Personality Profiling

As a Professional Practitioner registered with the New Zealand Association of Psychological Type, I am a committed user of The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®, an insightful personality profiling tool that increases our self-awareness and validates others. It is applied in a range of areas including career development, communication and relationship coaching, business, teamwork, leadership, parenting and education.

In all applications of the MBTI®, the emphasis is on better understanding of yourself and others, appreciating strengths and gifts, and recognising potential growth areas.

Personality type theory grew from the work of the visionary psychiatrist CG Jung and was further developed by Katharine Briggs and Isabel Myers. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® is widely used throughout the world, is based on over 50 years of research and has proven to be robust, reliable, valid and ethical in all areas of its application.

The MBTI® is designed to reveal your natural preferences for:

Source of Energy

Extraversion

• You direct and receive energy from the External World
• You prefer action over reflection

Introversion

• You direct and receive energy from the Internal World
• You prefer reflection over action

Perceiving

Sensing

• You like to take in information in a precise and exact manner
• You use a language of observation, facts and details

Intuition

• You like to take in information in a random and innovative manner
• You use a language of imagination, concepts and theories

Decision Making

Thinking

• You seek logical clarity and objectivity when making decisions
• You value competence

Feeling

• You seek emotional clarity and harmony when making decisions
• You value cooperation

Lifestyle/Workstyle

Judging

• You like to come to closure and act on decisions
• You enjoy defined goals and results

Perceiving

• You like to remain open and adapt to new information
• You enjoy surprises and change

You are the expert on you, and the one who is best qualified to confirm the accuracy of the self-report. Once you have completed the MBTI® questionnaire, we will meet for an assessment and discussion session to deepen your understanding of your psychological type and your natural patterns of action and attitude.

This knowledge will guide you in your career design and development, improve your communication and connection with others, reveal your natural gifts and potential areas for growth, and enrich your contribution as a valuable team member, both within your family and at work.

The result will be a meaningful and rewarding career.

Testimonial:

"Having recently experienced Sharon’s professionalism and warmth, as she skillfully coached me through some decision making about my next career development step, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her coaching skills to other women, whatever age or stage in their life or career they may have reached.

Sharon worked alongside me in a way that valued my experience and expertise and helped me to reveal my own resources and wisdom. As she listened to my ideas and dreams, she encouraged me to put myself ‘out there’ and to give new possibilities a chance to emerge while gently challenging me to move past some of my own self imposed barriers.

She works in a style that is empowering and supportive and combines her finely tuned intuition and professional experience to create a conversation that is enjoyable, often exciting and delivers real and tangible value to her clients.

Her approach worked for me in my role as Chief Executive of a national community organisation. It also worked for me on a personal level, as a woman seeking maximum fulfillment in the last ten years of my working career. I wish her every success with her business."
