Communication and Teamwork in the Workplace

Self-awareness is the cornerstone of personal effectiveness. For a group to communicate effectively, everyone must be aware of their own preferences and be able to flex in relation to the perspectives of their team members. This course will introduce a tool called Insights Discovery, a powerful preference-based framework that uses colour as a common language. Insights helps people understand themselves and their colleagues so that they can have more respectful, productive, and positive working relationships, even across virtual boundaries.
