Are you highly valued or high-cost?

This Focus Lecture was recorded Monday, November 15 2021, 4-5 PM Pacific. This replay is only available for seven days.

In most meetings across the globe, a prominent wasteful dysfunction transpires.

In this Nov 15 focus lecture, discover how you enable or cripple those around you.

Get a group of people together, and a familiar pattern begins: One or more are tapping their fingers, wanting to DO something. A few offer disruptive new ideas that others quickly shoot down, demanding the evidence for it to work. All the while, some merely want to share, connect, and relate. From a small start-up to the United Nations, we can’t seem to get things done. Why?

We are often oblivious to our role in poorly organized transactions. We help in the only way we know, our superpower (which if misplaced is high cost).

Imagine a meeting where, rather than ego, charisma, or complaint running the show, we could merely ascertain where we are in the transaction at hand and address what is needed to move it along. In the companies where this does occur, things are faster, and there is less friction and little dysfunction. Products get released to market faster. Initiatives get launched with ease.

Go from high-cost to highly valued.

Our Superpower / Kryptonite Quiz

is a means to indicate your Personality and Transactional Behavior™ and to demonstrate how relevant this model is to everyday exchanges. The quiz is not meant to merely leave you with an understanding of yourself; it easily modifies how we work together and removes friction and dysfunction.

Superpower

We are highly valued when our personality aligns with the proper role in the transaction. We can accelerate transactions.

Kryptonite

We are high-cost when our personality is misaligned with the proper role in the transaction. We can disrupt transactions.
