MBTI Coaching
“The greatest gift you can give to somebody is your own personal development.”
– Jim Rohn
MBTI Coaching for growth and development
The MBTI is an excellent tool to help people understand their strengths and working style preferences. It provides individuals with a greater understanding of personality differences, and greater self-awareness of the things that interest and motivate them.
Many people believe they have self-awareness, but true self-awareness is a rare quality. Research shows that when we see ourselves more clearly, we can lead more satisfying lives. We communicate more effectively and are more effective as partners, team players and leaders,.
When you work with a certified MBTI Practitioner, you
Develop a deeper understanding and awareness of the similarities and differences among people
Understand your behavioral patterns, motivations and areas of opportunity
Can plan and execute a strategy to improve your personal and professional growth
Benefits of learning the MBTI tool and its practical application
-
Studies consistently emphasize the importance of effective communication. Organizational scientist Sunnie Giles studied 195 leaders in 15 countries over 30 organizations. His results are consistent with much of the research on effective leaders. Effective leaders communicate often, clearly and openly.
-
Research by Tom Rath, author of the bestselling book Strengths Finder shows the impact of human behaviour on business and well-being. Leaders need competence in certain domains to be effective – executing, influencing, relationship building and strategic thinking. The MBTI tool provides an excellent framework to understand and address these domains through the lens of personality type.
-
Developing your emotional intelligence leads to greater success. People with higher levels of emotional intelligence are better at managing change, stress, others and themselves. The MBTI framework addresses these aspects providing an opportunity to live a more fulfilled life.
-
Great teamwork is essential to successful organizations. Yet, many companies grapple with effectively working as a team. Greater self-awareness, better communication, and an openness to understanding others (before jumping to conclusions) are traits of an effective team.
-
Leaders that understand the social aspects of change and the decision-making and resistance that arises because of one’s blind spots, are more successful leading their companies through change. The MBTI tool provides individuals with an approach to understand and appreciating how people accept and manage change.
“A workplace that encourages self-awareness is an environment where the most productive, curious, and innovative people thrive.”
