Gain Greater Self-Awareness with MBTI Coaching
Understanding yourself is one of the most powerful steps you can take in your personal or professional development.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) is one of the world’s most widely used personality frameworks. It helps people understand how they prefer to communicate, make decisions, process information and interact with others.
Whether you are a leader looking to improve your effectiveness, a team wanting to strengthen working relationships, or an individual exploring career options, MBTI coaching can provide valuable insight and practical ways forward.
Based in Manchester, I work with individuals, teams and organisations across the UK to help people better understand themselves and the impact they have on others.
What is MBTI?
MBTI is a personality assessment designed to help people understand their natural preferences.
Rather than placing people into boxes, MBTI provides a framework for understanding different approaches to work, communication, leadership, problem solving and relationships.
The assessment explores preferences across four areas:
How You Gain Energy
Do you tend to gain energy from spending time with others, or do you recharge through reflection and quieter activities?
How You Take In Information
Do you prefer facts and practical information, or are you naturally drawn towards possibilities, patterns and future opportunities?
How You Make Decisions
Do you tend to make decisions based on logic and objective analysis, or do you place greater emphasis on people and values?
How You Approach Life and Work
Do you prefer structure and planning, or flexibility and adaptability?
There are no right or wrong personality types. Each preference brings strengths and potential blind spots.
How MBTI Coaching Can Help
Many people complete an MBTI questionnaire and receive a report. The real value often comes through coaching conversations that help bring the results to life.
Through MBTI coaching, we can explore:
Leadership style and effectiveness
Communication preferences
Managing workplace relationships
Career development and career change
Decision-making approaches
Building confidence and self-awareness
Managing conflict more effectively
Understanding stress responses
Working with different personality types
The aim is not to change who you are, but to help you make the most of your natural strengths whilst recognising areas for development.

MBTI Coaching for Leaders
Leadership can be challenging because not everyone thinks, communicates or works in the same way.
Many leadership challenges stem from misunderstanding rather than capability.
MBTI coaching helps leaders understand how their preferences influence their leadership style and how others may experience them.
This can lead to:
Improved communication
Stronger working relationships
Greater self-awareness
More effective delegation
Better team engagement
Increased confidence in leadership decisions
Many of the leaders I work with find that MBTI provides a useful language for understanding both themselves and the people around them.

MBTI Coaching for Career Development
Understanding your personality preferences can also be valuable when considering your career.
Whether you are exploring a career change, preparing for promotion, returning to work after a break or simply reflecting on your future direction, MBTI can provide useful insight into:
Preferred working environments
Motivators and sources of satisfaction
Communication strengths
Leadership potential
Areas for growth and development
Combined with coaching, MBTI can help you make informed decisions about your next steps.
MBTI Team Workshops
MBTI can be particularly powerful when used with teams.
Team members often discover that behaviours they have previously found frustrating are simply different ways of approaching work.
MBTI team workshops can help teams:
Improve communication
Build trust and understanding
Appreciate different perspectives
Reduce conflict
Strengthen collaboration
Improve team effectiveness
Workshops can be tailored for leadership teams, departments, project teams or organisations undergoing change.
