"Working in Groups: The GPS Profile" Workshops
For information on the workshops for the 4 Core Competency Styles™ workbooks, click here  
 


The Individuals who participate in this workshop will gain insight into their own team or group participation style, as well as that of the other participants. If they work with these individuals, they will be able to directly transfer the results back to their day to day work together. If they do not, they will be able to use their insights into the group participation styles of the other attendees as a guide for understanding the group participation styles of their actual work mates.

GPS Profile workshops last a full day. Each workshop can accommodate up to 12 individuals, and must have at least 6 to be truly effective.

Each GPS Profile workshop is $3000 US or $3300 Canadian. The required workbooks and course materials are included.

Workshops are delivered on client premises. If room rental is required, it is billed at cost.

If workshop leaders travel beyond 200 miles (335 kilometers) to and from their offices, travel expenses are billed at cost.

Please contact us to make arrangements.

Can we deliver the GPS Profile workshop ourselves?

The four core Competency Styles™ workshops are explicitly designed to be deliverable by a wide variety of adult and personal development professionals. Unlike them, effective delivery of GPS Profile workshops requires sound senior level group facilitation and adult development skills. WCI Press will work with your inside facilitators or trainers to help them prepare for the delivery of these workshops, provided we have an opportunity to assure ourselves that your individuals posses the required level of skill in these areas.

Please contact us for dialogue if this is what your organization wants to do.
