Testimonials

The testimonials below are anonymous quotes from participants following a PivotPlus workshop.

"This situation would normally be one I would avoid at all costs and try to hide in the background. Instead after attending the workshop I conducted a quick ABC and decided to take control."

"By focusing on reducing negative or defensive attitudes, and recognising the need to satisfy the relative positions involved, I was able to make positive progress on the project."

"I used the two key learning's in EI - Reading the emotions of others - displaying empathy - and teaming up with others. The two EI key learning's made my job much easier in getting the team on board to re-organise the team and get their commitment."

"Since the training I've committed myself to meeting and discussing relevant issues with the staff members that report to me on a more routine basis. The outcome from this has been positive, as people have been discussing their frustrations. It has also given me the opportunity to address any issues that need to be discussed. Reduced avoidance behaviour has resulted."

"The course was very beneficial to me as it was timely and allowed me to reflect on how other people behave, especially in relationship to the power of optimism. I took into account that people want reassurance and need information when presented with major change."

"A couple of points from the Attitude & Action for Team improvement workshop have helped. Doing the hard stuff first rather than procrastinating is helping to achieve the set timelines. An insight into my DISC profile has helped me see things about myself which I can improve on (eg don't over analyse, don't put off making decisions while waiting for all the data, improving communication by modifying style to suit the person). Resilient thinking when the going gets tough."

"I learned to control anger better, and not becoming defensive compared to before. I need to work at reminding myself when somebody is blaming me for a bad event, it is not necessarily my failure which then leads to more positive thinking and allows me to improve my ability to resolves issues objectively."

"Prior to attempting this course of action had a feeling of mounting pressure of expectations because of the number of urgent things being required to be done. Now setting myself timelines to work on and achieve pressing needs. I am also handing off work which can be done by others freeing me up to complete other required work."

"Now feel less pressure though still some with pressing work and feel that I am getting work out quicker than previously."
