Online Webinar 2019 - Live Webinar Effective Communication Strategies Using DISC as Your Powerful Leadership Guide

OverView
The DISC model is a very practical and user-friendly theory of human behavior. It creates a common language and a framework to better understand ourselves and others. It is completely non-judgmental with no good or bad categories, or high or low scores. Used with an assessment tool, it identifies individuals’ behavioral styles. There are no right or wrong answers with DISC questionnaire, as it is not a test.
DISC assessments measure how employees respond to rules, the environment, other people, and problems and challenges. The goal of the assessment is to determine which behavioral traits motivate employees so workplace communication styles can match the motivating factors, for a best fit.
The DISC assessment identifies employees’ relative comfort levels, or preferences, among each D, I, S, and C style. While employees generally have one dominant style, the other behavioral styles play a role too. Someone may be highly steady and dominant, meaning they respond to both challenges and the environment, and are less affected by rules, procedures, and the influence of others.

Why Should you Attend
While there are other behavioral and communications-style tests out there, many consider DISC the best pick for workplaces. Specifically, it focuses on interpersonal communications, whereas the Myers-Briggs personality test focuses on how people process information internally. Thus, DISC is a more practical tool for use within the workplace.
While there are many tools for employee assessments, DISC stands apart because it is accurate, flexible, and intuitive.
Once you are familiar with DISC, you can see the behavioral styles at play and find blends and variations (no two influencers are exactly the same). You can even guess at someone's DISC style by observing their behavior in interviews, reading their emails, or seeing the end result of a work project. Because you can readily spot DISC types (as compared to Myers-Briggs, for one), it's a great took for using even when you are stressed, tired, angry, or on a tight deadline.
