Effective Communication training seeks to improve performance by fostering more adaptive communication leading to greater trust and team-building.
Prior to your training, participants may take the Forté profile assessment which immediately identifies communication preferences. The training then focuses on understanding and applying the results to the participants' communication challenges and goals. From that basic report, we can engage in large-group sessions, team-level workshops, or individual-level coaching.
Each session focuses on tapping into the insights generated by the following tools:
Each Forté workshop can be adjusted to fit your time constraints and needs - from 90-minute lunch and learn sessions, to half-day or full-day retreats. Participants can explore their profile results interactively. Teams can make Forté Training a regular part of staff development! The insights and skills learned in this workshop are immediately applicable to any environment where communication is important.
