Your Communication and Leadership Style: How to Remember It, Rely on It, and Use It

Presented by Michael Chad Hoeppner

Many leaders and lawyers have a basic awareness of their leadership style, whether from direct feedback, gut instinct, performance reviews, or an assessment like Myers-Briggs, but does this awareness translate into behavior? In this webinar, Michael Chad Hoeppner, president of GK Training and Trusted Advisor to the PDC, will lead attendees through the proprietary GK leadership style test. This assessment (like many other personality style tests, such as DiSC assessment, Myers-Briggs, etc.) is based on Jungian archetypes, but GK clients respond to this one for two reasons: it's fun and memorable. In less than 10 minutes participants discover their dominant style and map it to one of four addictively fun character types - wizard, warrior, seer, or alchemist. Awareness of style only goes so far. Using GK's trademark kinesthetic learning tools, this webinar will help attendees map their personality style to specific kinesthetic learning tools that can reinforce their strengths and improve their weaknesses. Pen or pencil is required for this webinar.

We will no longer be doing a live session. This webinar will be pre-recorded and distributed once we recieve the recording. We appologize for this inconvenience.
