The Who We Are Counts Institute ® was created to develop and deliver customized training programs based on the Who We Are Counts ® principles for presentation to different groups.
Who We Are Counts ® produces unique training and development programs which create an environment where human relations are strengthened through understanding, acceptance, and appreciation of Who We Are.
By identifying the personality styles of the participants, we are able to help people understand who they and others are, as human beings. Knowledge of that information allows them to be more productive in both their personal and professional lives.
The overall objectives of the Who We Are Counts® program are:
To develop a better understanding and appreciation of Who We Are as human beings
To learn how Who We Are impacts how we give and receive communication as well as how we function
To gain a better understanding of how Who We Are influences our value system
To learn how to identify Who We Are and apply this knowledge to build more productive relationships
Adult Learning
Many of the techniques we use at The Who We Are Counts® Institute, LLC for our programs aimed at adult learners are based on the concept of “andragogy” which was popularized by Malcolm Knowles (1913-1997) who is often referred to as “the Father of Adult Learning.” Knowles’ theory of Andragogy is an attempt to develop a theory of learning specifically targeted at adult learners. He emphasized that adults are both self-directed and expect to make their own decisions. Adult learning programs must take these factors into consideration.
The Role of Assessment in Building a World Class Team
There are a number of factors that contribute to building a winning team. A winning team is one which is able to create a motivational environment in which each member of the team is free to utilize all their skills and experience to contribute to the goals and objectives of the team. For those of us lucky enough to have been members of a winning team at some time in our careers, you can feel it when it happens.
All winning teams have a coach that provides the overall strategy and selects from the team members those specific skills and behavior traits that are needed at each point through the project to meet the goals of the team.
To take the sports example one more step, a wining team also has team members that have been recruited and selected to be part of the team that have the skills and behavioral traits that can be combined to meet the needs of a winning team. The success of any team in the long run is due in great part to the success of their recruiting program.
