MBTI ® Optimizing Team Performance Program announced

Psychometrics Canada, a leading assessment publisher and consultant for the development and selection of people in business, government and education, today announced the launch of a new Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® training program. The MBTI® Optimizing Team Performance Program (OTP) (http://www.psychometrics.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=553&&) will be held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on November 8, 2010.   The program is the first of its kind in Canada, offering participants ready-to-use MBTI team building workshops.  

One of the most common questions, program developer, Patrick Kerwin hears from MBTI professionals is, “I don’t want to reinvent the wheel.  Is there a ready-to-use MBTI team-building workshop I can get my hands on?” Kerwin designed the program using the MBTI instrument as a foundation.  The program offers an innovative, mix-and-match modular format allowing participants to design and deliver workshops better meeting their clients or organization’s team needs.  

"This train the trainer program is terrific for busy professionals. It allows them to focus on what they do best, deliver great team building workshops and consulting services rather than design them” says Mark Fitzsimmons, President of Psychometrics Canada.   "We're offering an easy and effective way for MBTI professionals to present well designed team building workshops, increasing the value and relevance of the assessment in addressing critical business issues, taking professional and organizational development to a higher level."

The one day training program includes an OTP Leader’s Guide and CD, everything MBTI professionals need to introduce the MBTI assessment to team members and deliver any combination of six team-building applications modules, including sample program and administration emails, timelines, scripts, activities and PowerPoint slides. Additionally, the OTP Progam qualifies for CHRP (http://www.psychometrics.com/en-us/training.htm) recertification points.
