The Solutions Group had a wonderful opportunity to provide training to the Osceola/South Mississippi County Chamber of Commerce's 2016-2017 Leadership Academy. The purpose of the Leadership Academy is to seek, identify, educate, and motivate potential leaders to become involved in the future of their community. The participants went through a variety of training some of which provided by The Solutions Group.
Jamie Frakes, long term adjunct instructor for The Solutions Group, provided several training sessions in the following areas:
Spectrum Development -is a model for understanding yourself and others based on your personality temperament. Identifying your personality and the personalities of others using Spectrum provides you with insights into different motivations, actions and communication approaches. Being able to recognize your Spectrum and the Spectrum of others improves the overall effectiveness and efficiency of your team by revealing the motivation behind behaviors and directing the focus and energy of team members on your mission instead of organizational conflicts, territorialism or personality conflicts.
Conflict Management - Negotiation and conflict resolution for daily and life working with people. This session taught participants how to manage emotions during a conflict while working collaboratively toward a win/win resolution. Group activities and role playing scenarios such as "Taxi Cab" helped the participants learn how to give feedback without emotions.
Dr. Shemwell, President of Arkansas Northeastern College, addressed the art of Public Speaking.
