Team Training

Our customized team training is designed to improve your team’s communications by looking at the different styles of communications of each team member. Each employee will take an electronic survey to discover their communication style and receive a customized report. This survey is based upon the same concepts as DiSC and Myers-Briggs where employees are discovery which communication and decision styles are most familiar and comfortable for them. However, our survey is only 20 questions and can be replicated through paper forms for any department at your company in the future as it is a free use document.

Once all your team members have completed the survey, we will schedule a two-hour block for team training. The first part of the training will be a discussion of the four main styles identified in the survey. Each employee will have their customized report provided at the training, which will show through graphics what styles are most dominant, dominate, preferred, or least preferred. This can be an eye-opening experience for team members to discover that communication styles alone can be a barrier to good health communication in the workplace.

The training will then shift to the common barriers to good communications that occur in workplaces and between individuals. The concepts of active listening, communication channels, breakdowns, and barriers, and how to reframe and respond to conflict will be the main topics discussed. This training includes extensive interaction between team members to engage in interactive discussions on various questions and hypotheticals posed to the group by the facilitator. In addition, there will be handouts of various tools, hints, and processes that can be used by the team to ensure that communications in the future continue to be productive.

Teams who have been through the training have found it to be informative, enlightening, and entertaining. Additionally, because the survey is a free use document, as team members are added the survey can be used during orientation. By continuing to utilize the communication styles model, the new team member can more effectively integrate into team communications and dynamics instead of trying to figure by trial and error the best way to communicate with team members.
