Emotional Intelligence Training

Myers Briggs Type Indicator with Emotional Intelligence

The MBTI tool allows people to understand themselves and the importance of how differences at work enable a stronger more versatile team in identifying different perspectives.  The activity-based session allows people to develop a deeper understanding of their own preferred style and their impact on others in the workplace.  People will gain an insight into how they may need to adjust their “natural” style to get good results. It will help people working alongside others to answer the question “what’s it like to work with me?” whilst helping them to understand the importance of Emotional Intelligence when at work.

Emotional Intelligence

Using Myers Briggs, we will focus on the ability to understand, use, and manage our own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathise with others, overcome challenges, and defuse conflict.

We will focus on the theories created by Daniel Goleman and look at using these approaches whilst at work and with colleagues you work with.

The quality of working relationships within a team and business is fundamental to its success. The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) tool allows people to identify different perspectives on relationships within the team. It will allow people to develop a deeper understanding of their own preferred style and their impact in the workplace and encouraging people to work with strong emotional intelligence.

The discussion-based session allows people to gain an insight into how they may need to adjust their “natural” style to get good results. It will help people to answer the question “what’s it like to work with/for me?” The MBTI session organised for you is a group session that requires honesty and openness from the attendees.
