Session Overview:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Much has been written about the legal industry lagging behind in the development of leadership skills to
meet the current and growing challenges of client expectations, technology solutions, data security and
the culturally diverse multigenerational workforce, to name a few. Given we spend 80% of our time in
the workplace communicating while interacting with our peers, attracting and building client
relationships or influencing others, focusing on developing effective communication as a core leadership
skill is a great starting point.
Created by Rob Toomey, former corporate lawyer and founder of TypeCoach LLC, and based on Carl
Jung’s personality theory, TypeCoach is an innovative tool that provides information about our
personality preferences (behaviours), sheds light on individual differences and provides tools to help
develop the skills to improve our communication with others. Equipped with this information, we get to
fast-track our abilities to recognize when it is important to shift or adapt our style to suit the other
person’s needs so that we achieve our intended outcomes, especially in client facing situations! The
business case for investing in strategic communication is simple: it becomes a differentiator tool leading
to improved knowledge sharing, effective team building, higher adoption of policies, principles and
responsibilities, successful change management, a culture of client value through collaboration and so
much more! The benefits of having helpful tips that take the mystery out of how to communicate with
people from other personality types is endless.
This meeting’s sponsor, TypeCoach, has generously gifted complimentary access to the TypeCoach
Verifier+, a personality assessment tool, as well as TypeCoach programs including Type to Type, the
communication tool, for anyone attending the session. This interactive session will explore some of the
personality preferences and how these can help or hinder communication. The dynamics that come up
when people from different preferences interact will be discussed and strategies to improve
communication effectiveness will be explored.
Objectives of the session:


with the complimentary co code you will have indefinite access to the coaching and videos as well as
