SUMMARY:Uncovering New Revenue: Benefits of Horizontal Analysis of Financial Statements

SUMMARY:Personality Dimensions
DESCRIPTION:Personality Dimensions \nNovember 21\, 2019 – 9:00 AM-12:00 PM \nEveryone is different\, we come in all varieties. Understanding our own and others’ values\, strengths\, joys and stressors provides a great foundation for communication. Knowing the obvious—and not so obvious—ways we are different assures us that we are okay in our own uniqueness and that we aren’t alone in some of our habits. \nPersonality Dimensions® translates complex personality theory into everyday language. It creates a framework for understanding – not a pigeonhole. You will recognize temperament patterns that you are comfortable with and of the people that you know. But it is not about putting people into a box. Identifying differences and similarities through Personality Dimensions® doesn’t determine our behaviour – we make those choices. \nDrawing on the results of current validation studies that includes participants from across Canada and years of observation of interpersonal preferences demonstrated in learning sessions\, Personality Dimensions® fosters increased self-knowledge through a facilitated self-discovery model that will make a lasting positive impact. \nTo Register\, please click here
