Team Building Workshops
Attitude and Behavior
Presentation Skill Training

Everyone understands the importance of communication in an organization, yet few have mastered good communication skills.  The Estes Group offers two teamwork workshops that will have a positive impact on your participants' attitude and behavior by helping them develop more effective team communication skills.

After completing our diversity training workshops, your team will:

• Find solutions to barriers of communication

• Get better at team conflict management

• Achieve higher levels of personality compatibility

• Begin improving conversation skills

• Begin improving listening skills

You will also begin improving personal productivity, reducing organizational conflict, and improving employee morale.
 

Attitude and Behavior Workshops

Dynamic Communication™
What behaviors to measure for collaborative teamwork

Demotivating behaviors in teamwork is the target of this training. Our Dynamic Communication™ workshop begins with participants completing their DISC assessment, which measures their unique behavioral styles.  One of the most powerful team building exercises of this workshop will be for your team members to create their Team Manual, in which each person will place highlights from his or her behavioral profile.  The manual will explain how to communicate and relate with each team member, which will build rapport and lead to more effective teamwork.

The DISC assessment and teamwork exercises will show you reasons why there may be interpersonal conflict on your team and will help you develop on-going conflict resolution strategies.
 

Your Attitude Is Showing™
Organizational values and attitude compatibility

This workshop begins with participants completing our attitude questionnaires for their Workplace Motivators™ assessments.  This assessment measures each person's workplace attitude, which is strongly influenced by their personal values.  This report shows what motivates and drives each person on the team.  Diverse values can cause some of the worst conflict in the workplace, and in the world. 

After completing this workshop, your team members will better understand their interpersonal conflict and will improve their conflict resolution skills.

All of our workshops are interactive and include workbooks, handouts, and other materials to give your team a dynamic experience that will improve team communication and relationship compatibility.

These two communication workshops are part of a human resource strategic plan we offer our clients.  Click to get information on our 7 Steps to Building High Performance Teams.

“Annette was the highlight of our meeting for Cadillac managers in the Standards for Excellence process. They enjoyed learning about themselves and the personality types of their employees and/or customers and prospects. Annette presented material in a straightforward, easy to understand manner. We also appreciated that she offered follow up information and coaching to each of the participants. Annette is a qualified coach and a good presenter of her materials.”

Barbara Turino, SFE Facilitator

“Annette spoke at North Greenville Rotary Club in April of this year. Her topic "Why Can't You See It My Way" was very well received. One member came to me after the meeting and said her topic was the best this year. I think Annette also gained a new client from her presentation. I would very much recommend her as being on your speaker's list.”

Terry Drake, General Manager, The Mackey Mortuary

"I have had the pleasure of hearing presentations by Annette Estes of The Estes Group on several occasions. On one occasion I scheduled her myself for the Simpsonville Rotary. Her presentations held the audience’s attention and developed a good response. The most recent presentation was on discipline and behavior and was again well received. I recommend her if you are considering a speaker on any of the subjects on which she makes presentations. I believe you will be very happy you chose her."

Bob Harrison, Simpsonville Rotary
