Team Collaboration - idXready to go seminars

I recently had the opportunity to present the idXready Team Collaboration Skills for a  team within a large insurance company.   It was productive for the client, and great fun to deliver!

 This seminar was presented to a newly forming team of 30 people, who had fromed no bad habits or negative judgments.  That was a great advantage.

Here is what the Team Leader had to say about idXready: Collaborative Skills for Teams.

"The Collaborative Skills for Teams training session received excellent feedback from the 30 participants.   The content and structure of the sessions were fun, engaging and informative.  I would recommend this session for any newly-formed teams to set the groundwork for more productive team member interaction."  Joanne T - Team Leader - Large Insurance Company

DiSC Applications Library - What is it?

The Everything DiSC Applications Library from Inscape Publishing consists of three topic specific training
volumes. 

Each volume comes with a facilitator manual, participant handouts, and PowerPoints with video embedded right into the slides.  Best of all, it all comes on a USB travel drive.

Volume I - Everything DiSC Management Profile - Focuses on leaders in the organization.  Participants learn how to read the styles of the people they manage.   Managers learn to adapt to their styles and manage others more effectively.

Volume II -  Everything DiSC Sales - increases sales effectiveness using the power of DiSC.  Sales people improve their sales relationships by:

• Understanding their own DiSC Sales Style
• Identifying and Understanding their customer's DiSC Buying Style
• Adapting their DiSC Sales style to meet their customers needs.

Volume III - Everything DiSC Workplace - can be used with everyone in the organization, regardless of title or role, to improve th quality of the workplace.  Participants understand and appreciate the styles of the people they work with.  The result is more effective and productive working relationships - one person at at time.

In addition, Everything  DiSC Comparison Reports  are follow up reports that can be created for any two participants to illustrate their similarities and differences.  These  FREE REPORTS are available only from the Everything DiSC Applications Library.

The Everything DiSC Library profiles use the Circular DiSC Model.  

But you say . . . "I'm only familiar with the graph model." 

Not to worry!   

Transitioning from the graph to the circular model is very easy.  Both are valid, effective and relevant.

Everything DiSC Pulse: What Do Employees Really Want?

The topic of "Employee Compensation" is featured in the October issue of Training Magazine.

The research behind "What do Employees Really Want" indicated that money is important, but very few people are willing to go to work if their work isn't interesting and that it provides opportunities to learn new things.  

That's good news for those of us in the training and development industry.   

People want to take on new challenges . . . they want to learn new things . . .   they want to have opportunities for advancement.

Holiday Shopping in Style . . .

DiSC style that is . . . 

Add "People Reading" to your people watching while you're shopping this year.

Recognize the high "D" while shopping:

The High D will be fast, active and outgoing while shopping.  They will be goal oriented . . . they know what they want and will go for it - in an out of stores in record time.   Crowds, waiting in line, parking and traffic jams are not their cup of Christmas Cheer.   Gift certificates may be just the ticket for efficient D styles.

Recognize the high "i" while shopping:

The high "i" will make shopping an event . . . they will shop in herds . . . it's more fun that way.  The more the merrier.  They will want to meet friends at the food court for coffee and treats . . . and they will gather in spell bound alertness for glittering displays.  Their emotions will dictate their purchases . . . some impulse shopping may result in gifts for themselves as well as others.  The trendier the gift the better - bath items, candles and music top their list.

Recognize the high "S" while shopping:

The high "S" styles won't be as visible at the mall.   They got their shopping done last July.  Instead of fighting the crowds and the rush, they may sooner be home baking holiday treats for family and friends.   Their gifts will have been purchased from trusted stores during sale times.  Their gifts will be reliable favorites, not trendy in any way.

Recognize the high "C" while shopping:

The High "C" Will have done a lot of research and comparison shopping to insure they get the highest quality for the lowest price.   They may have done all their shopping online right after thanksgiving.  They will weigh the cost of extended warranties and future repairs.  You might see them in specialty shops gathering their last minute item.   They'll be back for after Christmas bargains too.

And while you're playing Santa . . . a DiSC Profile might fit the bill for that special someone.

NetWeaving - for Positive & Profitable Connections

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend a gathering / presentation on "NetWeaving."  It proved to be more than fruitful and profitable. 

"NetWeaving is a Pay it Forward form of Networking."   It is about creating meaningful relationships by helping others - believing simply that "what goes around, does come back around."

NetWeaving reverses the more traditional mindset of networking, which focuses on "How can you help me?" Instead, NetWeaving helps people learn to be alert to the possibility of being a "Connector" of people; focusing on the needs, problems and opportunities of others, rather than your own.

Becoming an effective NetWeaver requires a new skill set.   It's important to . . .

• Learn to become a better "connector of others," with their needs in mind instead of your own.
• Learn to "position" yourself as a no-strings attached "resource-provider" FOR others.
• Learn to constantly be on the lookout for persons who are "best of breed" at whatever it is they do, and the find a way to HELP THEM as a way of making connections as a part of your "Trusted Resource Network."

 Bob Littell, Author of The Heart and Art of NetWeaving says it best in his NetWeaver's Creed.

• I will constantly be on the lookout for opportunities to put people together in win/win relationships without concern for what I will get out of it.
• I will shift from thinking about WIIFM (What's In It For ME) to WIIFY (What's In It For YOU.)
• I will learn to be a resource for others, both regarding the types of information I can provide, and to surround myself with resource contacts who can be of service to those with whom I come in contact.

By attending a "NetWeaving" gathering, a connection/introduction was made that resulted in a significant training contract for me, using  idXready Team Collaboration Skills.  More about that in future postings.

For more NetWeaving information contact Bob Littell, Chief NetWeaver
www.netweaving.com  or chiefnetweaver@gmail.com

Wishing all of you positive NetWeaving opportunities and profitable connections.
