The under-lying concept of this seminar is that we all are different. Some of us are thinkers, others are doers; some are passive, still others are aggressive. Most people come to work with pretty good intentions, but we get on each other’s nerves just by being ourselves. In the every-day stress of the work environment, the tiniest issues can escalate. And soon we are fighting about the way we are fighting, instead of dealing with the real issues. People do not respond to our intentions. They respond to our behavior.

The bottom line benefits, immediate and long lasting are, each participant getting a better understanding of his or her personality style, reduction of the potential for conflict or power struggles, higher morale and greater productivity, better listening and leadership skills, greater sensitivity to work force diversity, tools for influencing an emotionally safe climate, working with change; not against it, knowing how to approach different people and situations, implementation of change in a win/win situation, enhancing self-motivated work teams, what works and what doesn't work in terms of motivation and, dealing more effectively with difficult behavior
