Rob Toomey: Unlocking the Power of Personality

At this year’s international personality type conference The Power of Personality, Rob Toomey is leading a highly interactive, hands-on workshop that explores how Jungian personality types, emotional intelligence, and leadership strategies can transform workplace communication. We sat down with Rob to discuss what participants will gain from attending his session.

Why you should attend Rob Toomey's workshop "How to read the Room"

Mette Babitzkow Boje:
Rob, what can participants expect to gain from attending your workshop?

Rob Toomey:
"This workshop is designed to bridge the gap between personality theory and real-world application. A lot of people find personality insights fascinating, but they struggle to use them effectively in everyday interactions. In this session, participants will learn practical communication strategies that enhance teamwork, reduce conflicts, and build stronger leadership skills. They'll also develop their emotional intelligence by understanding how personality impacts decision-making, problem-solving, and workplace dynamics. Most importantly, they’ll gain the confidence to navigate diverse personalities – whether they’re leading a team, coaching individuals, or collaborating across functions."

Mette:
That sounds incredibly useful. Can you share an example of how participants will apply these skills?

Rob:
"Definitely. We use real-life scenarios that help participants recognize and work through common communication challenges. One example involves two colleagues who can’t agree on a project approach – one is detail-oriented and thrives on structure, while the other is more big-picture and flexible. Through this scenario, participants analyze the personality differences at play, understand why misunderstandings happen, and practice adjusting their communication style to reach better outcomes."

Mette:
So, this isn’t just about theory – it’s about practicing skills that will stick?

Rob:
"Exactly. The most valuable takeaway from this workshop is the set of actionable strategies participants can start using right away – in both their professional and personal lives. We’ve had people tell us, even years later, that they’re still using the techniques they learned during our sessions."

Mette:
How does this workshop support leadership development?

Rob:
"Great leadership isn’t just about making decisions – it’s about understanding people. Leaders who can adapt their communication style to different personality types build stronger, more engaged teams. In the workshop, participants learn how to recognize and work with different personality types to boost team performance, how to adjust their communication under stress to reduce conflict and encourage collaboration, and how to create more inclusive and psychologically safe environments."

Mette:
That sounds like a must-attend session. What’s your final message to those considering joining?

Rob:
"If you’re looking for practical, lasting skills that will strengthen your leadership, enhance your emotional intelligence, and improve communication with your team, this workshop is for you. Join me at the conference, and let’s take your communication and leadership skills to the next level."
