  "Connecting With People: Difficult or Different"

  Date/Time: Thursday July 10th  | 11:30am - 1:00pm

  Location: Holiday Inn & Suites (Airport) | 4260 Mitchell Way

  What We'll Cover:

  Discover your “intent” versus your “impact” with this behavior style enlightening program. When you are frustrated with others, it may be because their communication preferences and needs are different from yours. So, you see them as “difficult” rather than “different.” Individual, team and organizational success is dependent on the ability of people to work together in trusted and respectful relationships. Not so easy, until you create awareness and skills needed to recognize and work to leverage the strengths of all. Traits and idiosyncrasies of decision making, social preferences, and two other key dynamics are revealed. You will recognize and laugh at yourself, as well as recognize others that you seem to “vibe” with and those that you don’t!

  Learning Objectives:

  Learn how you are different in your preferences from others in four key areas: Decision making, working environment, social settings and quality orientation. Take away strategies for connecting more effectively with those different from yourself, whether it be team members, customers, colleagues or other leaders.
