Succeeding in Spite of Differences

Cy’s engaging, humorous delivery outlines the various ways people process information and approach life.  She allows participants to laugh at their own narrow mindedness, while gaining respect for the diversity of their team.

Participants are led through a brief assessment process to help them identify their own personality “color” – blue, green, gold or orange.  The assessment is followed by a look at the characteristics of the various colors.  Throughout the process, participants gain awareness that there exists legitimate ways in which others’ thought processes are different from their own.

Leveraging diversity in the workplace is the key to overcoming today’s most challenging issues – from a lack of resources to gaining a competitive advantage.  In order for a team to truly excel, Cy puts a great emphasis on the necessity for all four types of personalities to be represented on the team.  The key to successful teamwork is to forgive others for their legitimate differences, find ways to adapt to each other’s preferences, and utilize the talents of each team member for greater efficiency and satisfaction in the workplace.

Participants have evaluated this particular keynote as the single most impactful training they have ever experienced.  Months and years later, participants are still talking about and applying the information delivered in this presentation.
