SDI Workshops

In addition to getting SDI certified, we offer the SDI teachings as purpose-built programs designed to help you resolve a particular interpersonal issue. These customised, one day workshops use the concepts of Relationship Awareness® and Strength Development Inventory as the foundation for developing effective relating skills.

Our specialist interpersonal facilitators offer a range Relationship Effectiveness topics including:

• "Effective Team Relationships"
• "Working Relationships that Work"
• "Conflict Management Skills for Managers"
• "Using Relationship Intelligence with your Customers"
• "Building Better Relationships in Projects"
• "Enhancing Communication with Virtual Teams"
• "Prime Team workshop"
• "Crikey, it’s Conflict!"

All workshops combine written exercises, problem solving, group discussions and individual activities.  Participants progress logically from setting personal learning goals, to exploring Relationship Awareness® theory, to completing an SDI or one of our other self awareness inventories. This learning addresses attitudinal change, a critical factor for long-term behaviour change. The above examples are just that, examples!

Of course, every situation has its own unique attributes! The beauty of using SDI is that its flexibility means that we can create a customised one-day workshop to address any unique problem you’re encountering.

If you have a relational issue that you need resolved in your business then a customised, SDI based workshop is the answer you’re looking for. Contact us today about your specific requirements.

SDI In-House Certification Courses

The benefits of SDI can be gained by anyone in any organisation, but only with an in-house SDI Certification course customised to your business do you gain the added bonus of having the learning specifically tailored to your business values, mission and goals.

In-house SDI Certification provides excellent economies of scale when deploying the teachings of SDI to the organisation:

• More SDI Facilitators with knowledge customised to your business allows faster implementation of the SDI benefits across your organisation.

In addition to the tangible benefits, having an SDI Certified team means you can bounce facilitation ideas off each other, share and learn from your different experiences and in true SDI fashion, utilise individual’s strengths to better facilitate SDI in your organisation, tailored for different business units (manufacturing, sales, management, etc).
