When Strengths Collide: How behavioral differences create conflict and how strong teams use them to build trust and accountability
2026-03-26 14:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual Session
This session explores why workplace conflict is inevitable and how it can be both constructive and destructive. Conflict often stems not just from visible behaviors, but from deeper unmet needs, perceptions, and differing work styles. Using real-world examples, conflict is reframed as an opportunity for growth when managed effectively. It introduces the Predictive Index (PI) as a practical framework for understanding behavioral differences and improving collaboration and accountability.
What participants will learn by attending this webinar:

How workplace conflict is defined, why it occurs, and the hidden “iceberg” factors that drive it beneath the surface
The difference between healthy, constructive conflict and damaging, destructive conflict; and why “artificial harmony” can be harmful
The organizational impact of unresolved conflict, including productivity loss, dissatisfaction, and reduced trust
How PI behavioral drives (Dominance, Extraversion, Patience, and Formality) influence how individuals experience and handle conflict
Practical ways to use PI tools, such as relationship guides and team analytics, to resolve conflict between individuals and within teams
How to turn behavioral understanding into concrete action steps that build trust and accountability

Conflict is not the problem. Misunderstood behavior and unmet needs are. By increasing self-awareness and understanding others through the PI framework, teams can transform conflict into a catalyst for better communication, stronger relationships, and sustained accountability.

Smart Tools, Smarter Decisions: Making AI Work for Your People Strategy
2026-04-14 14:00 - 15:00 | Virtual Session
AI tools promise to revolutionize how we make people decisions—surfacing candidates faster, flagging potential risks, and predicting performance. But most organizations are treating AI like a magic answer machine instead of what it actually is: a powerful amplifier of human judgment.
When AI doesn’t understand your organization’s behavioral dynamics, strategic priorities, or cultural nuances, it delivers generic recommendations. And generic recommendations lead to expensive mistakes including bad hires, failed promotions, and teams that look great on paper but fall apart in practice.
The solution isn’t abandoning AI. It’s learning to layer your organizational intelligence into AI-assisted decisions. This workshop will show you exactly how.
You’ll walk away knowing how to:

Identify behavioral fit gaps that traditional interviews and AI screening tools consistently miss
Leverage AI for better talent decisions without letting it replace the human judgment that makes or breaks team performance
Build scalable decision-making frameworks that work whether you’re hiring your next manager or redesigning an entire department
Translate people data into executive language that drives strategic decisions and secures resources and commitment

This isn’t about learning yet another AI tool. It’s about developing the human-centric, tech-savvy muscle that ensures technology amplifies your strategic judgment rather than replacing it. In a world of rapidly advancing tools, the competitive advantage goes to leaders who know how to harness AI while staying firmly in control of their people strategy.

Stop Chasing Symptoms: How to Use Leading Indicators and the PI Platform to Hydrate Your Culture Before It Cracks
2026-06-18 14:00 - 15:00 | Virtual Session
Culture doesn’t collapse overnight. It dehydrates — slowly, quietly, and almost always 9 to 12 months before traditional metrics catch it. By the time turnover spikes or engagement tanks, leaders are already in recovery mode, responding to lagging indicators instead of preventing them.
In this one-hour session, culture consultant, six-time bestselling author, and PI Certified Talent Optimizer Shelley Smith introduces a fresh framework for reading your organization’s cultural health through the lens of leading and lagging indicators — and shows you how the PI Talent Optimization Platform gives you the data to act before the crisis hits.
Drawing from her proprietary THIRSTY Flow-State Culture Framework™ and its three phases — Detect, Restore, and Tend — Shelley maps each phase directly to the PI platform’s four modules: Hire, Inspire, Design, and Diagnose. You’ll see how these tools, used intentionally, become a real-time early warning system for cultural dehydration — and a roadmap back to organizational health.
Special emphasis will be placed on PI Diagnose and how its employee experience data surfaces the leading indicators most leaders overlook: job fit gaps, manager misalignment, team friction, and organizational disconnects — before they become headline problems.
Whether you’re a seasoned PI practitioner or exploring how to get more strategic value from your platform, you’ll walk away with a new way of seeing your people data and a practical framework for using it to build a culture that doesn’t just survive — it flows.

Learning Objectives:

Why Change Fails Even When Strategy Is Right
2026-07-15 14:00 - 15:00 | Virtual Session
“The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.”
Even the most thoughtful strategies, carefully built roadmaps, and well-intentioned change initiatives can falter when unexpected challenges arise. In organizations, those disruptions are often not just operational. They are human.
Whether your organization is navigating restructuring, growth, leadership transitions, technology/AI rollouts, or shifting priorities, successful change requires more than a solid plan. It requires leaders who can adapt when plans inevitably meet reality and guide people through the uncertainty that follows.
This webinar combines the Lippitt-Knoster Model for Change, Predictive Index behavioral insights, and principles of psychological safety to help leaders understand why change efforts stall and how to create the conditions for stronger adoption, resilience, and execution.
Participants will learn how to:

Identify six essential conditions for successful change
Recognize where change initiatives commonly break down (confusion, resistance, anxiety, frustration, and false starts)
Use Predictive Index people data to adapt communication, leadership, and motivation strategies
Understand how team dynamics and psychological safety influence change adoption
Lead teams through disruption with greater confidence, clarity, and effectiveness

This session is ideal for PI Trained Analysts, People Managers, HR Leaders, and organizational change champions who want to move beyond strategy and lead the human side of change more effectively.
