WORKSHOP
Another
morning, another traffic jam! The time and resource that is
wasted while you sit inching along in traffic is a concept
with which everyone is familiar. The positive benefits of
flowing traffic are felt by anyone who commutes to work or
travels along our roadways. Communication flow within your
organization can suffer from similar jams. Projects are slowed
because of poor communication, tensions rise between co-workers
like angry motorists. One way to get your communication moving
is to understand the signals that we as individuals
send and receive. That's the secret behind the
success of TRAFFIC.
We All Have a Dominant THINKING Style
How we send and receive information is very much based on how
we think. When you consider how complex we are, it doesn't take
much to realize why even the simplest communication can be misunderstood.
How you think affects how you do things. Understanding your
communication style helps you send and receive the messages
effectively.
Introducing TRAFFIC
TRAFFIC is an interactive half day workshop designed to help
people understand their own thinking and communication styles,
which in turn increases their appreciation for the communication
styles of others. The workshop in combination with the 20
minute on-line survey addresses and adds value to the skills
you use everyday when working with colleagues and managing relationships.
HOW HAS TRAFFIC HELPED PEOPLE?

people experience an increased client base and overall
business performance by up to 30% in the six months following

Have
you ever been in a meeting when you noticed the other person
looking at his/her watch?
Have
you ever tried to train someone and he/she just isn't getting
it?
Have
you ever asked a simple question and gotten frustrated with
an essay length response?
The TRAFFIC Philosophy is the Answer to
Win-Win Communication
Think about the chaos there would be if your community did not
have any traffic signals. We universally understand what we
are supposed to do when we get to a red light, a yellow light,
and a green light. Traffic signals transform chaos into flow.
People
and organizations also have different traffic patterns. It
is very important to remember that no one thinking style is
"better to have" than another. There are all three
within each of us. We just have a different preference
for using one or another.
Our
hope is that TRAFFIC™ will help you better understand
the communication flow around you. Communication is a two-way
street. By understanding TRAFFIC™ signals you can put
yourself in the driver's seat, thereby reducing conflict
and chaos and opening the route to the incredible flow
that happens when you interact positively with others who
think differently from you.
