Communication
DiSC 1: Understanding You
Each of us has our own personality, preferences and styles. Our individual styles influence who we collaborate well with, and who we tend to have more difficulty with. This training will help you gain a deeper understanding of your style and an introduction to the other styles.
DiSC 2: Understanding Other Styles
DiSC shows that we all approach our work according to what we prioritize. Our priorities also affect how we react to the people we work with. To work more effectively with others, we sometimes have to bridge differences in style preferences and priorities. This training will help you gain an understanding of the different styles and how to work effectively with them.
Working as a Team

For individuals that would like to help their teams grow, improve productivity, and improve efficiency, this training will help you understand how to be in a strong, cohesive team that works well together. You will learn DiSC communication style strategies and methods to capitalize on the strengths and understanding the weaknesses of each style to work more effectively with your team.
