The Emotionally Intelligent Leader
"I think all leaders of the company and the executive leaders should come to this workshop facilitated by Bruna. She was one of the best facilitators I have had. Her humour was hilarious and so unexpected and fit everywhere it was used. She knew her topic expertly and kept it lively and very interesting throughout two pleasurable days, with lots of practical ideas."
–Kelly Hogan, Branch Manager, First Calgary Savings
Myers-Briggs Training
Gain Powerful and Useful Insight into Your Own and Others' Behaviors in the Workplace
"Thank you for this excellent workshop! I have learned much and got a lot of answers about myself and how others think or react and why."
–Simona Doaga, QA, McKesson Medical Imaging
My approach to Myers-Briggs® training went beyond a surface use of the MBTI assessment-beyond considering simply the four letters representing type and a few predicted behaviours that can be gleaned by reading a good book on the MBTI. My advanced training equipped me to deliver corporate workshops that produced powerful insights into the dynamics of teams and entire organizations. I explored the complexities of type through experiential activities, bringing ROPES (Reality Oriented Personal Experiences) into an indoor setting to give participants a direct experience of how type affected their teams. Workshops used a balanced approach of theory and practice.
- The MBTI Assessment was completed online, in advance; during the workshop participants received a comprehensive, written report, followed by a digital copy afterwards, to help them remember their type for life.
- Workshop materials went way beyond one booklet —participants left with a comprehensive handbook and several "Type" booklets to deepen the learning.
- Nothing was "off the shelf." Each workshop was customized to the client's particular challenges and needs.
- Workshops were fast-paced, highly interactive, intellectually engaging, and fun.
- Intact teams received a Team Type Analysis, with personalized recommendations for improving team effectiveness.

I offered a number of Myers-Briggs® workshops as well as learning events at off-site retreats. Below are two examples:
- Team Building and Myers-Briggs®
- Understand Yourself and Others: An Introductory Myers-Briggs® Workshop
Team Building and Myers-Briggs®
This workshop helped individuals understand their MBTI® profile and the relationship of that profile to their contributions and effectiveness as a team member: a tool for enhancing teamwork and helping members explore and resolve interpersonal conflicts by understanding stylistic differences.
For intact teams, I analyzed the distribution of types in the team and provided a personalized TEAM TYPE ANALYSIS, that included practical tips and strategies for improving communication and effectiveness.
What participants did:
- Completed their own MBTI® assessment online, prior to the workshop.
- Learned to recognize the different approaches of team members.
- Discovered how to accommodate stylistic differences and how best to work with others.
- Learned how to be more effective in communicating with different types.
- Applied type to common team processes and challenges such as dealing with conflict, and managing stress.
- Considered possible blind spots and ways to overcome these.
- Discovered how to connect type to the project management process and how to benefit from this knowledge.
- Explored how their type led innovation and how to use the strengths of other types in the innovation process.
- Used type to expand their leadership abilities.
- Gained a clear understanding of their combined team type and its implications on teamwork.
- Participated in experiential activities that deepened learning.
- Left with a toolbox of hands-on, practical strategies to apply right away.
Understand Yourself and Others
An Introductory Myers-Briggs® Workshop
"The course was very thorough, well organized, humorous and grounded in research. I learned a lot about how team members' personality types affect interpersonal relationships. Learned how I can develop myself to be a more effective leader without compromising personal style or values. So much information was also provided in the form of take-home booklets that I can refer back to when the need occurs."
–Participant, Certified General Accountants

What participants did:

- Increased self-understanding by understanding their personality preferences in key areas.
- Explored how others might view them.
- Explored their non-preferred functions for self-development.

Leadership Training
Using The Leadership Practices Inventory To Measure and Grow Your Leadership Skills

–Bon Marasigan, ACL Services, Director of I.S.
