Teams are made up of diverse strengths, communication styles, and approaches to collaboration. When those differences are understood and leveraged, teams become more efficient, resilient, and high-performing. When they are misunderstood, teams experience conflict, frustration, and stalled progress.
The Mastering Team Dynamics workshop introduces participants to the BIRD Personality Assessment, which identifies four primary communication styles: Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl. Participants will explore their individual results, learn to recognize the styles in others, and practice strategies to strengthen communication, trust, and alignment across the team.
This workshop provides practical strategies to improve communication, resolve conflict, and elevate team performance by leveraging personality diversity—not overcoming it.
