Description
The programme reviews the MBTI framework and individual types with a focus on self-awareness and within-team communication. You will work on MBTI typing of others as a workplace assignment. This will leverage into communication strategies with internal customers, including development of a Communication Charter to support client engagements.
The programme will provide information, tools and practice of new communications behaviours. It will support adoption of these behaviours in the workplace setting.
