Whether you’re a coach, facilitator, or team member, this hands-on workshop will use the StrongSuits cards to help you gain a better understanding of your strengths and interaction style and explore what this means for how you communicate and collaborate in teams.
Ryan Behrman is the CEO of StrongSuits and is one of the early pioneers, having learned StrongSuits under the mentorship of its founder and original creator, Dave Corbet.
As a team coach and ways-of-working facilitator in the software industry for over a decade, Ryan has obtained over a dozen coaching and facilitation certifications and has encountered hundreds of tools. It was only when he met Dave on a 5-day trek along the Cape Wrath Trail in the Scottish Highlands in 2015 (there are a lot more synchronicities to this story, but you will have to wait to hear the whole story!) that Ryan discovered to his delight how StrongSuits brings together the best of modern team development under one comprehensive toolset.
Ryan has trained or coached over a thousand managers, coaches and facilitators over more than a decade. Prior to that he was a software developer and senior project manager in multi-national consulting firms. He is the founder of Systemic Agility, an organisation and community dedicated to transforming teams and organisations through systemic coaching and facilitation.
Ryan is a graduate of the Warwick Business School MBA and is an author, co-author and ICAgile-authorised instructor of four industry-leading training courses in Team Agility Coaching, Team Agility Facilitation, Enterprise Agility Foundations and Coaching Enterprise Agility and Transformation.
You'll leave the workshop feeling energised and empowered to play to your strengths! StrongSuits is based on 4 findings from modern psychology: *People perform best when they play to their strengths (Gallup, Martin Seligman), *Every strength has a shadow side" (Daniel Ofman), *Diversity makes teams stronger (Meredith Belbin), *People have different interaction style preferences" (Linda Berens, William Moulton Marston). This has profound implications for team members, coaches, facilitators, managers and leaders to understand different interaction styles and how to coach individuals and teams to play to their strengths.
