Communicating Across Differences - HBDI®

HBDI Hermann Whole Brain Thinking Model
 

High-performing teams share A secret:

They welcome differences.  

For many teams, it is precisely those differences that lead to misunderstanding, conflict and a lack of forward movement. But for those teams take the time to understand different thinking preferences and styles of communication, those differences can actually become their strength.

In this highly engaging training, we'll use the evidence-based measures and Herrmann Brain Dominance Indicator (HBDI®) to harness the power of diverse thinking to strengthen communication, enhance collaboration, and skyrocket team productivity. By identifying their own thinking preferences and learning how to flex to others, participants will come away with the language and tools to immediately become a higher performing and more engaged team.
