DISC training provides participants with valuable insight into their personality traits and how they interact with others. It offers an excellent foundation for building better relationships, both professional and personal. This enables them to better understand why people do what they do, how they may react to stressors or challenges and how best to work together. It also reveals how they can improve their performance by understanding the strengths of other personalities and how to avoid conflict.

The key to a successful workplace is strong interpersonal communication. This requires a blend of leadership skills, clearly communicated and understood objectives, motivation, clear and consistent expectations and effective management. It can be very challenging to build a high-functioning team if the individual personalities don’t mesh well.

A DISC workshop can help teams remove the perceptual filters that keep them from seeing their own and their colleagues’ styles. In addition, the DISC training provides a common language for discussing styles and tendencies and helps team members understand how they can leverage their strengths to strengthen their relationships while avoiding or moving past the potential of personality clashes.

The DISC training is also a great way for managers, supervisors and employees to develop greater skill in relationship-building. By scheduling a DISC workshop, they can gain valuable tools for building and maintaining strong working relationships that will result in increased productivity, reduced conflict and improved performance.

Training a group of individuals to conduct a workshop on DISC is a worthwhile investment. The program can be customized to fit specific organization and industry needs and delivered either online or onsite for groups of five or more participants. Roger keeps the workshop interactive and engaging through group activities, role plays, frank discussions and ongoing personal action plans. In addition, he offers one-on-one coaching for key managers and supervisors to continue the “unpacking” process of their own DISC assessment results.

While there are many DISC assessments available, only a small handful are scientifically validated to measure actual behavior. Be sure to research the different options carefully and choose a product that has been proven to accurately assess personality.

DISC can be used to improve all types of relationships, both professional and personal. Whether you are a leader looking to create an environment of trust, a salesperson seeking to fine-tune their selling approach or a parent trying to navigate a child’s developmental challenges, this personality type model can be helpful in understanding why people do what they do. After all, we all have a little bit of each of the four DISC styles in us. It is just a matter of learning how to identify those tendencies and then applying that knowledge in a meaningful way. Just like a superhero discovering his or her super powers, it takes training to understand how to use them effectively.
