Multiply the value of this seminar with a DISC Assessment

Everyone has his or her own thinking style. DISC is a simple model for understanding thinking and behavioral styles and can be an effective tool for bringing about change.

Prior to the seminar, each participant completes a survey and receives a 15-20 page report including:

• An in-depth analysis of his/her thinking and behavioral style
• Personalized tips for change, based on his/her assessment
• An action plan for improving his/her effectiveness in striving for success

The personalized reports, and group interaction based on the assessments, add tremendous depth to the seminar.
