Personal Dynamics Workshop (12 hours virtual delivery)
This workshop looks at the dynamics of individual development, primarily oriented to the work environment, but also applicable to social and family life. Several different psychological models are employed, focusing on core values, motivations, communication styles, information processing, decision-making, and stress reactions. A set of four informational booklets is supplied to the attendee for reference and homework assignments.
As a result of attending this workshop, you are able to communicate more effectively with co-workers, subordinates, and managers. You will gain a better understanding of individual differences which leads to reduced conflict, and allows you to participate more effectively with your team.
This workshop is presented one-on-one as a series of 2-hour webinars, and is highly experiential with many practical exercises designed to give you hands on practice with the concepts taught. Interspersed between each 2-hour session is a 45-minute telephone coaching session to expand upon the ideas learned and apply them to real-life situations. Typically, the sessions are scheduled weekly to allow time for practice and homework.
There is also the option to run this for a group of attendees (maximum 8) — contact me for pricing and scheduling.

Advanced Dynamics Workshop for Leaders and Teams (2 days)
This workshop builds on the learning from the basic Team Dynamics and Leadership Dynamics Workshops and is intended to bring leaders and their teams together to deepen the learning. It dives deeper into the psychology of teams, examining the different roles adopted by people at different positions within a team. Topics include heroic behavior, protective behavior, immature behavior, projection, complex formation, inner critics, manipulation, passive-aggressive behavior, transactional analysis, oppositional behavior, sabotage, unrealistic expectations, petulance, and stonewalling. Although it may seem to lean heavily toward the negative aspects of behavior, this workshop also explains the unexpected positive outcomes that can result from recognizing these activities.
