Manage Conflict Better and Improve Relationships
in Workshop Coming to Carlsbad

Carlsbad, CA — February 22, 2006 – Wouldn’t it be great if the people in your life came with an instruction manual? Imagine how much stronger your relationships would be if you really understood what made people tick. Personal Strengths, a global training and personal development company, is presenting a workshop that gives you ways to understand what drives you and what drives others — an understanding that empowers you to communicate in a way that achieves the results you desire.

The two-day experiential course is being conducted in Carlsbad on March 20 & 21. The workshop features the SDI® (Strength Deployment Inventory®) — a proven, memorable tool for enhancing your ability to communicate more effectively and handle conflict more productively. It looks beyond behavior to recognize the motivation behind it — revealing why individuals act the way they do. The awareness of self and others gained from the SDI helps people to improve all types of relationships — be they at home, work, school, social or otherwise.

“The SDI is easy to relate to and uses concepts that ‘stick’ better… it’s a powerful tool for promoting understanding and teamwork in our organization.”
Steve Blankenship — Director, Learning & Development, Time Warner Cable

As a result of attending, participants will gain:

• a practical way to make business & personal relationships more productive.
• an easy way to recognize and manage conflict while turning it into a positive force for change.
• a memorable way to discover your own relating style and potential sources of conflict for yourself and others.
• a proven way to look beyond other people’s “behavior” to recognize and understand the motivation behind it.
• The ability to administer and interpret the results of the SDI
