HOW AM I COMMUNICATING
AND INFLUENCING OTHERS?
How you choose to communicate with others either adds to your chance of success or it blocks it from happening. Learn to raise your emotional intelligence.
In communication there is a sender and at least one receiver. What gets in the way of your message being received by others as intended? Paying attention to the values held by the other will assist with the success of your message.
Using concepts from Relationship Awareness theory and Emotional Intelligence will show you why some ways of communicating work with some people, while these same ways may not work with others. You will become masterful at recognizing how others can be influenced, and how to avoid conflict in your relationships.
By completing a values assessment called the Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI) and experiencing practical, skill-based exercises, you will be better able to predict the outcome of your communication, and make better choices to get the results you need. Additional assessments include MBTI, DISC, Hogan, and the EI360. MBTI focuses on the differences of personality type, DISC looks at differences in behavioral styles, Hogan helps you see how you manage how you are perceived by others, and the EI360 narrows down strengths and development areas of emotional intelligence. No matter which assessment you choose, you are assured skill development and new ways of creating success in your relationships.

"This woman is one heck of a workshop presenter!!! She trains on the Strength Deployment Inventory...the SDI / Relationship Awareness Theory. I can not tell you how impressed I am with the material, but with Tina's presentation, as well. ( yep, I still compare and contrast my stuff' with every other trainer I study with) SDI is, by far, THE best way to talk about soft skills in a concrete fashion."
