I’ve been doing a ‘communications’ training course over the last couple of days. I went in a bit cynical as I’ve done some of these courses before, but I’ve come out better for the experience. It’s amazing the value you get out of a course when there is a good presenter/facilitator. The course was run by Gina from Vida, who I highly recommend.

There were no revelations for me, but revisiting and reinforcing is a useful exercise. I always find the Myers-Briggs stuff useful and interesting and my take-away from this session was that I should be following my predisposition or personality preferences. In the past i’ve tended to dabble and work outside of these when I should be focusing on my strengths and building on them. This is pretty difficult for a ‘generalist’, but for me it means being more creative and proactively seeking more challenges.
