The Core Competency Styles® Workshops

Click here to schedule a "Working in Groups: The GPS Profile" workshop  
 


Why have workshops?

Each of the 4 core Competency Styles™ workbooks is supported by a workshop. The workshops deepen attendees’ understanding of their personal results. They move individuals from words on paper to pragmatic insight and experience of behavior. They allow attendees to put what they have learned into practice. Participants experience the behaviors of other people with the same and different behavior patterns in real time. This helps each person transform personal insight into on-the-job behaviors. It will also deepen their team work and group effectiveness. The workshops are an excellent way to build teams.

 
 
A Typical Workshop Outline   Workshops Increase the Power of Competency Styles® for Organizations

Time Activity
First 15 minutes Start up, facilitation and participant introductions, orientation
First hour Review of personal results - increasing individual comprehension
Second and third hours Working with individuals who are like me - understanding my own behavior patterns and the best way of working with someone who is like me

Working with individuals who are different from me - understanding others' behavior patterns and the best way of working with them
Closure Wrap-up - contracting for back on-the-job personal behavior change
 

There are 4 workshops, one for each of the 4 competency areas. Each workshop is 3.5 hours in length. Each workshop can accommodate up to 16 individuals. Half day workshops can be combined so that individuals attend for 1, 1.5 or 2 days. Any combination is possible.

Each half day workshop is $125 US or $150 Canadian per attendee, with a minimum fee of $1250 US or $1500 Canadian, (equivalent to 10 attendees). The required workbooks and course materials are included.

Workshops are delivered on client premises. If room rental is required, it is billed at cost.

If workshop leaders travel beyond 200 miles (335 kilometers) to and from their offices, travel expenses are billed at cost.

Can we deliver the Workshops ourselves?

The Competency Styles® workbooks were designed to be used independently by motivated adults as a self development tool. Therefore, they make an excellent addition to education courses, professional development training programs and coaching activities for working professionals.

WCI Press supports individuals who want to use the Competency Styles® workbooks in their client programs. We know that the individuals who deliver these programs can make a substantial contribution to the richness of the workbook experience for the participants. Click here to see examples of how you can use the workbooks in your client programs.

Individuals who choose to incorporate the workbooks in their programs normally will have credentials and experience as an adult educator, an HR professional, an individual or family counselor, a professional development trainer, a group process facilitator, or an executive coach.

If you are thinking of incorporating one or more of the workbooks in a program you deliver, we suggests that you do the following:

  1. Work through the relevant workbook yourself.
  2. Contact us to see if the Workshop Facilitator's Kit (Microsoft Powerpoint slides, Group Profile charts ... ... ) are useful to you.

Please communicate with us. We like to know how you are planning to use Competency Styles® workbooks. We will make the relevant Workshop Facilitator's Kit available to you. Since this is a special order item, you can only get one by contacting WCI Press. Click here if you want to order facilitator kits or facilitator supplies.

 


Will you train individuals in our organization to deliver the Competency Styles® Workshops?

WCI Press maintains relationships with experienced Competency Styles™ workshop leaders. These individuals will deliver a training-for-trainers program. The participants in these "training for trainer" programs normally have credentials and experience as adult educators, HR professionals, individual or family counselors, professional development trainers, group process facilitators, or executive coaches. They already have the interpersonal, the training, stand up presentation and the workshop management skills needed to work effectively with adults in a work shop setting.

We will develop a customized program for organizations, or a number of collaborating organizations, who want to deliver a Competency Styles® program to a larger number of their working professionals. WCI Press will:

  • help to make the initial connection with an experienced Competency Styles®workshop leader who will act as a coach/ trainer for your facilitators,
  • customize the workbooks and the Workshop Facilitator's Kits to include direct references to your organization's environment if you want to do so.

    Please contact us to discuss the possibilities.
