Relationship Awareness with the Strength Deployment Inventory

Improve group dynamics and performance outcomes by improving your Relationship Intelligence. Using the framework outlined in the Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI), understand your motivations and the motivations of others when interpreting behaviours. Are your behaviours are giving you the results you want? How do you interpret and deal with unproductive behaviours?

This half-day workshop is structured to include self-assessments to help you understand motivation, behaviour and the impact of that behaviour on other people. With that understanding, you will be able to make more effective choices and to influence the outcomes of your interactions.
