TDf & Talents

We’ve got a different perspective on personal and professional development. While organizations traditionally select for, hire and evaluate an employee based on his or her skills, a key piece is often overlooked – talent. We believe people excel best in roles where their natural talents are fully leveraged. Our program “Lead With Your Strengths: TDƒ & Your Talents” enables employees (and their employers) to tap this reservoir of performance potential. Using our proprietary perceptual styles tool - TDƒ, workshop participants understand their own strengths and limits, and are provided a framework for understanding the strengths and limits of others.

The specific outcomes of the program include:

  • Understanding the importance of focusing on talents and strengths in planning personal development
  • Learning and identifying the TDƒ Organizational Talents that are the participant’s greatest strengths
  • Recognizing the vulnerabilities that participants need to manage
  • Creating a personal development plan that better uses talents and manages vulnerabilities

What are the Benefits?

  • Participants understand how best to contribute to the organization
  • Employees reach goals more quickly
  • Productivity improves
  • Team performance increases
  • Awareness of personal strengths and limits

How do we work?

Participant completes a 20-minute TDƒ personal inventory. This workshop reviews TDƒ Theory, and then introduces our unique talent-based development process. Participants work in small groups and partner to conduct structured behavior-based interviews around the twelve TDƒ organizational talents.

What happens after our workshop?

Growth & Development Continue.

Participants leave our workshops better prepared to increase personal effectiveness. This occurs due to:

  • Personal development plans designed to maximize natural talents and mitigate personal vulnerabilities. Development plans are constructed using specific, measurable and quantifiable goals.

For decades TDƒ International has made a difference in corporations large and small.

TDƒ is a simple to understand, yet powerful perceptual styles tool that stays with participants long after their workshop experience. Compared to other tools in the market, TDƒ is unmatched in its richness, content and application.
