Alan Krieger
Alan Krieger is a highly skilled leadership trainer and executive coach with over 30 years’ experience strengthening communication, collaboration, and leadership performance within teams and organizations. He has worked with businesses, government agencies, and nonprofits, equipping leaders with essential people skills that drive success.
As the creator of the T.E.A.M. Communication Styles®, Alan developed this powerful tool to demonstrate that there is no single “right” way to communicate, lead, or train. T.E.A.M. helps individuals recognize how their communication style may clash with others—and how to adjust for best results.
Over the past 20 years, Alan has used T.E.A.M. to train more than 5,000 leaders and team members, empowering them with practical, actionable strategies for workplace success. With a Master’s in Management and 40+ training programs designed, he is now bringing T.E.A.M. to trainers, coaches, and organizations looking to elevate their impact and effectiveness.
Session Description:
Communication Styles: What Are They and How Do They
Contribute to Workplace Success?
T.E.A.M. Communication Styles® is a model that helps illuminate different ways people prefer to communicate and how these differences, if not attended to, can lead to confusion and conflict. The strength of T.E.A.M. is that it is a simple yet powerful model.
It is based on only four styles and how this combination allows for a wide range of differences, while keeping it conceptually simple. The assessment mirrors this by only having 12 questions.
By understanding these differences, people come to see how they may be misinterpreting the actions and communication of others. In addition, they see how their actions and communication may be confusing or irritating to others. When we each speak from our own context, we often miss connecting with others who have different preferences.
The key to this program’s success is that it moves beyond awareness and understanding. It focuses on what people can do with this knowledge to be more effective in the workplace. The program reviews practical steps that build strong work relationships with colleagues, direct reports, supervisors, and/or customers. Beyond this, it helps trainers understand their client's communication styles and then use this information to help them teach.
Attendees will be able to:
- Learn a new way that actions and communication can be easily misinterpreted
- Develop a framework to more accurately understand people’s intentions
- Understand how their actions and communication can be unintentionally irritating or confusing to others
- Develop strategies to be more effective communicators and collaborators
