innovation and synergy between people, or, if differences are not understood, can prompt misunderstanding and anger. In this dynamic and humorous workshop, participants learn through discovery-based group exercises about their own personality preferences and that of others. With this knowledge, they are able to value the differences better and learn how to communicate and work with others more effectively. They will also learn how to avoid type bias and type labeling. Course prework includes the MBTI self assessment.
