In my last post, I wrote about the importance of styles and the impact on group coaching. In today's post, I want to share with you some of the resource tools you may want to look into if you are interested in incorporating any style work into your programs.
Three of my favorite style tools are:
MBTI - The quintessential Myers-Briggs is an ever popular go-to resource for work around styles. Throughout the years there has been debate regarding how effective the tool really is. Nonetheless, many of us have gone through the MBTI at one stage or another. To adminster the MBTI you need to be certified.
DiSC - The DiSC is a great, lower cost style tool and offers many different reports - for individuals, as well as teams. I've used the DISC quite effectively in group coaching with business owners, as well as with teams (as pre-work). There are several different DISCs on the market including Extended DiSC.
Personal Style Inventory - I really enjoy using the PSI with clients as it is a much lower cost option and provides them with a quick snapshot of their preferred styles. The PSI is a great foundation for conversation, and coaching around the impact of style on communication, leadership and work styles. Available in hard copy and online forms.
What other style tools do you use? What are your favorites? How do you incorporate them into your coaching work (either individual or group coaching)? As always, please feel free to comment below.
Warm regards,
