Life Style Inventory®

Training Workshop – Module Overview

The “Life Styles Inventory® (LSI)”is part of Innesskirk’s innovative Multi-Level Performance Improvement System. The system is based on extensive research, used by more than 5 million people world-wide and boasts more than 20 years data and history. The system includes multiple organizational behavior analysis tools for individuals, teams and organizations which reinforce and complement each other.

The “LSI-part 1 (LSI-1)” measures thinking styles and increases self-awareness. It covers how thinking and interpretation of situations affects behavior. It delivers an overview of strengths and developmental areas. The workshop provides individual measurement and a self-development guide and action plan based on the outcomes of the tests.

The “LSI-part 2 (LSI-2)” measures other’s interpretation of behavior. It covers how actual behavior is interpreted by others and how it differs from self-interpretation. The resulting gap analysis is used to plan and implement a personal behavior change plan.

This workshop allows individuals to become aware of their actual behavior and offers development plans to develop more positive achievement focused behavior. It can include analysis of behavior by different groups: All, direct reports, peers and managers

Pre-workshop online measurement surveys, tutorial sessions, case studies, practical exercises, presentations and syndicate work make this a proactive, hands-on course.

Workshop Objectives - Delegates Will Be Able To…

  • Understand how thinking styles and personal interpretation influences behavior
  • Recognize the gaps between self-analysis and how actual behavior is interpreted by others
  • Understand and recognize 12 human behavior styles, which define constructive, passive defensive and aggressive defensive behavior

  • Plan and implement a personal change plan to develop more positive achievement focused behavior
  • Understand how to keep the change momentum intact through planning of behavior alternatives, positive rewards systems
  • Set a clear personal behavior benchmark, which can be revisited in the future to show the effect of change plan implementation
