With MBTI integrated into a coaching programme, you the client will gain powerful new insights into your drivers and behaviours. Understand why you face challenges of juggling too many balls or not completing tasks. Gain an insight into how you naturally find it 'easier' to communicate with some people than others. Do you need structure to function more effectively? Do you misunderstand others who need more personal attention or those who don't think before speaking? A 2 hour session with Loraine and MBTI, following completion of a postal questionnaire, will add greater awareness and an opportunity to understand how changes can be achieved. It will illuminate all those hidden reasons for our behaviour and will provide a solid foundation for building coaching outcomes. Loraine has been a senior operational manager in the public sector, managed a Human Resources consultancy service and for over 5 years has been developing people and supporting organisations through coaching and training capabilities.
