Alan says…
I’m not surprised to see that Communication is the number one request for personal development work – not because Kemin people are BAD at it, but because I have seen first hand how much people at Kemin VALUE solid communication.
Start Here: Tier One
Everything DiSC Workplace
Everything DiSC® is a simple work style assessment tool that gives you a robust understanding of your communication priorities and habits. Upon completing the assessment, you receive long-term support and virtual access to your results via the Catalyst platform. Catalyst provides easy navigation to personal DiSC styles and visual learning tools to coach pairs of co-workers on their working relationships. This is a popular assessment across all of Kemin Industries and leaders appreciate the shared vocabulary.
Communication for Connection
Communication for Connection addresses the three common obstacles to effective communication: maturity in the moment, personality styles and trait differences, and the tendency to be vague and make attitude assumptions. You will learn to identify them and develop the skills needed to overcome them in yourself and others. This is a signature program – it’s the first of Alan’s programs that was delivered at Kemin, and many across the enterprise have experienced it.
If you’ve done both of the above and want more, move to:
Tier Two
Everything DiSC Management

Speed of Trust Foundations
(if you are a leader or contributor)

As an HR professional I can truly say Alan has helped Kemin employees and leaders drive their development to improve not only themselves but the business outcomes at Kemin.
Amanda Formaro | Vice President, HR — North America | Kemin
Alan was a fantastic facilitator. He is one of those natural teachers that get people engaged and keep them focused. He makes the learning experience fun. I appreciate how he gets everyone involved and at ease with the process. I remember that after this training, the team here was constantly talking about what they had learned and I would often find people huddled around the handouts from the course discussing how they should work with people that they now understood view things differently. The class really lent itself to breaking the ice for my team.
