Personal Excellence for Teams

Personal Excellence for Teams  - “Let’s manage our differences.”

It has been said that a lack of self-awareness contributes to 80-90% of workplace problems. With greater self-understanding and awareness, employees are better equipped to communicate with team members, understand and appreciate strengths and differences and others and are better able to excel in competencies such as: accountability, managing change, communication, relationship building, service excellence and more.

Throughout this workshop, in addition to content rich teaching segments, participants are led through a variety of individual and group exercises and discussions to provide in-depth self-understanding and self-awareness in order to increase individual and team performance and therefore bottom line business results.
