PDS offers team trainings designed to strengthen workplace dynamics and develop skills that drive success. Team trainings can address challenges and create opportunities for meaningful growth.
Crucial Teams
Crucial Teams is built on the Strength Deployment Inventory® (SDI)®, a workplace personality assessment that helps people better understand themselves and others for healthier relationships and more productive interactions. This course is designed for teams that work and collaborate closely with one another. Team members explore their own and each other's motives, unique strengths, and behaviors that can trigger conflict within the team.
Participants will experience improved self-awareness and understanding of their teammates, developing skills to better manage perceptions and behaviors for more effective collaboration. This fun and engaging team experience challenges perspectives to reveal new ways of seeing and responding to others, ultimately creating stronger working relationships and enhancing overall team productivity. The course provides practical tools that team members can immediately apply to their daily interactions.
Course Details
Teams should plan for this training to occur in person and last approximately 8 hours. Cost is $350 per participant for State of Iowa employees and $700 for non-state/non-participating entities.

The timing of the class was excellent, as our team was in the process of creating a mission statement. The discussion around vision statements was great for that!
