Too many team members mis-communicate, blame, and let their personal biases effect their cooperation and productivity. Personality Dimensions® helps teams appreciate the different lenses from which we view the world. This human relations tool is based on leading-edge research into motivation and behavior.  After taking this introductory workshop you will recognize your own unique blend of strengths and qualities. You will find that you better appreciate others’ differences. Once you understand what motivates behavior in people with different personalities your team will happily get more accomplished!

Participants will:

• take the Personality Dimensions® inventory

• show increased understanding, empathy and support for others
• know how to increase teamwork cooperation and celebration

I attended Alnoor’s session on “Personality Dimensions and Leadership: Understanding Self and Your Team to Manage Conflict and Communicate Effectively” at APEGA’s Professional Development day. He established his credibility as knowledgeable in the topic and provided tools to the participants to succeed in their inter-personal interactions.
Alnoor’s session was useful for self reflection and becoming mindful of one’s relation with others. Alnoor’s presentation style makes his session fun, engaging and enlightening.”

Build Your Team for Workplace Fun and Satisfaction

Project teams are becoming increasingly common, but it takes time to build a great team.  Personality Dimensions® can facilitate effective communication and shared understanding of team goals and objectives, as well as necessary conditions for personal productivity. Employee engagement is the highlight of this team building workshop.

Participants will:

• discover how synergies can make the team’s results greater than the sum of individual contributions
• the strengths each person brings to the team
• be given ways to adjust their style of communication to improve team efficiency and minimize unproductive conflict

We asked Alnoor to facilitate a staff development for us on Business Communications. Alnoor’s background in career coaching was a good fit for us, as he knew how to apply the principles of communication directly in our work. Our afternoon was engaging, informative and thought provoking. The format of the workshop included visuals, teamwork, and discussions. There’s never a dull moment when Alnoor is around! He is a great speaker, trainer, and coach.”

Find Common Ground with Conflict Resolution Skills  

Conflict is inevitable in the workplace. But resolving it isn’t. Coming to agreement takes skill and planning. One of the greatest challenges when mediating conflicts is helping parties to focus on their underlying needs, values and beliefs. Focusing on underlying core interests leads to identifying common ground and moving forward.

Participants will:

• examine barriers to conflict resolution
• identify their personal styles and how they and others respond to conflict
• recognize the different ways people act and react when experiencing
• be given tools to facilitate positive interactions in less than ideal situations
