Increase your versatility as a coach

Use the MBTI Type framework to provide coaching insights in a wider range of coaching situations including the coach-coachee relationship.

MBTI logo You will learn how to provide Type-related insights in your coaching practice. You will gain experience in applying the MBTI instrument in a range of ways and be provided with related practical tools that enhance your coaching.

Course flow consciously mirrors how coaching works: how at the heart of coaching is the individual, followed by an understanding of how the individual relates to others, and then their effectiveness in an organisational setting.

This course is one of a pair of complementary courses to support your coaching practice. Whilst this course takes a broad look at Type and coaching, our other course Type Dynamics in Coaching: a deep dive using the MBTI takes a deep look at the application of Type dynamics in coaching.
