Strengths Finder

Identify and understand your strengths, both inside and outside the workplace. StrengthsFinder is a personal development tool developed by Gallup Education that provides an individual with their “Top 5” strengths. The assessment is based on 34 different strength themes divided into four domains of Strategic Thinking, Relationship Building, Influencing, and Executing.

Participants will Learn:

Their individual Top 5 strengths and what they mean, why an individual’s strengths make them unique. According to Gallup’s website, “people who use their strengths every day are three times more likely to report having an excellent quality of life, six times more likely to be engaged at work, 8 percent more productive, and 15 percent less likely to quit their jobs.” Knowing your strengths can help you perform better individually and as part of a team. 

Whether you're looking to improve yourself or if you're a leader wanting to empower your people to perform better, your efforts start with StrengthsFinder.

Employee Engagement

Here’s something they don’t teach in business school: As a manager, YOU have the greatest influence on your organization’s growth.

Workgroups with high levels of engagement experience

18% more productive than those in the bottom quartile

23% more profitable than those in the bottom quartile

With an engagement-focused manager in place, a team prospers: people love their jobs, they are productive, customers are engaged and the organization grows.

Successful managers increase productivity and success by leading with a focus on employee engagement. They consistently create an engaging environment that energizes and motivates employees and teams. 

Workplace Communication

Conflict resolution is on everyone’s priority list in today’s workplace, but often gets left off of the daily to-do list.

Communication and the lack of communication is often times the source of conflict. Workplace communication involves face-to-face communication, phone calls, instant messaging, and videoconferencing.

Participants will learn:

• Defining practical ways to communicate clearly
• Learning how to handle conflict for a positive outcome
• Learning how to navigate unhealthy team dynamics to gain a more productive workplace

Situational Leadership

The Situational Leadership^® methodology is based on the relationship between leaders and followers and provides a framework to analyze each situation based on the Performance Readiness^® Level that a follower exhibits in performing a specific task, function or objective. Then, based on the leader’s diagnosis, the necessary amounts of relationship behavior and task behavior are applied and communicated to the follower in order to support their needs and advance development.

Participants will learn:

• Diagnose an individual’s Performance Readiness^® to complete a specific task
• Adapt leader behavior based on the diagnosis
• Communicate an influence approach in a manner that followers can both understand and accept
• Advance by managing the movement toward higher performance
