Who's running this workshop?


I'm Jill Chivers and I'm designing and delivering these open workshops in 2010. I'm the only Australian ever to serve on the Board of the Association of Psychological Type International - the only professional association that guides the ethical use of type. I'm a Certified Professional Facilitator through the International Association of Facilitators, and a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Professional Facilitators.

I qualified to use the MBTI in 2001 and have been using it consistently since then. For several years I delivered a 1.5day communication/leadership program for Australia's largest institutional bank. I didn't know about type dynamics then and only wish I had.


By 2006, I had started to work more with type dynamics - the first step was to understand more about my own. Knowing I'm an extravert is helpful - knowing that I extravert feeling is like tuning that knowledge into very sharp focus. Type dynamics takes broad knowledge and makes it incredibly useful - instead of it being "just information" it becomes a tool - something you can use.


A career highlight was designing and delivering a two-day leadership program based on the MBTI for senior managers and directors of one of the world's largest professional services firms. We ran this program, titled Leading with Insight, for 4 years until 2009 and it was consistently one of the most popular programs on a curriculum of over 90 courses, with many participants being encouraged to attend by previous attendees.



My own use of type has been inestimably expanded through collaboration/work with international type authors such as Katherine Hirsh, Damien Killen and Sharon Lebovitz Richmond - all CPP Type authors. You can read more about me by visiting here and here.
