This is an excellent package to start to really learn about others in the workplace so that you can uncover, recognize and support their needs, use people in the most appropriate roles and help them to challenge themselves in the future.  Many psychometric tests are available to raise awareness of individual differences. However, being aware of preferences is not enough. Awareness has to translate into behavioral change if relationships and results are to improve. In most cases, this requires active practice and reflection, individually or in groups. This package was designed to help learners to hear, see and value different preferences and then use specific activities to develop the associated workplace skills.

The 5 x activities included in this package are listed below:

1. Character Cards - part of the Working with Conflict Workshop
   Recognizing how different learning and thinking preferences play out in the workplace. Learners work with the four character sketches of people they may encounter on any working day.
   Each participant explores their own responses to them by answering a range of supplied questions, before coming together to compare and contrast how each character might provoke a different response, and what might be done to mitigate any challenges or potential conflicts with these characters.
2. Hollow Square - part of the Learning Squared product
   In the activity, one team acts as a planning team and one as an operational team.
   The task is a representation of the relationship between supervisors and their teams. It highlights the importance of involving operational staff in developing plans that they will be required to implement, clarifying instructions and checking understanding throughout the delegation process.
3. Colourblind®
   The Colourblind® activity is a communication exercise which develops team building skills and helps teams recognize problems caused with imprecise communication and language. This communications exercise provides a challenging activity to all levels of leaders, and typically becomes more challenging as the seniority of the group increases, where the ability to really listen and not just 'wait to speak' is often demonstrated.
   The focus of the debrief is to understand more about personal constructs and values and how they differ, even in apparently homogenous groups.
4. Innovation Images and Mystery Object - part of the Breakthrough Thinking Workshop
   These activities encourage and develop big picture thinking, imaginative and creative responses, risk taking, pattern recognition and the exploration of new possibilities. 
5. Webmaster®
   This a ctivity challenges teams to solve the initial complex challenge, then rapidly improve their performance by demonstrating strong collaboration amongst team members, effective communication, planning processes and time management skills.
   Webmaster® is a versatile activity which focuses on evaluation of options, selection of an appropriate strategy, management of time and people, monitoring of progress and ongoing process improvement.
