The first step in improved interactions with others, is understanding your own style. With this knowledge of yours and other’s preferences, you can then communicate and work more effectively together.
These workshops are often part of another workshop, or pre/post individual or group coaching – communication, conflict resolution, leadership, customer service, team development, EI or part of a conference, professional development or strategy session. Training sessions can be virtual/in person. All coaching is virtual.
Alternatively, depending on your needs, this can be a separate workshop to provide awareness of your own and other individual’s styles.
The key to improved working relationships is for everyone to have a common language of what it means to deal with others collaboratively, to achieve results and mutual outcomes.
