Understanding People at Work
Start with self-awareness. Build stronger teamwork from there.
Understanding people at work starts with understanding yourself. Whether you lead teams, collaborate across departments, or simply want to work more effectively with others, this course offers powerful tools to strengthen relationships and elevate collaboration.
Designed to cut across industries and career stages, this 4-week live virtual experience explores human behavior, communication styles, and the diverse ways people think, lead, and contribute. Using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) as a practical framework, you'll gain deeper self-awareness, uncover your unique strengths, and develop valuable insight into the motivations and working styles of those around you.
You have to get along with people, but you also have to recognize that the strength of a team is different people with different perspectives and different personalities.Steve Case

Past Participants Say
Real reflections from professionals who joined us.
The most valuable part of the course for me was learning how not to take people's reactions or behaviors personally, but rather to understand them as part of their natural ways of dealing with situations. This perspective helped me communicate more effectively and build healthier, more productive interactions. It allowed me to focus on finding the best ways to engage with others while respecting our different communication styles.

I truly appreciated the thoughtful discussions that encouraged us to explore opposing ideas, develop new perspectives, and connect the whole concept to knowledge from practical work experience. I also liked the examples from David's career experience and his enthusiasm in the course.
