Build your team’s capacity to have productive conflict

Do you want colleagues who can:

- Appreciate how their style of handling conflict affects the people around them

- Learn how to “catch” themselves when going down a destructive conflict path

-Learn how to reframe a conflict situation and choose more productive behaviors

- Build a common language in the organization around appropriate conflict behavior?

The Everything DiSC® Productive Conflict Profile does just that!

This 22-page Profile provides an in-depth, highly personalized report that highlights techniques to improve self-awareness around conflict behaviors.

It’s customizable: Online tailoring options make it easy to remove or rearrange pages, customize the Profile title, or print select sections.

It uses self-awareness and application: Participants explore their own DiSC styles and learn how to interact in conflict with people with different DiSC styles.

Participants also explore common destructive responses to conflict and why they and others might react this way.

As with all Everything DiSC profiles, this comes with a Facilitation Kit providing scripts, PowerPoint slides, and customizable handouts so you or your training staff can deliver this content to small or large groups in your organization.

Build everyone's awareness of how they show up on teams!

Teamwork starts at the individual level. But in a modern workplace that is high-speed and high-stakes, how can you equip people to quickly build cohesiveness and deliver results? We have the solution.

Rather, participants can carry the takeaways of this program from one team to the next, enabling a culture of teamwork. Learners at all levels of an organization can benefit from this program and adopt its powerful principles, shape behaviors, and create a common language that empowers people to rewrite what it means to work together. Call me today to see this powerful model and profile.

Build engagement with these helpful profiles

The Gallup State of the Global Workplace Report for 2023 makes this important point: "Employee engagement does not mean happiness. If you are only measuring employee contentment, you are missing engagement. And the reality is that many corporate measures of engagement are really just measuring contentment. True engagement means your people are psychologically present to do their work. They understand what to do; they have what they need; and they have a supportive manager and a supportive team. They know why their work matters. They are work ready." (p. 10)

Having a supportive manager and a supportive team can be built using Everything DiSC® and Five Behaviors® profiles - they develop teamwork, personal awareness and ways to respond to others that keeps engagement and productivity high and tension low. Let me know how I can help your organization!

Using DiSC to cause meaningful results

With credit to my colleague Carol Horner, this shows how DiSC can be used to create meaningful results by strengthening employee commitment and engagement.

Employee well-being is the new workplace imperative.

In Gallup’s 2022 State of the Global Workplace, one of findings is this: Employee wellbeing is the new workplace imperative.

Wellbeing and engagement interact with each other in powerful ways. When employees are engaged and thriving, they experience significantly less stress, anger and health problems. Unfortunately, most employees remain disengaged at work. In fact, low engagement alone costs the global economy $7.8 trillion. The relationship between wellbeing and engagement is vital because how people experience work influences their lives outside work, and overall wellbeing influences life at work.

Organizations need to think about the whole person, not just the worker. Leaders should:

-add wellbeing measurements to their executive dashboards

-prioritize employee wellbeing as part of their employer brand promise

Both Everything DiSC and Five Behaviors tools increase both wellbeing and engagement - message me for a demo!
