Building Relationship Versatility™: Social Styles at Work
Building Relationship Versatility: Social Styles at Work is built around a four-quadrant Social Styles matrix. After being profiled, participants are assigned a Social Style, interpersonal versatility rating, and specific versatility behaviors. During the workshop, participants learn how to identify others’ Social Styles and, based on understanding their own and others’ style, learn to modify their own behaviors to communicate more easily and effectively with others.
