If you are seeking assistance with helping faculty and other staff understand how to work and communicate more effectively together, and would like to use the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) as a tool to do that, you can arrange for me to come work with your staff. Workshops using the MBTI as a tool can focus on the differing strengths of people, on communications skills, on adjustments and needs during a change process, on teamwork, or on time and project management. Sample descriptions for a few of these are listed below, but I will work with you to design a workshop that will work best for your department or office.
Over the past 10 years, I have had many requests from directors, supervisors and department heads to have the members of an office staff or faculty take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and participate in a workshop using the group's results to explore how to work and communicate more effectively together. It has been my practice to handle these requests on a case-by-case basis, tailoring the workshop or faculty/staff retreat to the needs of the group. The two workshops described below are examples of what can be done using the MBTI information as a base. Please feel free to call me, Cris Cullinan, at 6-2961. For further information on the MBTI or about these workshop possibilities. PLEASE NOTE: It is best to contact me at least a month before the date you are planning to schedule the workshop or faculty/staff retreat.
This workshop uses the individual strengths identified by using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to help a staff and/or faculty group to work more effectively together. Individual differences and strengths in processing information, gathering data, making decisions and planning and organizing will be explored. The focus for each workshop will be planned with the office or department, and can include any combination of the following:
These workshops provide an introduction to immigration regulations for UO faculty and
staff members who work closely with international students and scholars. The information in
these workshops is designed to help participants understand the limitations immigration
regulations place on the flexibility of programs, employment, training, and plans for the
future of our international students and scholars. These workshops are presented by the
staff in the Office of International Programs. PRESENTER: Magid Shirzadegan
Maximum Attendance: 30
