How do these affect your business or your life? They can change it. DiSC® behavioral profiles will effectively transform the way you communicate with, deal with, and understand people around you.
 
Organizations worldwide have embraced the language of DiSC®, and millions of people have gained insight about themselves and others through DiSC®-based learning instruments.

Dominance: Direct and Decisive.
D’s are strong-willed, strong-minded people who like accepting challenges, taking action, and getting immediate results.
influence: Optimistic and Outgoing.
I’s are “people people” who like participating on teams, sharing ideas, and energizing and entertaining others.
Steadiness: Sympathetic and Cooperative.
S’s are helpful people who like working behind the scenes, performing in consistent and predictable ways, and being good listeners.
Conscientiousness: Concerned and Correct.
C’s are sticklers for quality and like planning ahead, employing systematic approaches, and checking and re-checking for accuracy.



Every day, organizations use DiSC® to establish a common language, paving the way for successful training and coaching applications.


Detailed, personalized information helps people apply DiSC® learning to specific business situations, including sales, leadership development, customer service, and conflict resolution.

Tips for Assessments

    		•
          To grow your Small Business, you must constantly rely on perpetual learning. As an entrepreneur, you must commit yourself to a life of ongoing educational maintenance in order to be successful in the constantly changing business world. The Personal Learning Insights Profile will help Small Business owners and employees gain insight into the three important aspects of cognitive learning in order to enable them to integrate that information into personal development programs, conflict resolution or any variety of workplace programs.

    As a business owner, to grow your Small Business, you have to coach your team members on how to be open to learning new methods and new approaches of sales, marketing, and lead generation. Small Business is never static, which means that we all have to take an extra effort towards learning the most innovative and modern methods of gaining more clients and growing your business. With the Personal Learning Insights Profile, you can learn how your own and your team members’ tendencies are towards learning to make your approaches to teaching and coaching them more effective.

    Individuals identify and understand how they experience, process, organize, store and retrieve information differently. To accommodate these different methods of learning, the Personal Learning Insights Profile examines learning through purpose, learning through structure and learning through activity. Managers and those who supervise others can use this information to tailor the introduction of new processes or procedures in a way that makes it easily understood by all parties.

    The Personal Learning Insights Profile is an effective and easy to use learning tool that will help respondents identify their individual method of learning and will teach them how to effectively communicate their learning needs. This in turn will result in a reliable framework from which to evaluate formal and informal learning opportunities as well as resources and strategies that will be most effective for each employee.

  • Sales Action!
    		•
          For some people, sales can be difficult, and for others, it’s the easiest thing and strongest thing they know how to do. If you’re a business owner, sales is part of your business. Sales and relationships may come second nature to you or you might have a natural affinity for sales. The organization, follow up, lead generation, and much more are aspects of sales that often get forgotten about.

    Furthermore, people face many obstacles and interruptions from various sources during the sales process. Keeping an eye on the goal and effectively managing a vast assortment of project related details can be difficult for anyone who works in the sales arena. I have found that the DiSC Sales Action Planner is designed to help you create successful sales strategies that will result in an increased level of productivity and clientele.

    The DiSC Sales Action Planner can help you identify and examine the situations that you are most comfortable with and effective in. Once you’ve clarified comfort zones, those areas can then be enhanced and capitalized upon using clearly described techniques.

  • Creating Positive Relationships
    		•
          In Small Business, relationships are everything. This extends not only to your relationships with leads and opportunities, but also to those within your company and with past clients. Did you know that you can strategize your relationships in Small Business just as effectively as business plans and sales plans? Actually, your relationship strategies should be just as important as your sales strategies because your Small Business is so contingent on your relationships.

    All people of all different personality types have value in your business world, but knowing how to best relate to them and understand their varying aspects of behavioral qualities will make your Small Business grow. Everyone tends to thrive, grow and produce better when surrounded by individuals who approach them in a way that they feel most comfortable. As an entrepreneur, if you can learn how to best relate to varying personalities and business techniques, you can make your company’s relationships stronger, longer-lasting, and more fruitful.

    You’ve probably already learned how to deal with many different personalities just in the first years you were beginning your Small Business. If growing your business is important to you, then you will want to strategize how you can create positive relationships with employees as well as clients. Furthermore, coaching your salespeople and customer service staff to better relate to different personalities will make your sales and client relationships stronger.

    Using the DiSC Classic 2 Plus ‘Strategies for Creating a Positive Relationship’ report will help Small Business owners like yourself learn the best way to approach and interact with different team members and sales clients whose patterns of behavior and learning differ based on their personality types.

    With the DiSC Classic 2 Plus, you first learn how your behavior style has different tendencies in a work environment, and then you can learn how other behavioral styles work. Based upon this knowledge, you can make better decisions on how to approach various types of relationships. Coaching your employees, you can show them how to effectively utilize their behavioral strengths to make their work relationships stronger and make more positive relationships to grow your business. Don’t pass up on this excellent opportunity to grow your business and your team.

  • Diverse Deals
    		•
          When it comes to Small Business, it’s a given that we will have to learn to communicate and relate to people of different backgrounds from us. This includes people from different cultures, parts of the world, religions, families, etc. Small Business is populated by individuals of various backgrounds, beliefs and traditions. Although you don’t have to agree with different people’s mindsets, it can be an invaluable tool to be able to communicate, sell to, and relate to people of different backgrounds. This isn’t limited to your prospective clients; it also includes your employees and assistants as well as customer service employees from other companies.

    In order to work effectively and productively with individuals who may not share your same belief systems or may come from a different background, one must understand their own behavior towards people who are different from themselves. I have found the Discovering Diversity Profile to be a great tool. It is designed to assist individual Small Business owners and teams from all walks of life identify their own behavioral patterns when working with those who do not share the same viewpoints, customs or experiences.

    Walking Small Business owners and employees through the 4 complex issues of knowledge, understanding, acceptance and behavior, the Discovering Diversity Profile will help them discover their personal comfort level with people who are different from themselves. They will also understand the impact of their behavior on others, which can be useful in adjusting how one communicates with different people. Once they can assess the accuracy of their knowledge about differences, they can limit the influence of stereotypes. This will undoubtedly help to reduce conflict within the company and also within customer relationships. By transforming knowledge into acceptance and empathy, you will see that sales tactics will be more effective and your company’s team will be healthier and more supportive.

    Whether you are looking for a new tool to increase your company’s sales or your company’s dynamic, the Discovering Diversity Profile is a great way to access and communicate with prospective clients or internal employees that you might currently have trouble understanding or communicating with.

  • Do you Hear What I Hear?
    		•
          It is no secret that good communication skills are essential to the successful entrepreneur and effective management of every small business. What’s the best way to amp up your communication skills? Analyzing how you listen. Usually we consider communication to be how we speak, contact, and email with others, but listening is just as important an aspect of communication as speaking.

    The Personal Listening Profile is a learning tool that will guide each individual respondent towards their personal best in communicating with clients, team members and management staff in your industry. Whether you are looking to fine tune your or your employees’ customer service, presentation skills, conflict resolution, or team building, the Personal Listening Profile will give you the tools you need to do so.

    The strongest Small Businesses that I have coached understand that success depends on their whole team communicating effectively, with both the goals of the company and unified environments in mind. The quality of communication between the speaker and the recipient of the message does not solely rely on the speaker’s ability to verbally present the message. One of the most influential factors in the quality and outcome of all verbal communications lies within the ability of those receiving the message to listen effectively and then respond appropriately.

    The Personal Listening Profile will examine 5 different approaches to listening: appreciative, empathic, comprehensive, discerning, and evaluative. It will then provide the tools you need to educate yourself and/or your employees and enable you and them to adjust methods of approach toward different individuals who will hear the message. By examining and learning to work with each person’s natural listening styles, your Small Business will be better positioned to overcome listening barriers, reduce conflict and achieve greater individual, team and organizational performance.

The Relating to People and Environment report also identifies problem-solving strategies that may help the respondent improve his or her effectiveness. Finally, it analyzes the real estate agent's, real estate broker's, real estate manager's and real estate loan officer's reaction to stress. The tips listed should help develop coping and stress-reduction strategies to increase efficiency. The report concludes with a worksheet that can be used to develop an action plan.

    All in all, the ‘Relating to People and the Environment’ is a necessity when it comes to understanding an individual’s natural tendencies for communication. It is the most effective method of strengthening communication skills, prioritization and time management to better achieve the goals of your business.

  • What’s your Role?
    		•
          Whether you’re hiring new employees or establishing roles at your business, the Role Behavior Analysis is one of the best systems for clarifying the roles within your company. Without clearly defined roles and work expectations, employees will not understand or unite to achieve the company’s goals. One of the most prevalent conflicts I have seen in work environments is the discrepancy between what an employee thinks he/she is supposed to do and what the manager thinks his/her employees should do.

    In order to prevent any sort of conflict that can arise because of this, the Role Behavior Analysis is an extraordinarily effective role behavior evaluation instrument, clearly identifying the correct behavioral expectations associated with specific roles and functions within an organization. 

    The Role Behavior Analysis will clearly define the expectations associated with a particular role in an organization by concentrating on the behaviors needed to most effectively fill the role. By taking an objective look at the role itself, it seeks to fulfill the company’s goals, and then allows you to find someone or work with someone who can take on the role.

    Once a Role Behavior Analysis has been created, large and small business owners and their management staff can easily compare the behavioral expectations of a role within the organization to their own individual behavioral patterns as identified through their DiSC Behavioral Assessment. This comparison will indicate whether or not the functions that need to be performed to most effectively fill the role in the organization are currently being fulfilled in the most efficient manner by the individual filling the role or that will be filling the role.

    The Role Behavior Analysis is an excellent tool for management coaching and team development. The Role Behavior Analysis will assist in the development of placement strategies that will meet role expectations. The Role Behavior Analysis is also excellent for personal development, as it offers practical advice and techniques to facilitate the transition from one role to another.

    The primary purpose of the Role Behavior Analysis is to ensure that the guidelines of how to do a specific job most effectively and efficiently determine who will be filling that role within the organization. This is an effective method that will mutually benefit both the company and the employee.

  • Strategies For Managing Small Businesses
    •       Have you ever felt like your management techniques are not cutting it, and are not producing the results you keep hoping for? The best way to manage others is to understand yourself first. If you can understand your strengths and weaknesses in communication, management, and delegation, you will also understand how better to turn these qualities up and down when you need them the most. Additionally, if you can understand the strengths and weaknesses of your employees, you will better manage them and lead them to reaching the company’s goals better.

    The best way that I have found in managing my own employees is the ‘Strategies for Managing,’ one of the many extremely valuable reports generated by the DiSC Classic 2 Plus. This report examines how those in positions of authority over others, such as real estate brokers, managers, executives and small business owners, can most effectively and efficiently manage the various respondents to the DiSC Profile assessments under their supervision.

    By having yourself and your employees take the DiSC Classic 2 Plus behavioral assessment, various parts of how you and your employees act in a work environment will be highlighted. By learning your own tendencies as well as those of your employees with the DiSC assessment, you can base your management techniques on the best ways that their behavior responds.

    The ‘Strategies for Managing’ report is a supplemental report that is included in the DiSC Classic 2 Plus assessment. This informs you as to the best methods to manage each individual employee. It will shed light upon their conflict areas, their weaknesses, and their strengths. This report will teach you how to communicate best with each employee and how to best delegate to each employee. For instance, some people’s profiles might show that they can be communicated to directly, whereas other people’s profiles might show that they need a more indirect manner of communication. No matter what, if you use the ‘Strategies for Managing’ report to mold your management skills with each individual employee, your results will be remarkable.

  • Knowing your Work Expectations
    •       Miscommunication is one of the key points in conflicts that take place in a work environment. The most common form of miscommunication is when expectations are not met or not clarified. How often have you worked for an employer who calls you into his or her office because you didn’t fulfill your duties? How often have those duties never been clearly delegated to you?

    If you’re a manager or leader, the best way to get the most out of your team members and employees is to clearly delegate and clearly communicate everyone’s role and how they fit into each project and how they fit into the company’s business goals. The Work Expectations Profile is an invaluable method of clearly understanding and communicating your expectations for each team member.  

    You can use the Work Expectations Profile to clearly identify and effectively communicate everyone’s expectations. By examining an employee’s work expectations in various situations that may occur in the office, the Work Expectations Profile enables managers, executives and small business owners to guide their employees effectively towards clearly understanding their individual role as they transition to a new position or become a valuable and contributing team member throughout an organizational restructuring. The Work Expectations Profile will also explore the employees’ work expectations in regards to working on a team and how best to make the most of their office routine.  

    The information gathered from the Work Expectations Profile is complimented by learning tools that will help to clearly define and communicate work expectations to each individual employee, based upon the results of their profile, to increase the personal satisfaction and success rate of the employee in the work environment.  Successful and satisfied employees are the foundation upon which successful small businesses and many other categories of business thrive with little employee turnover, increased productivity and additional organizational profitability.
