LearningEDGE

Professional Learning and Development Workshops

Two key elements of an organization are learning and development. These elements are widely recognized necessities for enhancing workplace effectiveness and interpersonal interactions. Our LearningEDGE workshops provide essential skills and tools that will unlock the barriers to higher productivity and open both individuals and teams to expanding their abilities to create and produce.

LearningEDGE workshops are delivered using experience-based learning methodologies. Each workshop is designed for active learning so that participants can apply the tools in any workplace environment. These workshops allow participants to receive feedback and coaching from EDGE experts and their peers while discovering various ways of applying all skills learned. As with all EDGE programs, our goal is a positive experience for each individual in the LearningEDGE workshops while enhancing team collective effectiveness that transfers back to your organization.

All of our LearningEDGE workshops can also be delivered as part of a longer learning block with any of our LeadingEDGE programs. The workshop tools learned can be used after team interactions for LeadingEDGE programs and in the office by providing a new common language for debriefing.

A ProfessionalEDGE facilitator is assigned to each LearningEDGE program and works with the organization before, during, and after the workshop to ensure an organization’s learning needs are met. Our expert staff consists of qualified or certified trainers for the delivery of every behavioral instrument and learning tool we offer. This way we can make your success our success.

LearningEDGE Workshop Options

PersonalityEDGE: Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®

Diversity of personalities in teams is a competitive advantage to an organization – as long as those personalities are understood and capitalized to enhance interpersonal interactions and team effectiveness. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) will improve team success by presenting the strengths and benefits associated with specific personality traits. It also provides the tools and common language needed to harness those personalities for full individual and team potential.

Beginning with individual assessments, every participant will access the personality strength that they bring to your team. Then we will determine how each individual’s strength in your group can enhance workplace interactions and team management. Experiential applications will make this workshop fun and engaging for any team looking to improve communication skills, reduce conflict, develop self-aware leaders, promote morale, facilitate relationship building, or re-invigorate their culture with a renewed sense of purpose, commitment, and understanding.

• Recommended Add-on program: Any LeadingEDGE program
• Program Length: 1 Day, Half-day for MBTI only

These programs can be delivered to in any location in the country.

MotivationalEDGE: Apter Motivational Style Profile©

The Apter Motivational Style Profile is based on Reversal Theory, which states that at any given time, people make the choices they make based on what motivational state they are in. In our MotivationalEDGE workshops your team members will learn more about motivational states, what states they are in most often, and how their states affect their teammates. Groups will develop skills for reversing into motivational states and determining what the most appropriate state is in the moment.

• Recommended Add-on program: Any LeadingEDGE program
• Program Length: 1 Day, Half-day for Apter only

These programs can be delivered to in any location in the country.

StrengthsFinder Profile®

Based on a 40-year study of human strengths, Gallup has created a language of the 34 most common talents and developed the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment to help people discover their own talents. The theory behind the assessment is to build upon what an individual does best instead of ‘fixing’ what isn’t working.

This is a positive approach to individual development and awareness that extends into what your team does best and explores how you can build on your collective strengths. For this instrument, all participants will receive the book, StrengthsFinder 2.0, and have access to an online strengths community, so you can learn more.

Appreciative Inquiry

AI is a systems methodology created to discover an organization’s successes, strengths, and undiscovered jewels and then to build on that information for higher performance, increased productivity, and to reach goals. This workshop will not carry out the entire AI process, but instead, will teach the team members some basic methodology and facilitate some discussions that will begin to expose the team’s strengths.
