DISC Based Workshops, Training and Coaching

Without doubt the quality of any workplace is directly impacted by how well (or not) people communicate with each other. How people build relationships has a massive influence on how engaged, effective and productive they are!

Research has shown 93% of (in)effective communication is determined by behaviour. This means behaviour is vitally important in developing healthy productive workplaces. Conversely virtually all disagreements are due to behavioural misunderstandings rather than factual ones.

A good useable understanding of behavioural styles is known to make a significant difference in developing individuals and teams who are engaged, collaborative, feel understood and have high trust.

In developing our courses, our approach has been to make the training practical and easy to implement, equipping people with the understanding and tools they need to make longer lasting adaptive change.

Conflict Management

Let's be honest...conflict is pretty much inevitable when you work with others. People have different viewpoints and, under a certain set of circumstances, those differences escalate to conflict.

Using the DISC framework, we see conflict often occurs when people with different styles present information in a way others find unpalatable. For example, a person who is a big picture thinker may come into conflict with another individual with a high need for detail, and visa-versa. When these frustrations arise and pressure increases, the individuals default often is to become more entrenched in their innate behaviours adding to the conflict.

DISC in Conflict Management has proven to be a powerful tool enabling individuals to understand innate destructive tendencies which can arise under pressure, and how to manage them.

Learner Takeaways:

  • Understand DISC style Productive and Destructive Tendencies in conflict
  • Identify personal triggers leading to Destructive responses
  • Develop strategies to manage Destructive responses

Conflict Management can be even more effective when combined with coaching.
