Summary of Program: Using the ThoughtPrint^® preference system (measured in a brief inventory at the beginning of the exercise), as a new tool for communicating, team members will identify team-building problems and strengths. Exploring why team-building presents genuine and legitimate difficulties, participants will learn to see negatives as positives and to amplify team talent. The ThoughtPrint^® technology will begin to solve identified problems immediately. ThoughtPrint^® assists participants to think in a new way, to change negatives to useful positive strategies, and to change "me-ism" to "we-ism" without individuals caving in to others. Action plans built upon strengths and strategies can end fighting in the workplace.
