Professional Skills Development Course to Improve Business Communication

In this one-day virtual or in-person seminar, Lynn Reed teaches individuals and managers to apply the advanced MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) Step II to significantly improve self-awareness, communication, decision-making, engagement, influence, conflict management, and working relationships.  Very useful for client-facing individuals and teams to improve impact.

The program focuses on:

• Better self-awareness by understanding personality type theory and application at a deep level
• Validation of individual results – a step many less experienced instructors fail to apply
• Improving interpersonal relationships and client-facing interactions
• Bridging generational gaps
• Enhancing impact with clients, prospects, and colleagues

The MBTI is one of the most powerful, valid, and reliable psychometric assessments of its type; also one of the most complex and poorly understood and applied due to a lack of dedicated time and/or lack of expertise and experience on the part of the instructor.  Lynn’s deep expertise—gained under the guidance of one of the most recognized authorities in the world—ensures participants can use actionable insights to foster personal, team, and organizational success.

Professional Development Course Building Executive Presence and Resilience

The EQ-i 2.0 self-assessment provides structured feedback to improve self-awareness, self-expression, interpersonal interaction, decision-making, and stress management. Research has shown that emotional intelligence is a key differentiator for career advancement and success in life.  Profiles can be created to guide thinking for optimal performance in specific roles for hiring, mobility, and promotion.  A 360-degree assessment is available for executive coaching applications.  Lynn was certified in the EQ-i 2.0 by one of the leading experts in the world; his experience and guidance ensure measurable improvements in these critical areas.

Improve Critical Thinking and Leadership Communication Skills

Our Parallel Thinking Course leverages the Six Thinking Hats to help team leaders and individual contributors enhance the quality of their thinking skills by focusing on each of the major segments of thinking; these include six distinct areas: facts & information, emotions & intuition, logical benefits, risk & barriers, creative ideas and managing the thinking process.

The net effect is to reduce confusion and stress by providing balance to the thought process for decision making.  By introducing a common language to enable Parallel Thinking, this one-day course empowers participants to approach problems more effectively, thereby improvog business communication skills. Lynn Reed is a Master Trainer certified personally by Dr. Edward de Bono, creator of the Six Thinking Hats methodology to enable Parallel Thinking. Lynn has trained and facilitated the successful application of this method to over 10,000 managers and professionals worldwide, from Boards of Directors / C-Suite executive leadership teams to graduate trainee populations.
