TYPEd training doesn’t give individuals an excuse to blame poor work ethic or poor decision-making on their personality flaws. Rather, it challenges individuals to recognize blind spots and understand how to adjust behaviors – especially in light of teammates, partners or clients who think differently.
Blind spots are personality challenges that are unknown to an individual. In not knowing, individuals often react to situations in a way that can have negative consequences. Understanding blind spots, learning about triggers, and finding ways to avoid these instances can greatly impact a workforce and lead to more successful outcomes.
The fastest path between two points is a straight line. Unfortunately, when you have very different people in communication with one another, there’s often a messy line between the two. By putting TYPEd training into practice, you strengthen both listening and communication skills. That line soon becomes straighter.
TYPEd offers certified administration and consultation on Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode (TKI), FIRO B, and DiSC assessments. Sarah works with each individual through personal 1:1 sessions to understand test results and discuss the “why” behind certain behaviors, habits and work styles.
“To say my meetings and discussions with Sarah have been life-changing is a dramatic understatement. For years, I felt that there was something wrong with me. I would look at people whom I idolized and think, “Why can’t I be more like them? Why do I get frustrated at tasks that other people seem to churn out with no problem? Why am I always ‘ruining a good thing?’” As it turns out, my strengths, weaknesses, and perspective on the world is much different than the people I looked up to. And, come to find out, some of those people were looking up to me! While I had noticed certain patterns in my life, I was always guessing as to why I had made the choices I had made, which made accepting who I was extremely difficult. Through 1:1 coaching with Sarah, I was able to identify my strengths and put them to use in my personal and professional life, placing myself in situations where I could grow and add value. Over the past 2-3 years, I have put myself in a position to land my dream job and help in a creative way to optimize and grow a business that has become very important to me. I have been able to shed the expectations of society, accept myself, others, and the world around me, and blaze a path that is unique to me. I cannot recommend talking with Sarah enough!”
