Training at OKA: Public Workshops

Self-Directed Training

MBTI/Type Trainer's Skillshop. For years, OKA has been helping train trainers on the delivery of high-impact, experiential Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) workshops. Now we offer this course in a self-directed online format, available online using any web browser. Drawing heavily from OKA’s longstanding three-day MBTI/Type Trainer’s Skillshop, and built around OKA’s MBTI Workshop Slides, this self-guided presentation is a detailed audio presentation overlaid on a detailed PowerPoint slide show. Together, they support both type theory content and “behind the curtain” insights on the structure and logistics of an experiential type training.


Reversal Theory Skillshop Web-Based Training. Reversal Theory, a theory of motivation and emotion, is one of the most significant psychological theories to have emerged in the last forty years. Reversal Theory focuses on flexibility and what spurs reversals from one psychological state to another. This Skillshop, designed for people already familiar with the foundational ideas of Reversal Theory, provides trainers, consultants and coaches with exercises and approaches (and slides!) to bring this theory to action.


Consulting Skills. There’s a big difference between being qualified to use a tool, and being able to win a client engagement. In this self-paced training class, OKA’s Consulting Director walks you through the critical steps involved in approaching new potential clients, identifying their needs, crafting a proposal, and effectively delivering on the work once won. This class comes on a CD-ROM, and combines audio, slides, and templates – for a complete resource you can refer to again and again.


Finding Balance in A Complex World. At the core of type theory are perception (data gathering) and judgment (decision making). Balancing these powerful and essential mental functions is a core element of self-management. Too much judgment leads to rigidity and prejudice while too much perception leads to inaction and procrastination. Success in any endeavor demands these forces be balanced. In this self-guided CD, Hile Rutledge leads you through the challenges of balance: how to understand it, how to diagnose imbalance and the actions that can bring about greater balance.
