We “VOWEL” to Make a Difference
We believe adult learnars embrace and adopt what they discover more so than what they are told. Sessions are assessment based, enlightening, interactive, outcomes focused and unity building. Maximizing Life uses Wiley DiSC Tools for assessments. Each DiSC tool begins with you gaining an understanding of your DiSC Style. Then it builds upon that to help you understand your behavioral priorities, the behavioral priorities of others, and how to adapt your behavior to maximize results through relationships. Unleashing the power of DiSC is far more than understanding your style/letter.
We "VOWEL" to Make a Difference
Our training focuses on the transformation rather than the transmission of information We firmly believe that learning should be active and that the best of andragogy needs to be reflected in the discovery process. We believe adult learners embrace and adopt what they discover moreso than what they are told. Our sessions focus on discovery because it becomes part of the person. Below is a summary of our training. We firmly believe that people must embody team values if they are going to effectively be team players.
Assessment Based: Our training is not based solely upon an author's theories but the participants' input. Participants take an assessment prior to training and then evaluate, learn, and make commitments based upon their data.
Enlightening: The assessments that we use will be enlightening to most participants. Our tools have been proven to be extremely accurate. We use empirically reliable tools instead of marketing savvy tools. The tools provide pages of information and comparative data so that they can see how their preferences and tendencies interact with others preferences and tendencies.
Interactive: Our sessions are interactive because we are using the input and feedback on the assessments as our curriculum. Our focus is not just to get people moving but to get the group to make progress while they are moving. Our sessions entail liberal amounts of time for questions, feedback, analysis and evaluation. We strive to move people toward the higher order thinking skills.
Outcomes based: We measure our success by the change in student performance, ability to relate to peers, supervisors, and work culture.
Unifying: It is difficult for teachers to focus on teaching when they are at odds with their peers. It is difficult for administrators to help students when relational and style differences take up time that should be devoted to student performance. Staff employees spend a great deal of their years together, they can tear down unnecessary barriers when they discover their preferences and tendencies and the strengths of others preferences and tendencies.
