Herrmann Whole Brain Model (HBDI) Workshop

Better Thinking. Better Performance. Better Results

“How is it that managers who attend a training session together, with a single trainer and a common program of instruction, can come away with totally opposite judgments and retain completely different elements?”

This is the question that Ned Herrmann grappled with!  Ned Herrmann, the creator of HBDI, was a successful executive at General Electric who had studied the brain and had a strong interest in “diversity of the brain”. As a management development expert, his curiosity and study of the brain (Nobel-prize winning brain research of 1970) the HBDI was developed.

The HBDI is an individual self assessment test that allows individuals to assess their own “Thinking Style” and become conscious of their mental preferences” in order to use them better in both personal and professional life. This understanding allows people to be more at ease with themselves and be more perceptive to the differences in how others might think.

    

Experience why thinking preferences influence perceptions, communication, decision-making, relationships, negotiations, team synergy and performance and why knowing HBDI will bring higher performance in your organization and at home.
