Course Description

Have you ever had difficulty getting your point across? Do others drone on and on in excruciating detail or worse yet, do you get frustrated because others skim over the most important points? Ever been forced to make a decision without (gasp) all the fats? If any of these scenarios sound familiar, you are not alone. We continuously tell professionals that they must stand out from the crowd, but the result is often increased stress and frustration.

A key component of leadership is the ability to bring people together as a team to produce excellent results on time and on budget. We all work in teams - some are great, and well, some of those teams are . . . not so great.

Articulating your firm's differentiators is no simple task but trying to sound or act like someone else isn't the answer. It's time to trust your natural instincts and be yourself. In this one-hour webinar, Using Natural Instincts to Improve Team Synergy, marketer and Certified Kolbe Consultant, Christine M. Hollinden, CPSM, will present a case study about an actual team and how their natural instincts contributed to or detracted from their success.

At the end of this MAPCast, participants will be able to: identify the role of the four natural instincts; understand how their own natural instincts impact communication, decision-making, and interactions; learn to trust their instincts; and understand how individual instincts impact team dynamics.
