LIFO: IN-PERSON TRAINING

LIFO – Life Orientations describes the way each of us lives our lives to achieve our goals and how our game plans work or don’t work for us. It tells us where we are going wrong and offers workable suggestions on how to put it right. LIFO is a facilitator of personal exploration rather than a cold diagnostic tool. The survey utilized has no right or wrong answers; it is just recognition of why people approach tasks and people in different ways. The results are only the beginning – not the end of the process for both individuals and teams. In this day and a half session, you and your team will:

  • Learn, acknowledge and celebrate how each individual acts, works, and reacts.
  • Each identifies our strengths in relation to when things are going well and when we are faced with opposition or stress.
  • Understand when we are overdoing our strengths causing us to not get the results envisioned.
  • Get insight and understanding into what makes individuals tick, thereby improving communication and motivation.
  • And much more.
Fee: $1,000 plus travel and materials per day
