Course summary

This practical session provides a constructive, flexible and reliable way to gain insight into differences of approach. In particular, it promotes greater self-awareness by looking at how you perceive the world and how you prefer to interact with others – both at work and in everyday life. The approach is based upon Carl Jung’s observation that seemingly random variations in behaviour are actually very consistent and can usually be predicted due to identifiable patterns in the way people prefer to use their perception and judgment. During this highly informative programme, a variety of methods, practical exercises and activities are used to help you explore your own personality preferences in detail.

Emphasising the value of diversity in any group, you will acknowledge the impact of your own expressed preferences on the way you work with others and reduce any potential for unintended conflict to occur. Identification of your individual strengths will then support the development of interpersonal communication skills and extend opportunities to improve your productivity and personal relationships, providing a foundation for lasting change.
