Certification Benefits

Dive into Insights About Self-Awareness and Personality with a Three-Day Comprehensive Workshop.

Communication

One of the reasons that Birkman is so effective in working with groups is that it validates all behavioral styles, emphasizing that each individual has strengths to contribute. You’ll learn how to help different personalities on a team develop an appreciation for each other’s distinct strengths and resolve workplace conflicts with deeper understanding, patience, and finesse.

Understand the Complexities of Behavioral Style

You’ll practice your interpretation skills with several Birkman report profiles to see how combinations of personality traits may impact the working relationship of those with different patterns. Then, you’ll compare multiple profiles to predict potential collaborative issues and strengths commonly found among teams.

Coach Others to Become More Self-Aware

Birkman Signature Certification has a focus on individual coaching, as a Birkman report can help immensely in coaching conversations. Self-awareness is the first step toward personal growth – both in developing your strengths and in adapting when the context of the situation doesn’t match your personal narrative.

Access to Certified-Only Birkman Reports

While limited Birkman reports are available to the public, you’ll unlock access to a full suite of advanced Birkman reports—including the Signature Report—when you attend Signature Certification. Each of our reports is specialized for a specific use-case that you can implement throughout your organization.
