Understanding your DISC profile is about much more than revealing your personality or your natural skill set. It’s about uncovering how you communicate and interact with people around you. What could be more powerful in improving workplace relationships than getting to know your communication style and the preferences of others around you? Participating in a “Reveal Your Power” workshop helps teams gain better insight into how they can perform together for the best results by using the DISC assessment profile.
What Is DISC?
The DISC personal assessment tool provides insight into an individual’s potential, which helps deepen their understanding of themselves and those around them. Over one million people use the DISC assessment each year to improve their teamwork, communication, and overall productivity in the workplace.
What Does DISC Mean?
DISC is an acronym that represents four behavioural factors categorized by the DISC assessment model. The four behavioural factors are as follows: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Compliance. Uncovering where you sit on the spectrum for each of these categories can reveal the following:
- D – how you solve problems and challenges
- I – how you handle people and contacts
- S – your pace and consistency
- C – how you view procedures and compliance
Now, you may wonder how so many unique individuals can be filtered into four categories, and you’d be right to wonder because it’s not that simple. Each individual has a singular rating in each category that reveals where they sit on a spectrum of high to low in various settings. Your unique assessment will give you a score in each area, along with insights into how you interact best with others.
How Is DISC Useful?
Aside from giving you insightful truths about yourself, using the DISC profile, you can also gain insight into how your team functions with each other and as a whole. Co-workers can take the DISC assessment and DISCuss together how their results complement or clash with one another. In some workplaces, teams have used their DISC results to educate each other on how to communicate more effectively or how to avoid and resolve conflict with one another.
Companies and entrepreneurs can also benefit from the DISC profile when they plan to hire new employees. Knowing where the strengths and weaknesses in your existing team are means you can identify what you need to round out your organization. You can then search for the candidate that best fills the void in your organization in terms of skills and behaviour profile.
What Is Involved In the DISC Profile Workshop?
Taking the DISC profile assessment on your own will provide you with helpful information, but when you participate in a workshop setting where you’re asked critical questions and involved in participatory exercises, you’ll understand your results on a deeper level. Engaging with the data helps you live your results and seek personal development on another level.
After participating in my “Reveal Your Potential” workshop, attendees will learn how to minimize unnecessary conflict in both their work lives and personal lives. You’ll also learn how to maximize your strengths and understand your weaknesses, allowing you to grow further in your journey of self-improvement. Your results will also help you enhance your communication skills, which can help you increase productivity and daily engagement. And most importantly, you’ll walk away from the workshop with a heightened sense of self-awareness, which is essential for building more genuine relationships in every aspect of our lives.
Why Should I Take Part in the DISC Assessment Workshop?
While no assessment tool should ever define you or limit you, it can provide valuable inspiration and uncover opportunities for self-improvement. Anyone who is searching for ways to improve their life both professionally and personally will benefit from participating in the workshop. Taking the DISC assessment can significantly improve your chances for success in your career and reduce your conflict with co-workers or family members.
