What Trainers Say About Style Matters

Notice: Site update
It's working!  Access is fully restored for taking the Style Matters assessment! Please proceed. If you are blocked, let us know and we will assist. Send notes to center@riverhouseePress.com.  Especially if you have made repeated efforts in the past, sometimes we have to give special instructions to users.

Monday afternoon, Nov 17: Quite a Number of people have successfully taken the assessment and gotten score reports. But a percentage encounter a block as they begin to take the assessment that says, "You are not authorized."  This is minor cleanup, compared to what we've done in the last 10 days, but will take several hours to get all the logins adjusted with changes we made on our server.  I think we can get this sorted out by Tuesday morning. If you can't wait till then, send us a note and we will send you a PDF with the questions. You can send us your answers (a number between one and seven for 20 questions), we will input them for you, and send you an email score report.

If you are a trainer using the dashboard, hold off sending out invitations until we get this issue sorted out and can test further with the dashboard ourselves. We think we can have this done by Tuesday middayWe are currently updating parts of our site. Some features may look different today.
 

Optimize for learning

Train with tools designed by trainers and optimized for learning. Direct attention beyond numbers to core strengths, opportunities for growth, and strategic choices.

Prepare for diversity

Build conflict resolution skills in settings where managing differences is challenging. Use training tools with built-in cultural flexibility. Provide opportunities to discuss how diverse backgrounds shape habits in conflict.

Be practical

Ground learning in affirmation of existing strength. Give clear, simple feedback on areas of concern. Provide detailed suggestions for options to improve.

Be stress aware

Calm≠Storm. Recognize response to conflict as dynamic and not single state.  Give tools to manage the Storm Shift.

Be where they are

Provide multi-platform delivery of training. Support groups and teams scattered physically and working together online. Use time-saving web tools to facilitate learning for individuals, teams, or groups, in face-to-face workshops or online.

Work with limits

Price training materials in reach of all who need them. Reduce prep, coordination, and delivery time with trainer-friendly online tools. Deliver rich learning, on location or online, in less time, with less travel.

Take a long view

Expand the window of learning and support reflection before, during, and after workshops. Set up rich discussion in pairs, small groups, and large groups. Followup with resources for continued growth.  Facilitate journeys, not events.
