Using Your Strengths to Your Advantage
It’s no secret that some of us seem to have more natural social skill than others. But the truth is that we all have our own interpersonal strengths. Truly effective people know their talents and find opportunities to maximize their skills. But we all also have areas in which we struggle, and although we usually have access to interpersonal feedback, we rarely seek it out.
This program helps participants pinpoint their unique strengths and shows them how they can get the most out of their talents. The course also illustrates how these same strengths can be overused to the point that they become obstacles. Exercises provide a safe and constructive way for participants to gather interpersonal feedback from their fellow group members.
Armed with this feedback and a solid knowledge of their interpersonal strengths, participants are prepared to unearth their natural abilities and use them to their fullest.
The major learning objectives of this workshop are:
- To be able to recognize the diverse talents and preferences associated with each DiSC style.
- To understand their interpersonal strengths and how they have been overused in the past.
- To develop an openness to interpersonal feedback.
- To recognize the impact that their behavior has on other people.
- To create specific strategies for enhanced interpersonal effectiveness.
