Knowing Yourself, Knowing Others – Using Myers Briggs to improve communication, build effective teams and promote staff engagement

About the event

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is based on Carl Jung’s theory of psychological type and provides a lens for understanding personal preferences in four dimensions.   Knowing your dimensions can help you to better understand yourself and your interactions with others. MBTI is widely used in organisational settings where different psychological types are represented.  While diversity in the workplace is healthy and stimulating, it can also lead to tension, stress and misunderstandings. In this session, you will learn that by knowing and understanding your own and others’ types, individuals and the workplace can benefit from improved communication, more effective teams and greater staff engagement.

The event is free and please feel free to share this invitation with others. If for any reason you are unable to make the event, please email bendigohr@gmail.com
