DISC-Based Self-Awareness
This training is for leaders and team members who want to recognize their own and others' natural behavioral preferences.
DISC
Licensed / external methodologyA behavioral style model: recognizing natural behavioral preferences.
- Participants recognize their own preferences and other people's types
- Fosters a more open, accepting attitude toward different behavioral styles
- We also use it in selection and customer communication
DISC behavioral typology describes behavior along four main factors: dominance, influence, steadiness and conscientiousness. All four are present in everyone, just in different proportions, and the model captures not character but observable behavior and natural preferences: the situations in which someone feels at home, and those that are a strain. Its key idea is that better collaboration usually does not require changing our character; adjusting our behavior is enough. In the programs, we work with a questionnaire, small-group exercises and film clips: from recognizing your own type and using your strengths consciously to treating and communicating with others in a way that suits their type. We use it in leadership development, selection and customer communication alike.

What is the program about?
One- or two-day group training, in person or online, built on the DISC behavioral typology; also available with Thod support.
What you take away: knowledge of your own behavioral model and natural preferences; the basics of DISC and the practice of DISC-based communication; a more open attitude toward other types, and the ability to change your habitual behavior in the middle of a situation.
Who is the program for?
For leaders and team members who want to better understand their own and others' behavioral preferences. It is especially timely when team members want to better understand their own natural behavioral preferences.
When is it worth starting?
- recognizing other people's behavioral types is needed to deal with them better
- the goal is a more open, accepting attitude toward other ways of operating.
How we work
The four DISC factors are present in everyone, just in different proportions; the key idea of the training is that better collaboration does not require changing your character, shaping your behavior is enough. We work with a questionnaire, small-group exercises and film clips.
Everyone has natural behavioral preferences: situations in which they feel at home, and others that are a strain. Those who know their own can make better use of the potential in their personality, and they also see when it is worth doing something other than what their reflexes dictate. The DISC model describes behavior along four main factors.
The exercises lead from recognizing your own type to dealing with others in a way that suits their type, so that differences become a collaborative advantage.
