Admit it: You have a certain way that you like to do things. Guess what? So does everyone else! In the foundational development program, “People Skills,” individuals develop an increased awareness of the impact that their behavior has on others, enabling them to strengthen relationships, improve communications, and modify their behavior in order to better work with and understand others. This session will provide an introduction to the program and give participants a chance to learn about their own styles.  

People Skills is a foundational development program that helps build productive organizations. The program increases awareness of our preferred style of behavior, or “behavior style,” which is perceived by others and impacts them in a positive or negative way. People Skills also increases awareness of how we see others. By observing the behavior of others, we can learn to recognize distinctive traits of a specific behavior style and modify our behavior towards that style accordingly. When we implement these behavior modifications and meet each other’s behavior style needs, we have better access to the talents, skills, and expertise of others. This builds trust and respect, allowing for better communication and collaboration throughout individual, team, and organizational relationships. 

Balancing technical expertise with “people skills” is challenging but essential to the success. This incredibly beneficial program provides a mechanism through which this balance can be achieved.
