July Council Seminar Series event - So You Know Your Personality Style, Now What?
Research shows that employees put their best effort forward when they have an emotional connection to their work and environment.
Join us July 9
from 2-3 p.m. in the Gallery Room of the Memorial Union where Krisdeena Jansen, University Human Resources,
will
be discussing
the root cause of how employees motivate themselves to be their best
.
Once teams of employees complete a personality assessment such as DiSC or Real Colors, it is critical that participants understand how to apply the lessons learned.
"So You Know Your Personality Style, Now What?" will take a deep dive into some considerations as to why, regardless of individual style, people do or do not feel connected to their work and what leaders can do about it. This session will connect the awareness and understanding brought forward from attending personality assessment workshops in the past, and begin to apply the underlying reasons of how and why assessments can be a powerful tool in the workplace.
Prerequisite:
it is recommended that participants have a basic understanding of DiSC and Real Colors personality assessments prior to attending
. Please check
DiSC overview
and Real Colors overview before this event.
If you are unable to join us in person the session will be
livestreamed
and can be viewed online using guest access. Or, you can view the recorded session, which will be posted in Learn@ISU approximately one week after the live session.
