I am thrilled by the simplicity and relevance to day-to-day business of the Effective Intelligence mindframes. In the past 4 years I have used the techniques to help me to run meetings more effectively, to establish a clear decision making process and, most importantly, to value the contributions of each of the team players. The mindframes helped me to make conflicts less personal and understand them as a consequence of different thinking styles.

"Brett Richards, founder of a company named, "Connective Intelligence" has worked with our New Account Manager ranks over the past 2-3 years, with great success.
Feedback from our most recent program with Brett Richards, please keep in mind that Account Managers are typically a difficult audience - yet they raved about this program in particular.
When asked what they liked most about the week-long training, 7 out of 10 specifically named the "Thinking" workshop, and 2 others referenced it in a more general manner such as "interacting with others".
To put this in perspective remember that even our New Account Managers typically have a minimum of about 10 years of pharma industry experience, and have held leadership positions including the DSM role. In this group, 3 of the 10 had over 20 years industry experience. As you can imagine, they've been through many similar training programs and still found great value and relevance in the "Thinking Styles" program in particular.
Brett is a talented facilitator of this intriguing and thought-provoking program - I highly recommend it".

"Of the manyleadership training programs I have participated in, the one offered by Connective Intelligence Inc. is amongst the best with respect to providing both personal insight and practical tools to enhance leadership style. I have continued to engage with Connective Intelligence during the 5 years since my original training to foster understanding within teams, drive change and steer agendas. I have also found Effective Intelligence decision tracks to be one of the most effective tools to direct challenging meetings and collectively conclude with actionable next steps."
