CliftonStrengths Assessments

At Front + Centre we use CliftonStrengths assessments, based on decades of research, that pinpoint your talents and how your particular combination – your “talent DNA”, can help you stand out in the world. The CliftonStrengths assessment reveals how you best think, feel and behave in the world.

Never fear  – we won’t leave you there solo, holding a report and wondering what your “Top 10” mean, and how you can start harnessing your strengths towards future goals. We support you every step of the way, through highly experienced Gallup-certified Strengths coaching and facilitated training sessions.

Our specialty is understanding your organisational vision and goals, and linking Strengths-based development to Executive leaders, people managers and associates. The results speak loudly – people who have an opportunity to use their strengths are:

  • 6 X as likely to be engaged in their jobs
  • 6 X as likely to strongly agree that they have the opportunity to do what they do best everyday
  • 3 X as likely to report having an excellent quality of life

Negotiation Skills

You don’t have to be a Jedi

Negotiation is more than a practical skill for sales professionals; it is a life skill that extends out of the workplace and into every realm of peoples’ lives.

Each Negotiation Skills Training program uses activity-based scenarios that creatively bring the art of negotiation to life.

The program will provide participants with solid negotiation techniques that can be applied to real workplace situations.

The Skills program covers:

  • Negotiation theory
  • Negotiation and needs
  • Rounds of negotiation
  • Negotiation essentials – climate, style and tactics

If you’re looking for a solid understanding of negotiation skills and persuasiveness training – then these are negotiation skills training courses that you can’t afford to miss.

Selling With Behavioural Styles

Everyone is not like you!

Dominance, Inducement, Submission, and Compliance (DISC) – at first glance may not be what you think!

DiSC is the world’s most validated behavioural management course that will not only help your sales staff and managers better understand your clients – it will also help them better understand themselves.

Used by sales training consultancies around the world, the DiSC model is about differences. It is about understanding, accepting, respecting and managing differences.

DiSC is also about motivation. Using a banana to entice a cat out of a cupboard will likely have no result. Similarly, giving sales managers training about what motivates different people will give them the tools to understand what motivates sales staff – other than monetary rewards.

Our expert behavioural profiling team can build a DiSC program around your people, your team and the environments in which they operate with a focus on:

  • Team effectiveness
  • Communication
  • Motivation
  • Management application – building and leading effective team
  • Leadership
  • Sales.

Each participant receives a full behavioural synopsis that outlines default behaviours, strengths and developmental areas.
