Brain Dominance and Teams Teams are often formed when we need a number of people to come together because of the different knowledge and skills they each have.Some of the best examples of teams come from popular television shows such as Scrapheap Challenge, The Great Egg Race or The A-Team. Each of these shows are interesting because people with radically different knowledge, skills and abilities work together to achieve a common goal. The same thing happens with teams in our home or work life, but in these cases we rarely take the time to really get to know one another properly before we set out on whatever task we are working on.

The benefit of running a MyBrain workshop with a team is that it is a very quick and cost-effective way of getting to know one another better and improving team performance. A team workshop will take a half to a full day depending on your specific requirements and would cover the following subject areas:

• Introduction to the human brain – In the introductory session we would explain the way in which the human brain develops and use some interesting props and exercises to demonstrate the ways in which out brains ‘trick’ us into perceiving the world in particular ways.
• Your brain – In the second module, individuals will be introduced to the Herrmann Brain Dominance instrument before being given their personal feedback. The feedback will be based on the answers they gave to the on-line questionnaire which they will be asked to complete well in advance of the workshop.
• Recognising other people – By this stage people will have sufficient knowledge to be able to recognise some of the tell-tale signs that will enable them to guess the Brain Dominance of other people. Learning to do this can help people become more effective in areas such as selling, persuading, communicating and negotiating.
• The team profile – Looking at group data can often reveal a great deal about the team. It can highlight unknown strengths, likely areas of conflict, ‘blind spots’ and much more.

Workshops are highly interactive and include exercises and short games that reinforce people’s understanding of the subject and make the session extremely enjoyable.
