"Great course! It really provides insights to working with different personality types. This should be a must for any person within a management level."
Employee at AT&T
Dave Wood
Hi, I'm Dave Wood and I created the TypeFocus® programs.
Let's talk about leadership.
Leadership is all about getting things done through other people. This is true whether you are a corporate executive or a Little League coach. Leadership means encouraging others to want to meet your goals.

Knowing your leadership style (based on your personality type) helps you be a more effective communicator and leader.

When you understand how the different personality types work together, you can really bring out the best of your team. Create goals that are motivating and help your team work together to make the best use of their personality differences, and then stand back because your team is about to take off.

I have run hundreds of leadership and management development training workshops using personality type and have seen first-hand how excited participants become when they understand their preferences and realize how important their insights will be to their effectiveness.

TypeFocus Certification Program
The TypeFocus Certification Program is an online program providing a cost-effective way to upgrade your credentials. TypeFocus Practitioners enjoy the benefits of advanced training and ongoing support in personality type applications. Members can access advanced TypeFocus program features designed to support counselors and coaches in private practice.

The TypeFocus Certification Program consists of several components:
  • Guidebook with assignments
  • MBTI® Manual
  • Live webinars
  • Your own TypeFocus mentor
  • Two client debriefing sessions
  • Final interview with a TypeFocus Master Facilitator
  • Access to a moderated certification forum
The MBTI® Manual has to be borrowed or purchased.

The webinars, mentor to monitor assignments, assistance with debriefing, access to forum and final interview are only available to those participants who want to be certified as a TypeFocus Type Practitioner.

When a person becomes a Certified TypeFocus Practitioner, their contact information will be listed on our website to authenticate their standing. They will also be able to purchase any of our programs at a discount and offer their clients services through a website branded to their name.

The certification process itself will have no set time frame. To achieve certification, a person must:
  • complete all assignments,
  • debrief two clients using the TypeFocus program and
  • demonstrate their mastery of the program content via the final interview.
Mentor assistance, professional forums and live webinars are available as supports but are not requirements.

The fee for certification is $350 and some eligibility requirements exist; you can register at www.typefocus.com/certification beginning in July 15, 2011.
