Reduce team conflict and misunderstandings...combine cooking with SDI

It can often be the little things that inhibit team performance. If you can get rid of  interpersonal clashes, your  team can move towards high performance. We can help your team, in a fun, engaging and non-threatening (but straight-talking) way. 

We integrate our fantastic team cooking programmes with an excellent learning diagnostic, Strengths Deployment Inventory (SDI). We will help your team understand what motivates their behaviour and what causes conflict and misunderstanding. The result is a far better understand of each other and reduction of  unnecessary conflict, allowing improved performance. 

We are qualified, certified practitioners of the SDI and have been using it with teams, managers and leaders very successfully.  

We like SDI because it helps individual team members gain personal understanding and awareness of their OWN motivations towards certain behaviours, It identifies how this behaviour may be (mis) perceived by others in the team. It focusses on supporting individuals to see things from their team members' perspectives, to better understand where they are coming from, and to modify their responses accordingly. 

It is part of the human condition to attribute motive to others' behaviour. SDI (and its underlying Relationship Awareness Theory) helps us  to effectively and accurately understand and infer the motive behind the behaviour. It gives organizations and individuals the awareness and skills they need to build more effective personal and professional relationships. It helps us to sustain relationships through understanding the underlying Motivational Value Systems™ of themselves and others under two conditions:

1.       When things are going well
2.       During conflict

The theory helps people to recognize that they can choose their behaviours to accommodate their underlying values, while also taking into account the values of others. It is a dynamic and powerful way of looking at human relationships that aids in building communication, trust, empathy, and effective, productive relationships. 

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. (Carl Jung)

Many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our point of view. (Obi-Wan Kenobi)

The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people (Theodore Roosevelt)
