DiSC – Personality Style Fundamentals – 1/2 – 1 day
Do certain people at work drive you crazy because of the way they communicate? Do you ever wonder why some people’s pace of decision-making is either fast or slow? Why do some people avoid conflict and others confront head-on? Understanding different personality styles and how to communicate more effectively with them is at the core of becoming a more effective leader and team player.
Humans have been studying and creating systems for understanding different personalities since the time of Hippocrates in ancient Greece. The DiSC personality profile system is a modern version of this classic subject, which makes understanding different personalities accessible and relevant to today’s business people.
