   "It's not what you know; but who you know." — American Saying

  This module focuses on a key factor of success — your personal and professional relationships. 
  

  Knowing how to relationships present many benefits. To sum up: 
  

  • Employees all want to work with someone they like, 

  • They only listen to those they trust, 

  They know how to convey a positive first impression,

  • They want to work for someone who has credibility, and 

  • They prefer to work with someone who has the empathic skills to deal with their less desirable emotions.

  And of course, one cannot exercise influence if the relationship is not sound. This is one thing, we never get too good at.

  Module Description:
  

  Every time someone speaks in a group setting they are playing a role. These communication roles don’t last long -- from a minimum of a couple of seconds to a maximum of a couple of minutes. Yet these “microroles” greatly impact group effectiveness by determining how well the group handles information. In fact, these verbal patterns determine whether individuals even understand what’s going on.

  Outcomes include:

  • Understanding how to play the role

  • Playing the 10 task roles that insure the job gets done.

  • How to play 6 relationship roles to build bonds between individuals

  • Recognizing and controlling the 10 self-oriented roles that disrupt groups

  • Identifying four personality types that produce dysfunctional behavior.

  This is for managers, supervisor's, and service professionals such as health care professionals, accountants, trainers, and consultants.
