Respecting Differences.
Who should attend this Power of WE workshop?
The Respecting Differences workshop is meant for intact teams that:
Noticing and valuing differences
Harness the positive impact of diversity:
Studies from Columbia, MIT and other universities have demonstrated how diversity leads to more ideas, less overconfidence and better outcomes. Still, team members sometimes see their differences as limitations rather than building blocks to support successful relationships. Our two-hour workshop can help people to recognize where differences come from and understand that areas of divergence are actually a source of strength.
Workshop Results:
After the workshop, participants will have a new perspective on the differences that exist within their team. They will:
-
-
Recognize that differences can be a source of strength
-
Observe differences with curiosity rather than judgment
-
Appreciate, adapt to and utilize teammates’ differences
-
Activities:
Our workshops are dynamic and interactive, encouraging experiential learning in addition to lecture. The activities teams will engage in include:
- Warm Up Activity – Participants describe themselves and notice similarities and differences within the group
- Attributes Attend a Meeting – Participants notice differences, highlight positive intent and identify possible misinterpretation of the actions of each Emergenetics Attribute
- Dot Graph Reflection – Participants see their team’s average Emergenetics preferences and identify their own areas of alignment and divergence
- Symbiotic Relationship Partner Reflection – By reflecting on a recent meeting, team members identify symbiotic relationships within their team
- Reframing Differences – Participants consider how differences strengthen their team
