As a coach, you have gifts that you naturally bring to coaching interactions. At the same time you have blind spots. Are you detail-oriented, or do you naturally see the big picture? Do you use logic or internal feeling values when making a decision or asking a powerful question? Are you organized in your approach to coaching or more open-ended? Are you more introspective or action-oriented when working with clients? We all use all of the strategies above, but we tend to favor one over the other.

When you know both your gifts and blind spots, your life as a coach gets a lot easier. You see where you may need to focus your attention in order to deliver top quality service to your clients. As a result, interactions come alive with possibility and promise. 

This course introduces you to the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI). Or if you have taken the MBTI in the past, this course gives you specific tools you can use to sharpen your approach and fulfill the needs of those with different preferences. You will see what energizes you (Extraversion or Introversion), how you gather information and data (Sensing or Intuition), how you make decisions (Thinking or Feeling) and how you choose to relate to the world (Judging or Percieving).

You will learn about your own preferences, your developmental “edge,” how to increase your communication effectiveness with a variety of clients, and what stressors affect your type. You’ll also learn specific practices that you can use to regain equilibrium yourself after a stressful event, situation or coaching session.

In this course you will:

• Learn about the MBTI, what it does and does not measure
• Fill out the MBTI and see a detailed analysis of your own type
• Assess your strengths as a coach
• Recognize your “blind spots” as a coach and what to do about them
• Discover how your type interacts with clients who have different preferences
• See how your MBTI type reacts to stress
• Learn specific ways to regain equilibrium

We guarantee that, as with all of our webinars, this course will be informative, engaging, and fun. Come join us!
