TRAINING, ASSESSMENTS & WORKSHOPS
Research has shown that soft skills information taught at a one-time workshop translates into behavior less than 10% of the time, one year later. However, if there is a follow up either as a group or individually, results climb to 80%. Clearly, the follow up is an essential part of the investment. In addition, the new leadership skills will be modeled and appreciated by those being led, causing it to become part of the leadership culture of the company, for years to come. What better way to build loyal talent from within for tomorrow?

Handling Personality Differences Workshop
Learn to enhance individual and team emotional intelligence through a greater understanding of personality type using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a self-report questionnaire used to measure and describe people's preferences for how they like to get information, make decisions, and orient their lives. Profound differences between team members can impact how effectively they work together.
Participants in this workshop will gain a clearer understanding of why people prefer to do the things they do. They will also gain respect for others’ styles, learn to work with others more constructively, and gain understanding of how they can make an even more meaningful contribution. Relationship dynamics are often permanently improved.
Participants will receive a feedback analysis of their personality type preferences as well as a comprehensive manual on all of the MBTI personality types. This analysis will enhance the understanding of one self and others and the impact we have on organizational improvement and effectiveness.

Advanced Emotional Intelligence Skills for Leaders Workshop
Cultural wisdom has taught us that the workplace isn't a place for emotion. In the world of time clocks and balance sheets, reason and logic have been our guides, and intelligence is what we've honoured. Because we only had the tools to measure IQ, that is all we considered measuring. Now we can see we were only measuring a small part of the story.
Like it or not, emotions are an intrinsic part of our biological makeup, and every morning they march into the office with us and influence our behaviour. On some level, we've always known that the ability to understand, monitor, manage and capitalize on our emotions can help us make better decisions, cope with setbacks and interact with others more effectively.
Recent studies by Goleman and other researchers have proven this:
Research on 181 jobs at 121 companies worldwide showed that two out of three abilities vital for success were emotional competencies such as trustworthiness, adaptability and a talent for collaboration.
According to a study of what corporations seek when they hire MBAs, the three most desired capabilities are communication skills, interpersonal skills and initiative -- all of which are elements of emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence matters in surprising places such as computer programming, where the top 10% of performers exceeded average performers in producing effective programs by 320%, and the superstars at the 1% level produced an amazing 1,272% more than average. Assessments of these top performers revealed that they were better at such things as teamwork, staying late to finish a project and sharing shortcuts with coworkers. In short, the best performers didn't compete -- they collaborated.
Studies of close to 500 organizations worldwide indicate that people who score highest on emotional intelligence measures rise to the top of corporations. Among other things, these "star employees" possess more interpersonal skills and confidence than "regular employees" who receive less favourable performance reviews.
Ongoing support is particularly important because developing emotional intelligence takes work and practice.
