Everyone has his or her own behavioral style. DISC is a simple model for understanding behavioral styles and adapting your style to more effectively interact with others.

Prior to the seminar, each participant completes a survey and receives a 20-25 page report including:

• An in-depth analysis of his/her behavioral style
• Personalized recommendations for change based on his/her assessment
• An action plan for personal growth and improvement

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