Bridging the Communication Gap
Why Can't We Just Get Along?
"Why can't they just figure it out on their own?" "What is taking him so long?!" "Why does she keep talking about stuff she doesn't know about?" "Why can't we ever have a productive team meeting?"
In the typical workplace, there are a wide range of personality types, all trying to accomplish the same thing but having very different ways of doing it. We often label others as "control freaks" or "fly by the seat of her pants" types, sometime using even less flattering terminology. Underneath those behaviors is a core personality trait - introversion or extroversion - that informs whether we prefer to be rapid fire or have lots of space.
Introverts and extroverts manage their professional presence in fundamentally different ways. This 3 hour interactive workshop will close the communication gap between introverts and extroverts in your firm, which opens up everyone to greater productivity and profitability. (PS: Don't be surprised if you learn some things that help with your personal relationships, too!)
