Lunch & Learn: Using Insights to Help Teams Collaborate

Have you ever wondered why you just “click” with some people? Why some clients or business partners are so easy to work with but others drive you crazy? Why some colleagues seem to read your mind, while with others you struggle with recurring “miscommunications”?

Your professional success depends on your ability to develop and manage relationships with clients, colleagues, partners and others around you on a daily basis. In this Lunch & Learn session, Jennifer Winn helped participants look at some of the natural behavioral styles that underlie their actions and form the basis of others’ perceptions of them. Understanding these styles – and how to “flex” them when appropriate – can help you manage your relationships more effectively. Attendees learned to identify common “triggers” in themselves and others, and Jennifer gave them tips for how to improve their ability to influence and persuade those around them.

Jennifer is the founder of principal of Winn Performance Partners, an executive development and communication training firm. She specializes in helping executives and teams maximize their ability to achieve their goals by improving interpersonal dynamics and communication. To find out more about Jennifer's work and her use of Insights to improve communication and collaboration you can contact her at 925-314-9660 or e-mail jennifer@winnperformance.com.

Upcoming Using DiSC to Help Teams Collaborate Lunch & Learn Webinar

This week's lunch & learn webinar will be the third of our three-part webinar series looking at the three popular assessment tools Myers-Briggs, the Enneagram and DiSC. Last month, Jerry Pico gave an interactive presentation about Myers-Briggs which was followed by Donna Fowler and Ben Saltzman sharing their expertise on the Enneagram. The series will conclude with this week's webinar on DiSC.

This Thursday, December 11th, Janet Fitzgerald will share her knowledge about DiSC with us. She will explore how, when individuals and teams better understand each other’s behavioral styles and preferences, they are likely to build on each other’s strengths, better manage differences and work together more effectively. Janet will examine how DiSC works and discuss how it can improve team collaboration.

Lunch & Learn: Working together effectively: Using the Enneagram to help teams collaborate

After learning about the Myers-Briggs asessment tool last week, we continued our assessment tool lunch & learn webinar series this week and heard from Donna Fowler and Ben Saltzman about the Enneagram. Through their direct experiences Donna and Ben have developed the Coaching to Deep-Level Change coaching model. Together they have created a comprehensive, four-year training program where they teach coaches and therapists to use this model in conjunction with the Enneagram.

During yesterday's lunch & learn presentation Donna and Ben described the function of the Enneagram and provided their insights into its uses and benefits. They presented the nine different personality types and explained how knowledge of one's type can facilitate a decrease in anxiety and improved collaboration with others.

To find out more about Donna and Ben or their Transformational Coaching with the Enneagram (TCE) program offerings and online trainings, see their listing at: www.enneagramcoachtraining.com. You can also learn about Donna and Ben's upcoming Enneagram event.

Lunch & Learn: Working together effectively: Using Myers-Briggs to help teams collaborate

During today's Lunch & Learn webinar session Jerry Pico, an experienced Human Resources Development Consultant qualified by the Association of Psychological Type to administer and interpret the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), provided our audience with an engaging and insightful presentation about using the MBTI to help teams better collaborate. Jerry drew from his over twelve years of experience using Myers-Briggs to help individuals and groups enhance their self-understanding, relationships and performance. He began the session by explaining that the MBTI is the most widely used personality assessment tool in the world and can be affirming, empowering and liberating for those who use it.

Jerry went on to walk lunch & learn participants through the four preferences that determine one's Myers-Briggs personality type. He then showed a type chart that displayed the breakdown of type distribution in the United States and discussed how one can use the knowledge of theirs and others' types to be most successful in team settings.
