Preparation/ Pre-requisites

Personality Dimensions workshop/assessment prior to attending this workshop. The Professional Report will be generated from the most recent assessment results that we have on file, which will be sent to you at least 7 days prior to the workshop. 

Workshop Overview 

Personality Dimensions has been a foundational tool used in the exploration of self and others. Since 2007, hundreds of employees and students at the University of Waterloo have utilized the knowledge gained through this tool for self-awareness and professional development. It’s time to take that learning one step further. Utilizing the Professional Report, participants will learn about the characteristics and workstyles of the four temperament types while customizing their leadership style to better understand that no two people are the same and what motivates one, may not motivate the other. This workshop can help participants tailor their leadership approach to suit individual needs and preferences and boost team engagement.
