Learn your Strengths & Conflict Style

Self awareness leads to improved communication and builds better relationships.

Soft Skills Training for Leadership and Staff Teams:
Plain Talk is an in-house seminar that uses a powerful communications tool, The Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI) to help leaders and their teams improve their communication skills and interpersonal effectiveness.

The SDI helps people identify the strengths they use in relating to others under two kinds of conditions: when things are going well, and when one is under pressure or faced with conflict.

When this tool is used with intact teams as a team building opportunity, the team learns about the communication styles of each member and how unwarranted conflict resulting from communication errors can be greatly diminished. This session builds better rapport in teams, between individuals, and, if the concepts are followed…relationships with anyone such as clients and suppliers, can be positively impacted.
