Enhanced Negotiation Skills using DiSC (T8)
Overview:
Understanding the personal preferences and style of the person sitting on the other side of the negotiating table provides people with a huge advantage. If you are heading into a negotiation with someone with a distinctive high C-Style, you’ll know to be prepared to discuss data, information and details. If you try the same method with a high I-Style, they may become disengaged or worse, feel overwhelmed and avoid contact with you.
How hard should you push your negotiating partner? Since the styles vary so widely, understanding the basics of each personality and what they crave most is key to successfully navigating a negotiation with them.
This session will provide participants insight on their personal style and that of their colleagues, thereby making the negotiation process easier to navigate. Prerequisite: DiSC assessment and training.

Delivering with Agility (T9)
Overview:
As companies rush to implement new Agile methodologies (e.g. Scrum or Kanban), they may overlook new organizational challenges: discrepant priorities, unclear decision-making, siloed information, and a proliferation of inefficient meetings.
Despite best intentions, unforeseen cultural factors may cause a sense of “analysis paralysis”, ultimately decreasing the responsive capacity of the entire company. Research supports this, as only 13% of employees feel that their company is always looking for the simplest way to get the job done.
This workshop helps develop a culture of responsiveness and empowerment by creating a solid framework for moving from challenge to successful outcomes with clarity and agility.

Session duration: 2-3 hours
