At MSBCoach we solve problems. By using the most effective tools available we are able to provide organizations with the tools to reach their company goals.

DISC Personality Profiles
Discovering and fulfilling your purpose involves understanding yourself and others. Learning to relate to others properly is key. By understanding why we do what we do, we can improve our effectiveness at work, quality of life and relationships.

Strength-based Leadership and Teams

Often as leaders we focus upon improving ourselves and those we lead in areas of weakness rather than in the area of improving to excellence what we are already good at and do naturally. Although casting a critical eye on our weaknesses and working hard to manage them will help prevent failure, it will not help us reach excellence. In this workshop you will discover your own strengths and how lead and empower your team in their strengths.

Emergenetics is a self-descriptive test — You answer a series of questions about yourself, your responses are scored and the results are compared with a group norm. Whether you are teaching, training, hiring, leading, or interacting with your team, Emergenetics methods facilitate communication and promote greater job and personal effectiveness. It is unlike any profile or assessment process with which you may be familiar.

DISC Personality Profiles
Being an effective leader and team member involves understanding yourself and others. Learning your personality style and other personality styles will help you be more successful in work and personal relationships. Over 70% of career failure is due to an inability to get along with and relate to others, not the technical skills, as one may think. They are misunderstandings of how people think, feel, and act.

In this workshop you will discover and understand different types of personalities according to DISC. By identifying personalities, we can live and work more effectively with others. Learning how to recognize individual drives can be enlightening so enjoy the process!

DISC is an acronym for:
Dominance
Influence
Steadiness
Conscientiousness

The DISC profile consists of a series of words where you choose the words most like you and the words least like you to get results in two areas, the first being “This is what is expected of me” and the second being “This is me.” DISC is available in several different versions for leaders, teams and wellness.

Emotional Intelligence
Logical intelligence will set leaders and team members up for one level of success in their job. But to move to higher levels of effectiveness you must also develop your emotional intelligence (EQ). When you combine both intelligences together, you will understand yourself better, get along better with colleagues and lead more powerful and successful organizations. In this session, you will learn how to identify and handle your emotions as well as gear them towards a positive outcome. You will learn how to respond proactively, communicate more effectively, build stronger relationships and inspire others to do the same.

The EQ survey helps to identify strengths and opportunities for growth in the following areas:

• Self-awareness
• Self-management
• Social awareness
• Relationship management

The profile consists of a series of questions in each category and takes about 15 minutes to complete.

Building a Functional Team Assessment
This assessment is a tool from the Five Dysfunctions of a Team and is geared to provide you with a sense of your team’s unique strengths and areas for improvement. For the most accurate and holistic analysis, we encourage your entire team to complete the Assessment. While the assessment itself provides an interesting perspective, its most important aspect is the discussion and training from the “Building a High Performing Team” series MSBCoach offers.

Authentic Leadership Profile and Assessment

Strength Based Leadership Assessments
The question leaders should ask themselves and their team members is, “Do you have the opportunity to do what you do best every day?” Chances are, the answer is “no”. Too often natural talents go untapped in the workplace and we devote way too much time to fixing our shortcomings rather than developing strengths. This survey was developed by Gallup to help leaders and their teams understand and value the strengths they bring to the table. When you combine the Strength Based Leadership and Team training with the survey, we are able to begin to create a Strength Based organization where people thrive in what they do and love to come to work. Through the assessment each person will learn their top five strengths.

Contingent Leadership Profile
 Leadership requires different styles in different situations. The Contingent Leadership Profile tool helps leaders to process through work simulations that involve leaders, peers and direct reports. The individual taking the profile assumes they are they leader and answers the questions based on the situation and what they view as the best response. Once scored this allows the leader to have an understanding of their default leadership style. Through the training on Contingent Leadership leaders learn they need to be more aware of the person, the situation, the time and the place in order to engage in the most effective leadership style for the success of the person and the team.

MBTI
The key to successful leadership and strong teams is communication. The MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) is a tool that can be used to achieve effective and productive communication. People receive, process, and act upon information differently. If you understand their preferences and then communicate in a way that they understand, chances are you will not only get what you expected, but those with whom you communicate will feel good about how they received and acted on your communication. Here is how MBTI benefits leaders:

• Provides insights into the best way to coach employees
• Builds a management framework that affirms differences and allows for them
• Identifies the rewards and motivators for individuals based on their preferences and not rules and regulations
• Explains how different preferences approach goal setting, problem solving and decision making
• Maximizes a team’s diversity in order to reach more useful and insightful conclusions

FIRO-B
The Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-Behavior (FIRO-B) is a highly valid and reliable tool that assesses how an individual’s personal needs affect that person’s behavior towards other individuals. Leaders can use the FIRO-B to:

• Maximize the impact of your actions at work
• Identify options for increasing your job satisfaction and productivity
• Explore alternative ways to achieve your career goals
• Improve team effectiveness and explain team roles
• Identify leadership operating styles
