Could it be that our STYLE of communication is what is driving the results we keep getting?

We will start off looking at personality types and attendees' default communication styles.

• Determine our own personality type

• A quick review of the 4 personality types

• Based on characteristics learned about the types, try to determine the other attendees' personality types.

• Determine ways in which we may interact with them in given scenarios and have them give feedback as to how that approach may be received by them.

• Uncover alternative communication strategies that we could use in the same scenarios that may get us closer to our desired results.

Potential usefulness - navigating difficult conversations; managing conflict; negotiating prices, salary, tasks, deadlines etc.
