Introduction

Outstanding personal and team performance are essential in today's dynamic, volatile and competitive global market. Never has the need been greater for individuals and teams to transition from ‘Good’ to ‘Great’. The key to creating such outstanding performance lies in each team member really understanding their own and others’ personality preferences, motivations and preferred communication styles and displaying a powerful outcome orientation, Strategic Flexibility, Personal Power and Emotional Intelligence (EI).

This training course addresses this need by using the next generation of professional development tools â€“ the Lumina Spark â€“ that supports individuals, teams and organisations to work more effectively and improve the bottom line. The comprehensive Lumina personality profile is based on (a) the four archetypal ‘colour energies’ of Cool Blue, Fiery Red, Sunshine Yellow and Earth Green, (b) the best of Dr. Carl Jung and the MBTI, (c) our Team roles/contributions and (d) the latest scientific research on the Big 5 personality model. Hence delegates benefit from four profiles combined into one: Colour Energies, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a Team Composition Portrait and a Big 5-based personality report. By applying the Lumina Spark model, delegates unlock their hidden strengths and multiple business benefits.

On this solid foundation the training course then covers powerful and exciting ways to enhance personal and team performance, job satisfaction, leading and coaching within the team and how to achieve continuous individual and team learning.

This training course will highlight for your staff:

• What kind of team they are part of, how they fit in and their own unique contribution
• Ways to communicate and influence effectively within their team
• Proven strategies to enhance their personal performance and job satisfaction

The training course will use a range of approaches to learning, including experiential group activities, individual exercises, mini-case studies, role plays and syndicate discussions. Graphical materials and stimulating explanations will be used to introduce underlying models. A key part of the learning process is sharing the different experiences participants bring, as well as experimenting with novel – and sometimes challenging – techniques. An internationally-developed personality questionnaire will be used to generate a personality profile that will contribute to them understanding their preferences, personal style, different personas they display and their unique contribution to the team.

Your organization will benefit from:

• Higher levels of team performance and commitment

They will also acquire methods to enter powerful and confident states at will and also ways to manage any potentially career-damaging negative emotional displays in the moment. These skills and insights can be used in many different areas of their professional and personal lives and will make them considerably more valuable in today’s highly competitive job market.

• Leaders, managers and team leaders/supervisors together with their teams. The training course would also benefit junior/middle managers new to their role, or with experience but little previous training.
