Competences Acquired by Participants
The majority of educators have realized that one universal strategy for effective communication and motivating others does not exist. Something that works perfectly on one person seems to have a poor effect on another one. Therefore it is essential to understand interpersonal differences and adjust our communication and motivational strategies to different “types” of people.
Specific objectives of the seminar are:
- Raise tolerance to human diversity
- Introduce and discuss 9 main sets of motivations, values and needs
- Enable participants to recognize their own type and be able to better utilize its strengths and deal with challenges
- Enhance the ability to communicate effectively with different types of people
- Enable participants to make optimal team decisions that enhance collaboration and ensure the best possible outcome
- Help the participants understand how different personality types react to stress
- Enhance understanding of the three intelligences – instinct, emotions and thinking
- Enable the participants to take to the next level understanding of the needs of their learners
- Enable the participants to help their learners to function at the highest level of their capacities
- Allow the participants to meet colleagues of different nationalities, exchange experiences and build a network

Thought provoking, very insightful, a very useful course! Maybe even life -changing as it has helped to change my outlook on some things.
Found a possible new approach to my students, new ways of knowledge transfer!
Nice course in alternative methods of resolving the situations around us, taking different personalities in account.
This is a great topic and this course should be done by most teachers and instructors!
