| This service recognises that we all
have different needs and that we have different challenges
and responsibilities at different times in our lives.
Our aim is to help you help yourself.
Many of us are facing change at the moment, with a
changing economy, changing job opportunities, or family
leaving home.
There is a different career pattern developing today.
In the past many people chose a career, worked their
way up to the top and then retired. Today people often
face redundancy or need to change their type of work
several times in their lifetime. It is claimed that
80% of the jobs of the future haven't been invented
yet.
It is even more important than ever to plan your working
life.

“One of the basic lessons of psychological type
is that people of different types have different and
equally valuable talents. From this perspective, individual
differences become selling points as you go about the
action stages of your career search.” (Martin,
1995. Looking at Type and Careers, p.75.)
Eight different working styles have been identified
and expanded on in a helpful book What’s your
type of Career; Unlock the secrets of your personality
type to find your perfect career path, by Donna
Dunning. We have purchased these resources and will
assist people to reflect on the type and careers choices.
If you would like to identify your personality type
and learn more about how type theory relates to your
career, please arrange for an appointment with Jean.
Individual sessions are available, as well as group
courses or organisational seminars, which can help employees
in a workplace, better understand themselves and how
they relate to their work colleagues.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator MBTI® was developed
by Katherine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isobel Briggs
Myers® following the Second World War, based on
the work of Carl G Jung. After more than 60 years of
research and development the current MBTI® is the
most widely used instrument for understanding normal
personality differences. It is used internationally
and has been translated into more than 30 languages.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator MBTI® is a self-report
questionnaire designed for people in all walks of life.
The purpose is to make personality theory accessible
and relevant to all aspects of life such as self-understanding,
career, education and organisational development. Understanding
of different personality types can assist in any situation
involving interaction with other people, to the benefits
for workplaces, schools, project committees and clubs
are beneficial. |
