Personality: Leverage Strengths and Mininmize Weaknesses to Improve Performance

Speaker Josh Dye

Many of us have taken a personality assessment at some point in our lives. These often happen when we are getting hired or as part of team building exercises.

Whether it was the Myers-Briggs, DiSC, Strength Finder, Enneagram or something else, we learned our natural strengths and weaknesses and those of our teammates as well.

A common outcome is to finally feel understood by our co-workers. I am what I am. Now THEY know how to adjust to work better with me.

In other words, we experience validation and gain some insight, but don’t grow or change.

There is a better way.

In this training we will explore how to better utilize personality assessments to leverage our strengths and minimize weaknesses.

You will learn: (Learning Objectives)

  • Popular personality tests and what they reveal.
  • How to use the personality assessment to identify areas where you can improve your performance.
  • How to use the personality assessments to better understand how others view you, and help you adjust to others.
  • A ‘work style’ assessment that will help you more easily adapt and work effectively with others.
