It Takes All Types!
This workshop is built on the DISC model. There are four basic communication styles – and we each are a blend of all of them – yet we usually have one style that is dominant for us. Each style brings a different strength to the team.
- Dominant Directors are good at moving the team forward to goals, they are decisive and goal oriented.
- Interactive Socializers bring energy and excitement to teamwork, they are creative and future-focused.
- Supportive Empathizers bring balance and stability to the team, they make sure nothing and no one slips through the cracks.
- Cautious Thinkers are good at analyzing information and ideas, they ensure the group is making smart decisions based on research and data.
Teams need all of these styles to have balance. Yet these different styles can clash and lead to frustration. Understanding these styles is the key to better team relationships.
You’ll get everything you need to guide a team of 10 people through this workshop.
