A Clash of Personalities: Improve Communication, Leadership and Teamwork through the Power of DISC
Your individual personalities affects every aspect of our life. That's why one of the best things you can do to achieve results in life, career and business is to understand what naturally drives you and what drives others. Everyone you encounter is motivated differently, communicates differently, and views tasks and relationships differently. The Maxwell DISC workshop will help you achieve greater success when you learn to value your strengths as well as those of others.
DISC is an acronym that stands for Dominant, Influential, Steady and Compliant personality styles and helps describe how we do what we do.
Take your Team through the Fun, Engaging, and Enlightening Workshop to help them understand:
-Their DISC communication and Leadership style
-The communication style of others and how to connect to them
-Understand how others are different and how to work with each personality
-The ideal environment where they can bring their best forward
-Learn effective strategies for handling conflict and personality clashes
-How they can grow into their potential
Plus much more! Your team members will love learning more about themselves and others
Everyone Communicates but Few Connect
Take your communication skills to a new level by focusing on what really matters when it comes to communicating with peers, upper management and subordinates. Effective Communication goes beyond body language, eye contact and using eloquent words. Kemi takes you through the strategies that leaders use to communicate in a way that inspires action and yields results.

The Leadership Iceberg: Focusing on What Matters for Organizational Success
High turnover rates, lack of employee engagement, and unsuccessful initiatives are some of the problems plaguing organizations today that cannot be resolved except through effective leadership. A lot of employees are burned out, productivity is low, team performance is poor, and customer satisfaction rates are dismal. These are just a few of the issues faced by organizations today that result in slow growth, lack of progress, and reduction in profits.
When we think of organizational success, we think of good leadership; and when we think of good leadership, this is where misconceptions abound. Leadership is misconstrued to be about position, titles, experience, and strategy, but true leadership is about influencing others, driving results, and making an impact. Organizations that have a strong leadership culture are more successful than those who don’t. Effective leadership across the organization is the differentiator when it comes to building a world-class organization. In this workshop, we will discover a fresh approach to leadership, learn and apply simple techniques that are more effective, and yield results for individuals, teams, and organizations.
Team Work That Works: Creating and Maintaining High Performance Teams
A recent Glass Door study reveals that 79% of teams are dysfunctional. A lot of teams in existence today are just not working and as a result are not getting results. We will talk about the power of Influence and discover and apply the Growth Studio's VICE method of creating a high performance team. This presentation can be offered as a talk, 1/2 day workshop, or one day intensive.
Unleash the Leader in You: Raise your Influence, Drive Results, and Maximize your Impact
Many of us are talented and skilled in our professions but our effectiveness only goes so far if we cannot influence others. Our talents, job roles, responsibilities, and educational background are not enough to succeed and reach our desired goals. Every sports team has very talented players, but without self-leadership and coaches who truly lead, the team is not successful. The team may win games occasionally but will not win championships. Lack of effective leadership is why CEO’s and top executives are changed when an organization is not performing.
Leadership is all about influence; and it takes the power of influence to navigate through the challenges we face as individual contributors, managers, or executives to achieve greater effectiveness, and drive results for lasting impact.
Participants will understand a fresh approach to leadership and learn the strategies to help them navigate through the unique challenges faced by their teams and organization as a whole. Everything Rises and Falls on Leadership!
Book me for this interactive discussion on leadership and go back to work with strategies that you can begin to implement for maximum results.
