Embracing Change: Leveraging the power of personality to support change
$300 (Half-day AM workshop)
We live in an era of constant, rapid transformation and change, which is affecting people in their day-to-day work lives and the performance of organizations. While it is widely acknowledged people react to change in different ways, it remains one of the most overlooked and yet crucial aspects of change initiatives in organizations. These differences stem from multiple factors which can seem overwhelming. However, the MBTI® personality type framework offers a logical and practical way of helping people best meet their needs and also work with the needs of colleagues when faced with change. This workshop will provide tried and tested ways of helping people embrace change using powerful insights from the MBTI instrument.

Develop an understanding of the common psychological reactions of change
Increase awareness of your reactions to change in relation to your personality type
Understand others’ reactions to change and how to work with their needs
Learn how to increase buy-in and adaption to change and decrease resistance
Learn ways to manage your response to change in a positive and constructive way

Practical tips for managers to build trusting relationships workshop
$300 (Half-day PM workshop)
Employee surveys continue to reveal trust as a critical component in the workplace for organizational success. Despite this being a top value for most organizations, research has shown only 49% of employees trust their manager. So how do you build trusting relationships as a manager when many organizational policies are outside of your control? In this workshop we will focus on the human behavioral tendencies that can hinder trust and explore strategies to overcome these tendencies.
Practical Tips for Managers to Build Trusting Relationships is an interactive half-day workshop facilitated by CPP’s Director of US Professional Services and leadership development expert Sherrie Haynie, M.Ed. By the end of the session, participants will have learned:
How to identify their own behavioral tendencies impacting trust
How to build trusting relationships with direct reports during performance improvement conversations, encouragement or showing appreciation of efforts
How to build trust by improving the ability to gain buy-in and support
What you'll learn
During this workshop, participants will delve into behavioral tendencies impacting trust. One size does not fit all, as certain behaviors will promote trust with some individuals, yet drive a wedge in your relationship with others. Through interactive exercises, you will explore your own blind spots and biased assumptions that fuel behavioral tendencies, hindering trust, as well as learning strategies to overcome these tendencies.
What you'll get
Participants will walk away with practical tips to immediately apply in day-to-day settings to build or strengthen trusting relationships with their teams. Participants will need to have completed an MBTI assessment and verified their personality type pre-workshop. If you don't know your MBTI type, you will be invited to complete the questionnaire ahead of the workshop.
Who should attend?
Line-of-Business managers interested in exploring team development by building or strengthening team trust.
