Generations and Type (MBTI)

"At A Glance" Details

  • Length: 2 Days
  • Location: Fairfax, VA
  • Class begins at 8:30 AM and ends at 5 PM.
  • To take Generations and Type, participants must know their own type preferences and the basics of type theory.

Workshop Description

Every generation forms a collective group that shares the same cultural touchstones, a similar societal history, the same technology, and a shared attitude toward and reaction against the generation that came before it. These generational connections are fascinating and powerful handles for us to have on ourselves and each other. We now have four generations communicating, living and working with each other — Millennials, Generation X, Baby Boomers, and Traditionalists — that each have unique outlooks, world views, motives and behavioral styles. This workshop utilizes type and the MBTI as a tool to bridge the gaps the different generations may find separating them.

This is a two-day, experiential workshop designed to transfer generations and type data to participants, as well as model an approach that participants can then use with clients, be they individuals or groups. Come learn how to use type, temperament and the MBTI assessment to help bridge the gaps that develop between the generations in the workplace. Using type preferences and groupings to get different generations to share with each other and negotiate more effective ways of working together, this class is a fun and fast-paced workshop that merges type with generational theory.

Workshop Objectives:

  • In small generational groups, present the world view of your generation—and get feedback from other groups’ points of view
  • Explore video, news events, music and advertising that contributed to the generational identity of each cohort group
  • Explore how type and temperament realities color or shade the generational patterns of behavior.
  • Experience exercises that use type to facilitate and promote cross-generational communication and understanding.
  • Derive an action plan for self-learning and workplace application of the program’s learnings.

Nine (9) CEs conferred toward MBTI Master Practitioner designation upon successful completion of this class.
