Often the most important benefits sit with understanding themselves – maybe for the first time. By asking the question Why Are You Like That? the ‘light bulb moments happen when suddenly learners realize something about themselves or have a good idea about how to resolve a conflict that has been bothering them.
A powerful realisation happens when they understand why they rub someone up the wrong way, or why someone in the team finds their communication style frustrating, overpowering or too picky. The process of unpicking this in the context of a facilitated workshop where a key message is strength lies in valuing differences provides an experience, a tool, an approach and a strategy for understanding self and how to get the most from colleagues in the context of a team.
“TetraMap validates people, it enhances their self-esteem and most importantly, allows for difference to be seen as a team strength.”
Many workshop participants are keen to share lightbulb moments when they get home. They want to use their knowledge and newfound skills to improve relationships outside of work. How can I share this at home? is a question asked at almost every workshop! The learner then becomes the teacher – and reinforces the value of what they learned at work also has significant relevance for family dynamics and relationships.
Because TetraMap is easy to learn and simple to remember, it becomes useful for a lifetime. As we are communicating and interacting in different relationships and contexts every day, this quickly and easily becomes a newfound skill set with many opportunities for practice, feedback and increased understanding.
“TetraMap is now part of me in my life.”
Workshop Participant
Where teams collaborate well, and across departments and nations, solve their own problems, listen to each other, and know how to leverage their natural differences and diversity. A team where the leadership responsibility lies with each of them – individually and collectively.
Everyone speaks a common language which helps to get people on the same page and reduces communications barriers. They appreciate the straightforward language and how TetraMap refuses to ‘box them in’. The experience created is safe and positive, and metaphor creates a universally acceptable and label-free language.
Don’t expect TetraMap to be a quick fix. It is not. An organisational approach requires a mindset shift. From short to long-term thinking. From Ego to Eco. From blame to responsibility and from independence to inter-dependence.
