2. Local or Regional Public Certification Workshop Deliveries

The LIFO Method is a means for understanding and working better with others. It helps people discover their strengths and how much/to what degree they use the four different behavioral styles basic to human interaction.

Attending a local/regional workshop is not only a great way to acquire this knowledge but also a great opportunity to network with peers. These regional deliveries are also one of the best ways to get certified, as well as connect with and learn directly from our experienced Master Trainers. These activities involve case study analysis, educational games and interactive exercises to enhance learning and deepen understanding. In this way participants acquire the necessary knowledge and practical experiences to deliver the LIFO Method, along with its programs competently to their organizations.

Workshop Outcomes:

  • Professional knowledge of the definitions and characteristics of the four behavioral orientations
  • Knowledge and ability to set up, administer, interpret and give feedback on profile results, regardless of role
  • A firm grasp of the six core LIFO strategies
  • Tactics to coach individuals in building development plans, based on their unique blend of behavioral styles
  • A comprehensive understanding of the history, science and psychology behind LIFO

3. Internal Certification Workshops for Organizations

As an internal coach or trainer your goal in a team is to maximize strengths, minimize “weaknesses” (for in LIFO weaknesses are really over/under-use of strengths) and uncovering blind spots to strengthen communication and productivity. By using the LIFO strategies and showing how they can be applied in a team setting and different situations back at the workplace, you will be able to achieve the above more easily and with less time.

The LIFO Method, with its wide variety of applications and proven track record with employee productivity, should be one of the key elements in your corporate training’s library and a part of your portfolio. Incorporating the LIFO Method into your corporate culture is simple and quite cost effective. Our global business partners are available to help you in customizing and personalizing the program to fit into your organization’s specific agendas.
