Stress Management: A Holistic Approach: A 3-hour workshop which helps participants develop a global, more objective look at their lifestyle and the effects of stress. Highly experiential, participants explore the meaning and sources of stress in their lives using several assessment tools. A model for identifying "balance" in their life is utilized to move participants into an Action-Planning phase.
Personal Goal Setting: A 3-hour workshop which helps participants identify how to set goals, prioritize and manage their time to better meet personal and professional goals.
Assessment tools are used to assess each participant's ability to set and meet goals, prioritize effectively and achieve "balance" in their life. Basic effective time management and planning techniques are also explored through activities, exercises and "take-away" worksheets.
Basics of Team Development: A 1 day awareness workshop which covers the basic components of developing and establishing a team.

A special emphasis is placed on the specific training and development required at each stage of development. Session includes discussions, exercises and team / self assessments.

Participants learn the history and research background of the MBTI instrument and how it is constructed. Based on the completion of the MBTI questionnaire (sent out as "pre-work"), each participant receives their own report and interpretation of their MBTI results. In the full day session, additional activities focus on identifying the different styles of communi-cation represented by the various types, and methods for enhancing communication, inter- action and problem-solving efforts.

Teams then review the overall team results, team type and engage in activities designed to highlight the implications of their overall team "mix" of MBTI profiles. The focus is on the team's ability to effectively communicate, problem-solve, resolve conflict and make decisions given their particular MBTI team type. Final activities focus on Action Planning.
