cOMMUNICATION
Program
“If you don’t know what an Extravert is thinking, you haven’t been listening. If you don’t know what an Introvert is thinking, you haven’t asked.”
– Isabel Briggs Myers
Communication in the workplace can be a huge challenge when dealing with a team that has differing personalities. It can be a cause of frustration, anxiety, and stress overall if you do not take the time to understand the values that each differing personality brings to the work floor. When team members understand each other, and the different perspectives that each member brings, they will appreciate each other, value each other’s input, and create a stronger bond with their team.
Understanding Your Communication Style
The goal of these sessions is to bridge a gap to help team members communicate effectively, efficiently and use each other’s strengths in communicating well with one another.
These sessions also help individuals increase their self-awareness, identify their strengths, blind spots, and gaps that would be filled by their colleagues. The results of these are improved individual and organizational performance overall, and most importantly enhancing team communication and dynamics.
Session Outcomes
Identify communication patterns
Readily identify specific communication patterns, as well as the strengths of these patterns and potential issues that must be acknowledged and addressed.
reframe information
Clarify and reframe information to better suit the communication styles of others. You will understand your type strengths and that of others to communicate in a way that relates to everyone's type.
build stronger relationships
See type as a tool for building stronger relationships among all individuals. MBTI types allows us to understand how to connect better with others in turn improving and enhancing our relationships.
enhance listening skills
Identify biases and hot buttons for listeners that distort meaning when they are communicating with others. You will be able to listen more intently using type and responding effectively.

Sessions
Session 1: Introduction to the MBTI & Instructions for the Assessment
In this session, participants are introduced to the concept of the Myers Briggs Type Indicator. Participants are also provided with the instructions and the link to take the online MBTI assessment.
Session 2: Type Verification
In the Type Verification session, participants will learn about the MBTI dichotomies through multiple team activities. In these activities, you will learn about the differences between Extraversion & Introversion, Sensing & Intuition, Thinking & Feeling, and Judging & Perceiving. Learning about these dichotomies helps individuals identify their "true type" or their "natural preferences", after which they can recognize their non-preferences and areas of growth and development.
Session 3: Understanding the team's Communication Style
In this session, teams participate in understanding their own and each other's communication styles through a series of team activities. This session is focused on helping teams effectively understand and use their preferred types, how to develop their non-preferences, and how to bridge the communication gap amongst teams.
Session 4: The Z-Model
During this session we discuss the Z-Model Strategy. Participants learn how to use their mental functions to improve the way they plan and strategize for personal and work projects. The Z-model is a great tool that can be used to brain storm what happened in the past, how to improve it for the future, looking at all possibilities, and solutions to make objective decisions while keeping the human factor in mind.
Session 5: Follow-up coaching
This is a follow up session to learn about the progress of the team. Each team member shares how they used the MBTI tool in their personal and work lives, and how they enhanced team communication on the work floor. Team members share the progress of their commitments and create new action plans to continue using the tool.
