Things Clients Say...
“Often I was left feeling at odds with my team. Mike has helped us to find common ground and find ways to balance out both perspectives.”
Dr. Derek Haaland – Rheumatologist/Immunologist
“We have been working with Mike over the past year to improve our team dynamics in the journey to achieve Growth Mindset during this challenging time we are all in. The Human Scaffold Experience is personalized to the group because Mike really takes the time to understand the needs of the group and tailor the workshops accordingly. The sense of partnership is strong and that makes all the difference.”
“I met with Human Scaffold to discuss ways to improve communication within our organization. Being a huge proponent of staff development, I have managed quite well on my own, and never felt the need to bring in a third party. However, after meeting with Human Scaffold, I decided to have Mike help with our annual retreat and he was able to deliver some real beneficial change to my office. Mike was able to involve my entire team which was an impressive achievement on its own.
What I liked most is that Mike did not try to change the vision or mission of my company but rather helped us address our company goals with better internal communication. Human Scaffold continues to play a role within my company as it works more closely with our upper management team.
I highly recommend Human Scaffold if you are looking to enhance communication within your organization. The strategies are not only applicable to your workplace but can also be applied to your personal life. Thanks, Mike and team!”
“Our team recently participated in Human Scaffold’s PDA workshops led by Mike. Having worked with other assessment tools, the PDA framework provided an impressively accurate assessment of behavioral profiles, and the opportunity to better appreciate peoples’ fundamentally different styles for communication and interaction.
Mike’s workshops proved to be a fun way to engage in team building, creating a memorable experience for all. I am a believer in this method and have already begun to apply this framework to my day to day interactions with great success. Thank you, Mike, for creating value for our team.”
“When you are striving to be a good leader and inspiring people manager, it’s helpful to use tools that strengthen your skills and help build your self-awareness.
Mike introduced me to the PDA framework, and his guidance in using this tool has been invaluable. The key takeaway from this tool is that it maps out how to effectively manage an individual, based on risk, extroversion, patience, conformity to norms, and self-control. By using this framework and matching both the leader’s style and the employee’s style, you can gain valuable insights and actions that are simple to put into practice immediately. This framework has helped me in my approach with several employees and the report is something I refer back to time and again.
In addition, Mike’s open and positive approach to guiding us through this framework created space for us to have meaningful conversations in how we approach our work together. I would highly recommend this framework and Mike as a fantastic facilitator to guide you through this process.”
