Personality Dimensions – Building Communications Skills

Learn about the different personality styles and what they need from you so that you can communicate more effectively with everyone in your life.

By understanding their own personality types, individuals gain insights into their communication styles, strengths and weaknesses, and how they are likely to be perceived by others. They also learn the styles, strengths, and weaknesses of others – and how to identify the temperaments of the people they are interacting with in order to understand what they will need. Based on this new awareness, individuals can adjust their communication style to better suit the needs of different audiences and communicate their own needs and preferences effectively to others. By learning about the different dimensions and their communication preferences, individuals can develop greater empathy and understanding for those around them. This ultimately leads to more effective communication and stronger relationships, both in personal and professional contexts.

In this workshop, learn to:

• Recognize the temperaments of others
• Understand the unique needs of each temperament (including your own)
• Modify communication styles in order to effectively communicate with each temperament style
• Communicate your own unique needs to others, in order to ensure effective communication for yourself

Facilitator: Dr. Caitlin McLaughlin, Assistant Professor in Commerce/Ron Joyce Centre for Business Studies
