2. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) provides a user-friendly framework for improving self-
awareness and exploring personality differences. It has a long and impressive track record as the
world’s most popular personality instrument, with over two million assessments completed each year.
Using the MBTI assessment helps you identify your strengths and development areas, understand
why people behave differently and communicate better at work and at home.
It can be used to help with a wide range of development areas, including:
Decision making
Managing change
Dealing with stress
Career development
Communication
Handling conflict

3. Why do I use MBTI?
Tim Schuler Coaching and Development
I first came across MBTI twenty years ago when the organisation I worked for arranged for me to
take the assessment as part of a coaching programme. It was one of several approaches used, but it
was the one that made the biggest and most lasting impact.
A few years later, I trained to use MBTI myself. It has become one of the most reliable and
interesting tools I use with individuals and teams. It continues to:
Provide me with insights into my own behaviour
Help me work with my personality type instead of fighting against it
Help me recognise the early signs of stress and take action to protect my health
Although I have frequently used MBTI as part of my work, I am now introducing two
coaching programmes that make it the central feature. This is because I believe MBTI
to be a powerful way of exploring life’s challenges, whether you’re completely new to
it or, like me, have used it before.
4. MBTI Coaching Programmes
Tim Schuler Coaching and Development
I offer two coaching programmes, depending on the scope of what you want to explore. Both
provide the MBTI assessment using the official online tool, followed by a detailed discussion to
clarify your individual personality type and answer any questions you may have about the model.
The MBTI Fundamentals Programme is designed to focus on one area of development, while the
Personal Impact Programme takes a more detailed look at your personality type so you can better
understand yourself and others, and improve the way you respond to various aspects of your daily
life.
Both coaching programmes are delivered via Skype.
5. MBTI Fundamentals Programme
Tim Schuler Coaching and Development
The MBTI Fundamentals Programme starts with an overview of MBTI and a discussion to identify
the main focus for your coaching programme. It includes an online MBTI assessment, followed by an
interactive discussion to verify the results and help you identify the type description that fits you
best. Based on this, you will receive a two-page written explanation of your MBTI type.
You will then have two coaching sessions of up to 90 minutes each. These will focus on the
development area you want to address, using your MBTI type to help you understand your current
behaviour and explore options for the future.
6. MBTI Personal Impact Coaching Programme
Tim Schuler Coaching and Development
The Personal Impact Programme provides an enhanced experience allowing you to explore aspects
of your life in greater depth.
In addition to everything included in the Fundamentals Programme, you will receive a 24-page
written report looking at what your MBTI type means in terms of your work style, communication,
team membership, decision-making, leadership, conflict, stress and approach to change.
You will also receive an e-book, giving over 50 pages of additional information about type theory,
including detailed descriptions of all the MBTI types. This will help you understand other people’s
behaviour as well as your own. You will receive access to a companion website, with content that
both overlaps and complements the e-book, giving type information in a dynamic digital format to
enhance your learning.
You will have four coaching sessions of up to 90 minutes each, using your MBTI type to
help you look at a development area in depth, or perhaps address two or three related
issues from your Personal Impact Report.
