Webinar Recap: Insights into Leadership and Teams Using the Discovery Model » MnTech

Now more than ever, it’s important to strengthen the interpersonal dynamics of your professional team. The best way to do that? By understanding how you communicate, how your team communicates and how you wish to communicate with each other.

In this recorded webinar, Discover Yourself CEO Scott Schwefel walks us through the Discovery Insights model and explains how to improve your interpersonal business relationships via a positive common language.

This presentation was recorded during a live webinar broadcast on May 5th, 2020. Prior to the recording, attendees took personal profile assessments which Scott frequently references and discusses. Using a live chat (not seen in the recording) attendees could ask questions and respond to Scott’s prompts.
