The loudest voice in the room is not always the right voice to follow, stated Suzanne Yost in her article, “Why Introverts Make some of the Best Leaders.” She shares that research shows, introverted leaders can increase profits and productivity. Why and how, will be shared throughout the workshop.
This time will focus on introverted leaders, and will provide participants with a greater understanding of how one can play off of their introvert demeanor to their benefit. Participants will also complete the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MTBI) assessment to identify their preferred interaction style with the world.

Leaders of organizations and units also realize the impact of conflict on an organization’s or team’s culture. Do we have an environment that allows for differences of opinion to be openly shared? Do you or your team members have the knowledge and skills to work through conflict situations rather than allowing conflict to undermine the team’s or unit’s effectiveness?
This workshop will provide participants with a greater understanding of how conflict affects their work and strategies to develop one’s conflict management skills. Participants will also complete the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) assessment to identify their preferred mode of conflict management and understand individual & team implications to their style.
