A hands-on workshop to help you gain a better understanding of your strengths and communication style and explore what this means for how you communicate in teams.

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 communication style and explore what this means for how you communicate and collaborate in teams.

This hands-on workshop will use the StrongSuits cards to help you gain a better understanding of your strengths, limitations and communication styles and explore what this means for how you communicate and collaborate in teams.

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)
*Our limitations hold the keys to our strengths (Daniel Ofman)
*Diversity makes teams stronger (Belbin, McKinsey)
*People communicate in different ways (Linda Berens, William Moulton Marston)

This has profound implications for team members, coaches, facilitators, managers and leaders to understand different communication styles and how to coach individuals and teams to play to their strengths and derive the maximum benefit from the cognitive diversity in teams
