Rescheduled - Social Intelligence for Scientists (7.18.16)

Featuring: Sabrina Woods, Associate Director Career Services, Northeastern University and Holistic Career Coach & Linkedin Trainer

Workshop Description: In this workshop participants use the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to gain self-awareness and better understanding of their unique strengths and potential areas of growth, as well as how personality differences can impact the way we work.

In this highly engaging and eye-opening workshop you will:

• Learn what your Myers-Briggs type is and what that means for you especially related to your work
• Gain heightened awareness of your own work style and preferred ways of working with others
• Increase understanding about how you prefer to receive information and make decisions
• Recognize normal personality differences and develop flexibility during workplace interactions to work more effectively with coworkers and supervisors.
• Understand how personality type impacts communication, collaboration and conflict
• Learn how to get your own work-related needs met by adapting your style to different situations and circumstances

During the session you will confirm your preferences to determine your 4-letter MBTI type and learn more about the tool through exercises and case studies.

Before the session, we ask that you take a version of the Myers Briggs personality assessment found here: https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test
