DISC helps you do more than talk, it helps you connect!  Connect with loved ones, business associates, potential clients, colleagues, your manager…anyone.  It helps you leverage and build upon your communication strategies.

DISC will help you understand how others perceive you and why; help reduce conflict, build and cultivate more dynamic and stronger teams, develop robust interpersonal relations, create effective management strategies and increase productivity.

DISC teaches us about the Platinum Rule – Treat others as THEY want to be treated!  (Note the difference, it’s not treat others as you want to be treated, its about how they want to be treated) The Platinum Rule was coined by Dr Tony Alessandra.

So…what exactly is DISC?

DISC is a 24 question assessment and can process over 19,000 individual responses and give over 380 different behavioral styles.  DISC is about behavior, not skill, not values, not morals, not personality –  its about your behavior preferences.  The entire assessment will take about 15 minutes and you receive a customized report based on your responses.  As you are learning more about yourself, you also learn how to identify the behavior styles of others.  Once you understand this, you have the key to better communication.

Tony Robbins says: “The DISC (Index) will help you understand your behavioral style and how to maximize your potential”
