DiSC Profiling & Adaptive Team Communication

Course Summary

This 1-day interactive program introduces participants to the DiSC personality profiling model and its application in team communication, conflict navigation, delegation, and relationship-building.

    Afternoon Session: Applying DiSC in Real Conversations

      • Adapting Communication for Clarity & Connection
