SUMMARY:A2Y DEI Series Session III: DISC Model of Human Behavior and Embracing Our Differences
DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to the DISC Personality Profile\n\nMaking Sense of Your People Puzzle\n\n \n\nPlease join us on December 10 for an interactive and engaging session with John Walker and Anita Bycraft-Walker\, VP of Operations and President of A Production Building Solutions.  They built a company that values excellence\, customer satisfaction\, and integrity.  Together\, they have created a workplace that fosters growth\, learning\, and mutual respect among team members.  Come listen to how this dynamic duo creates a safe and supportive work environment. \n\n\n\nAre you having trouble connecting with people you encounter everyday? \n\n\n\nIn this session you will garner a better understanding of your basic personality trait and that of your employees\, co-workers\, colleagues\, clients and family members.  This talk is an introduction to help you begin to understand how to connect with different people by understanding that all of us have our own unique personalities\, and how you talk\, think\, and process information is often not how other people you come in contact with\, process information.  John and Anita will explain how this information will help with hiring\, work team chemistry\, and often conflict resolution.  These tools can help develop a great team all moving in the same direction\, while having more fun as an organization.  \n\n\n\nThis session will cover the 4 basic personality types D-I-S-C and begin to explain how people communicate\, verbally and non verbally\, with people in their day to day lives.  Most of us focus on what makes us different\, but we are alike in so many ways.  The DISC assessments will help us to understand ourselves and each other\, and Embracing Our Differences\, a nonprofit organization that uses the power of art and education to open hearts and celebrate the diversity of the human family\, will be here\, as well\, to highlight how we can all embrace our differences\, in a positive way.  \n\n\n\n\n\n Presenters\n\n\n\nJohn Walker\n\nVice President of Operations\n\nAnita Bycraft-Walker\n\nPresident \n\nA Production Building Solutions \n\n\n\n \n\nThese sessions are an opportunity to learn from one another\, support one another\, and garner a better understanding and empathy for what others go through.  Attendees who bring an open mind\, and a genuine interest to learn about DEI issues to this event can develop a better awareness and understanding of where they and their organization are on the continuum\, and how to continue taking meaningful steps toward greater equity of opportunity\n\n\n\nWhether you\, or your organization\, are just getting started on your DEI journey\, or even if you have a good comprehension of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, this session is for you and anyone that wants to learn.  We welcome your participation and encourage you to ask questions and share your experiences during these open sessions.  \n\nPLEASE BE SURE TO REGISTER FOR THE OTHER 2 SESSIONS in the SERIES:\n\nSession I: Effective Engagement: A Look at Implicit Bias to Ignite Positive Conversations\n\nMonday\, January 13\, 1:00p - 4:00 pm\, WCC\n\nEsther Triggs\n\nDirector of Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion\, Interlochen Center for the Arts\n\n\n\nSession II: Boost Your Success with Emotional Intelligence! \n\nTuesday\, December 3\, 9:30 am - noon\, WCC\n\nKate Henson\n\nPresident\, ALI Collaborative\n\n \n\n.  \n\n\n\n#DEIA2Y\n\n \n\n_______________________________________________________\n\nA2Y Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion Series is a collaboration between the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Regional Chamber and Destination Ann Arbor\, supported by the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation.\n\n \n\n \n\nGold Sponsor              \n\n\n\n     \n\n \n\nCommunity Sponsors:\n\n                                    \n\n\n\nEvent Sponsors\n\nOld National Bank\n\n\n\nProud Supporter\n\n\n\n \n\n_______________________________\n\nThe A2Y DEI Series is an educational series intended to provide information\, access to resources\, connectivity\, and provide a safe space to have meaningful conversation\, in order to invoke positive change.
