Problem: Each member of an organization brings to his or her job a different temperament, a different way of listening, of communicating, and of working. When people of different temperaments work together without understanding their differences, the inevitable result is misunderstanding, miscommunication, and poor performance.

Solution: The answer to improving the performance of yourself and others in your organization is getting to know yourself better. Understanding yourself and others has an immediate effect on effectiveness. Communication will be facilitated and enhanced when different styles are understood and taken into account.

The PDI builds on the DISC theory pioneered in the 1920s and 30s by Dr. William Marston, a Columbia University psychologist. Marston conducted extensive research on personality types, eventually identifying four elements of behavior that are present to some degree in all people’s basic temperaments. Dr. Marston’s insights have endured for over 70 years, proving their effectiveness again and again in real-world trials. This fast-paced half-day workshop introduces your team to the PDI in a dynamic setting, with plenty of interaction, exercises and discussion. Participants identify their own personal behavioral style and discover valuable insights about the styles of others.
