Type Trainer Skillshop

Effective Type training is hard to beat in terms of popularity and long-term impact on its participants. OKA has set the standard for excellence in experiential Type training since 1977 and the OKA Type Trainer Skillshop is our core program for building Type trainer skills. This newly designed two-day workshop starts with an experiential Type introduction that the MBTI master trainer deconstructs (along with the participants) as he delivers it, exploring not only Type theory in detail but the reason for each choice beneath the training event, from exercise selection to chart placement and slide usage. Learn to build a great training by taking one apart. Day 2 of this workshop explores Type table analysis and the tailoring a trainer can and should do to serve the likely needs of each group. Participants explore and expand their collection of stories and examples that make Type discussion come alive as well as experiencing a number of exercises that go beyond a Type introduction to more impactful applications for teams and organizations. Unique to the OKA Type Trainer Skillshop is an hour of one-on-one coaching with one of OKA’s expert Type trainers. This coaching feature was originally intended to help participants transfer their learning by allowing participants to video record their delivery of a workshop and then receive expert feedback after the workshop. Some participants, however, have requested this coaching time be used to get help in the planning, customizing and set-up of a Type training. The focus of that Type conversation is the client’s decision. Workshop Outcomes:

• Review the structure and details of Type theory as well as best practices in its delivery
• Explore a number of experiential Type exercises, as well as the best ways to set them up and process the data that flows from them
