We begin most of our engagements with helping people to understand their Psychological Type through the MBTI Assessment. But we know that a single assessment or instrument is only one data point. That’s why The People Skills Group uses a myriad of tools, models and team assessments to provide you with a holistic and dynamic picture of you, your employees, your leaders, and how you can best work together.
