Fortis Leadership can help diagnose team dysfunction, facilitate constructive dialogue and develop trust. Workplaces are made up of individuals with diverse thoughts, styles and personalities. Often times when two or more are gathered, there is an opportunity to create synergy through recognizing the value in our differences as individuals, and surprisingly, our similarities. The reality is where teams exist, there are challenges in collaboration and recognizing the value each person brings.
Our unique process of creating a pathway for groups to transform into highly effective and high performing teams is a hallmark of Fortis Leadership.
“We believe individuals need to commit to straight talk with goodwill to break down the walls of mistrust and make way for connectedness and synergy to emerge.”

5 Languages of Workplace Appreciation
Creating a work environment where individuals are connecting and honoring differences is critical to the success of any team. Fortis Leadership offers a workshop based on years of working with teams along with the work of Dr. Paul White and Dr. Gary Chapman.
White and Chapman’s best-selling book for leaders, 5 Languages of Workplace Appreciation, provides valuable research and insights about the need of employees to understand what they do on behalf of an organization. The book also discusses the ways individuals best receive messages of appreciation vary from person to person.
The goal of this workshop is to assist individuals in understanding how to communicate appreciation and encouragement effectively to their colleagues in a ‘language’ the co-worker understands and values.
Leaders can also experience 5 Languages of Workplace Appreciation by attending the Evolving Leaders Program.
After participating in this workshop, participants will be able to:
