Personality Dimensions®
in the Workplace
The rapid chages in the economy are driving workplaces that demand effective working relationships. Personality Dimensions® creates a framework with which to establish and communicate goals and expectations. Since no one is ever energized by focusing on negative or poor behaviours; Personality Dimensions® workshops highlight the values and strengths each person brings, and reinforces these in a positive framework for everyone. The number one goal of each session is to build the grounds for an atmosphere of mutual understanding and respect; increase communication; and create strong relationships within the work environment and beyond.
Using the philosophy of understanding yourself and others, Personality Dimensions® motivates and inspires team members to boost effectiveness. In the long run, you will save time, energy and money; and build better employee relations, which equals efficiencies on both a personal and corporate level.
By the end of a Personality Dimensions® Introductory Workshop, participants will have a better understanding of themselves, appreciate why others act the way they do, and understand the effect this has on workplace roles and responsibilities.
Application Sessions
Building on the successes created in the Introductory Program, Personality Dimensions® offers workshops that address specific challenges or goals for your departments and teams. These custom-tailored workshops can be executed in conjunction with an Introductory Program, or as a follow-up session at a later time.
Conflict Management
In life and work, conflict is difficult to avoid, and for many, difficult to work through and/or successfully resolve. By understanding the motivations behind why we respond to conflict the way we do, and how we manage it can minimize the negative effects it has in our lives and in the workplace. A Personality Dimensions® Conflict Management Program offers practical solutions to help recognize and adjust to the diverse ways others will experience, manage, and seek to resolve conflict.
Leadership Development
Understanding and fostering leadership roles in the workplace is fundamental to the success of any organization. A Personality Dimensions® Leadership Development Program can help any organization enhance the skills of the existing leadership team and develop new leaders from within. This program helps leaders identify their work styles and preferences, communicate more effectively with subordinates, peers, and customers; motivate team members to achieve extraordinary results and facilitate transformational organizational change..
Testimonials
“I have been using the PD tool for over 5 years and being a management development and corporate trainer for over 10 years, I have found this particular assessment tool to be the 'assessment of choice' amongst our facilitation team and, more importantly, our clients. We use the PD assessment for a wide verity of applications including recruitment and retention, leadership training, customer service and sales skills and team building activities. The PD assessments have been one of the most effective tools for our clients who report that the practicality and easy adaptability of the information from PD has increased productivity, improved communications and relationships and increased morale.”

Team Building
Project teams are becoming increasingly common, but it takes time and effort to build a great team. A Personality Dimensions® Team Building Program can facilitate effective communication and a shared understanding of team goals and objectives, as well as necessary conditions for personal productivity. This workshop will also help recognize the strengths and challenges of various communication styles. Participants learn to adjust their style of communicating to be better heard by diverse teammates, improving efficiency and minimizing unproductive conflict. This workshop gives the opportunity for team members to openly discuss their needs, expectations, motivators and potential challenges – fostering a deeper understanding of what individuals will contribute to the team and how synergies can make the team’s results greater than the sum of individual contributions.
Work/Life Balance
Many people identify finding work-life balance as their number one problem in today’s busy world. Whether juggling a new career and a young family, supporting aging parents, engaging in professional development, or managing some other combination of challenging roles, the demands and pressures can be great. A Personality Dimensions Work/Life Balance Program offers creative and practical solutions that helps individuals identify what “balance” means to them and learn how to create and maintain a life that is in balance and personally fulfilling.
