GlobalEd’s mission is to help its program participants develop marketable skills and increase their employability for when they set out in their careers.  As part of our commitment to this mission, GlobalEd has created a series of professional development sessions designed to empower students using world renowned Myers Briggs training to increase self-awareness, interact more effectively with people from different cultures, work more effectively in teams and to become a more successful leader.

Based on Carl Jung’s theory of personality, described as psychological type, Isabel Myers and Katharine Briggs developed the MBTI instrument as a tool which is used by many Fortune 500 companies to develop more productive work teams, helping leaders manage their teams better and improving one's quality of life both personally and professionally.

GlobalEd uses in-house certified MBTI practitioners to work with students to increase their cognitive awareness of personality type and to help them develop procedural knowledge of how to implement the tool throughout their study abroad program and their careers. 

GlobalEd training sessions include a combination of presentations, group activities and personal coaching to make learning as interactive and enjoyable as possible.  We view the “study abroad experience” as a playground for learning, implementation and reflection. 

“Learning about my personality preferences with Myers Briggs while abroad was a great way to help me to gain a better understanding of my strengths and how to interact more successfully with others.  Now that I’ve graduated, I use this knowledge to work more effectively with my boss and co-workers.” – Jeremy Kent, Lehigh University
