The Dynamic Communication Seminar™
Increasing Communication Through Understanding Behaviors

This communication seminar for teams will open your eyes to a new way of viewing yourself and others. Taking the time to understand the different behaviors of others is the key to effective communication and increased productivity. Discovering how to communicate more effectively will enable you to achieve the things you want, not only at work but also in life.

This Seminar Will Help You:

• Gain awareness of your own behavioral style
• Recognize, understand and appreciate other's styles
• Adapt your style for effective communication and increased productivity

What Are Behaviors?
Our behaviors show "how" we act. Our behaviors are developed from both nature and nurture. Research has shown that behavioral characteristics can be grouped together into four quadrants, or styles, which are referred to as DISC.

• Dominance
• Influence
• Steadiness
• Compliance

By attending the seminar you will have the opportunity to take your own DISC assessment and learn the universal language of your team members.

Your Attitude is Showing Seminar™
Increasing Communication Through Understanding Attitudes

Attitudes and values are what provide people with purpose and direction in their lives. They are the "why" behind our actions. All of our choices and decisions are motivated and directed by our attitudes and values. You will walk away from this seminar with a better understanding of how you and your team go about making choices.

This Seminar Will Help You:

• Know which attitudes drive your life, actions and decisions.
• Understand each attitude and the interaction of each.
• Recognize the driving forces in others' lives.
• Understand others' viewpoints and be able to dialogue convincingly by seeing the world through their eyes.

Recognizing Values
On a fairly frequent basis most people experience what are referred to as "differences of opinion", "ethical dilemmas" or "values conflicts" between themselves and their spouses, co-workers, children, friends, customers, or their organizations. By being able to recognize and understand the six values clusters or "filters" which all people use to process information and make decisions, you can choose to communicate or sell more effectively.

Six Value Types:

• Aesthetic
• Individualistic
• Social
• Theoretical
• Traditional
• Utilitarian

This seminar focuses on helping you to look at the world through someone else's eyes, as well as, more clearly seeing how you view the world.
