The focus for this masterclass is to build greater insight into participants’ personal impact on others and how recognising participants’ own preferences can influence behaviour whilst under pressure and in situations involving conflict.
Gaining an understanding of others starts with developing a good understanding of yourself, your personality preferences and recognising the stresses associated with operating outside of your preferences.
Integral to this masterclass is the use of a psychometric tool to support participants to understand their personality preferences and the associated behaviours. Our recommendation would be to use the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to explore and clarify personality preferences. MBTI is a valid and reliable psychometric tool which aims to explore differences in a positive way.
