What you get with Style Matters Online

  • Eight pages of personalized advice.
    Take a short online survey and get an immediate report, packed with no-nonsense feedback. Our software analyzes your scores, highlights your strengths, alerts you to things to watch out for, and gives specific suggestions for improving your conflict style.

  • Storm Shift assessment.
    Does your behavior change as things escalate from mere disagreement to high intensity conflict?  Does stress in your environment trigger unexpected responses from you towards people around you?  A Storm Shift, even a big one, is not necessarily a problem, if you recognize the response and manage it.  But if you don't, confusion and mistrust will grow.  Learn your patterns and manage your Storm Shift.

  • Guidance for partners.
    The "Partner Support" section provides detailed suggestions for partners and friends.  Use this for rewarding conversation with people you live or work with.  They'll understand you better and know how to help you function at your best.

  • Interactive tutorial enables independent learning.
    Includes all the content covered in most training workshops: basics of the five styles, strengths and weaknesses of each, and how to work with people whose styles differ from yours.

  • Practical tips show you next steps.
    Get specific suggestions you can use immediately in your relationships, based on your scores.  Trying to be nice isn't always the answer.  Style Matters helps you assess what really matters and act accordingly.

  • Online resources put expertise at your fingertips.
    Get new ideas on anger management (How to express it constructively), apology (Why apologizing too soon can make things worse), conflict resolution, culture and conflict, training, and more. Connect to resources and people working on issues you care about.

  • Cultural adaptability.
    Works for people from a variety of cultural background (thanks to Edward T. Hall's concept of High Context and Low Context cultures).

Optimize for learning

Train with tools designed by trainers and optimized for learning. Direct attention beyond numbers to core strengths, opportunities for growth, and strategic choices.

Prepare for diversity

Build conflict resolution skills in settings where managing differences is challenging. Use training tools with built-in cultural flexibility. Provide opportunities to discuss how diverse backgrounds shape habits in conflict.

Be practical

Ground learning in affirmation of existing strength. Give clear, simple feedback on areas of concern. Provide detailed suggestions for options to improve.

Be stress aware

Calm≠Storm. Recognize response to conflict as dynamic and not single state.  Give tools to manage the Storm Shift.

Be where they are

Provide multi-platform delivery of training. Support groups and teams scattered physically and working together online. Use time-saving web tools to facilitate learning for individuals, teams, or groups, in face-to-face workshops or online.

Work with limits

Price training materials in reach of all who need them. Reduce prep, coordination, and delivery time with trainer-friendly online tools. Deliver rich learning, on location or online, in less time, with less travel.

Take a long view

Expand the window of learning and support reflection before, during, and after workshops. Set up rich discussion in pairs, small groups, and large groups. Followup with resources for continued growth.  Facilitate journeys, not events.
