Who do you think you are? Who do other people think you are? Basic definitions-- of your personal style, communication abilities, convictions, and quirks-- are step one to connecting and communicating with colleagues and co-workers. Communication leads to participation, and both are must-haves for performance and productivity. Terri sets up the tools and techniques that let your people take ownership of their talents and abilities.

It's about greater understanding of human nature… about a simple way to Define someone's natural abilities, and then Align them with various business functions.

Define & Align®. In the rush to shoehorn job applicants into job openings, a lot of square pegs wind up jammed into round holes. The alternative is a straightforward series of basic definitions… of the company's goals, the job's requirements, and the expectations of the employee.

	Define yourself.

	Define the organization.

	Define the department.

	Define the position.

If these basic definitions are in place, the "right' employee is virtually defined for you.

Imagine how clear definitions could change your recruiting, hiring, and personnel management methods.

The Kabachnick Group utilizes DEFINE & ALIGN, a proven and successful methodology that can define an individual's basic communication style. 99% accurate, it takes fifteen minutes, generates an amazingly accurate and detailed profile, and serves as step one to better communication.
