Dr. Rachel Cubas-Wilkinson is an ex-Myers-Briggs Company leader with more than 15 years of experience transforming organizational capability. She brings specialties in learning design and delivery (8+ years) and B2B professional services leadership (10+ years) to her work.

To date, Rachel has trained more than 30,000 leaders, delivering scalable, evidence-based programs that translate assessment insights into changed behaviors.
Core Methodologies
OptimizeTeamwork.com’s workshops blend behavioral assessments with practical skills training. Two cornerstone methodologies are:
- DISC assessments: These identify individual communication styles (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Conscientiousness) and help teams adapt interactions for clarity and efficiency.
- Myers-Briggs–based interventions: Leveraging personality type insights to improve team alignment, role clarity, and mutual respect.
These frameworks are paired with active learning techniques—role plays, facilitated debriefs, and action-planning—that ensure participants leave with concrete steps to improve day-to-day collaboration.
Case Studies of Impact
1. Implementing DISC for Effective Communication
A mid-sized company struggling with interdepartmental misunderstandings engaged OptimizeTeamwork.com for a series of tailored DISC workshops. Participants learned to identify their own communication preferences and to recognize differences in colleagues’ styles. Facilitators guided teams to create simple interaction guidelines and a shared language for feedback.
Within three months of the training, participant feedback showed a measurable improvement in perceived communication effectiveness: the organization reported a 30% increase in satisfaction with interdepartmental communications. Beyond survey scores, leaders reported fewer misrouted requests and faster resolution times for cross-team issues—early signs that behavioral shifts were translating into operational benefits.
2. Transforming Team Dynamics with Myers-Briggs Insights
In another engagement, a professional services firm used Myers-Briggs–based workshops to address tensions that had emerged during a rapid growth phase. Workshops focused on building awareness of different working preferences, clarifying decision-making approaches, and creating agreements for meetings and delegation.
Outcomes included improved meeting effectiveness, clearer role expectations, and a reduction in repeated work due to miscommunication. Participants reported higher trust in peers’ intentions and a stronger sense of shared purpose—factors that leaders linked to increased retention among high-performing staff.
3. Scalable Learning Design and Measurable Outcomes
OptimizeTeamwork.com emphasizes measurable learning outcomes as part of every engagement. Workshops include pre- and post-assessments, behavioral commitments, and follow-up coaching to reinforce learning. This approach enables organizations to track changes in capability—such as improvements in communication satisfaction, reductions in conflict frequency, or faster onboarding of new hires—and tie those changes to business metrics over time.
