Lucinda talks to Rob Toomey, the President of TypeCoach about understanding personalities and improving communication within organisations.

Rob discusses how TypeCoach utilises personality frameworks like Myers-Briggs and David Kersey's temperament model to help individuals navigate relationships in various contexts, including team dynamics, leadership development, and sales interactions, as well as the benefits of understanding personalities, reducing stress, increasing diversity of ideas, and improving retention rates within organisations

KEY TAKEAWAYS


The TypeCoach program focuses on helping individuals understand how to navigate relationships with others in various contexts, such as team dynamics, leadership development, and sales interactions.


The TypeCoach tool is based on the Myers-Briggs and David Kersey's temperament model, aiming to provide practical guidance on emotional intelligence and interpersonal communication rather than just self-understanding.


Proper administration and explanation of personality preferences are crucial to avoid skepticism and misinterpretation of personality assessments like Myers-Briggs.


TypeCoach offers online tools that allow users to access advice on communication strategies tailored to specific personalities, enhancing workplace relationships and reducing stress.

BEST MOMENTS

"So the primary reasons why there are so much skepticism or as I say baggage out there around the Myers-Briggs itself is primarily due to poor administration."

"This takes a personality tool from being kind of a box ticking thing to do that's vaguely interesting into something that's much more practical."

"The main commercial benefit of introducing this material is helping people understand how to navigate the relationship with the other people around them.

"If you can understand that the other person is not trying to deliberately frustrate or annoy me, they're just wired differently, we have a higher level of tolerance."
