Why We Click with Some and Clank with Others
(DiSC^® Styles for Teams)

"My co-workers didn't come with an instruction manual...they do now. DISC really helped me to understand what my peers need from me and what I need to do to get better results. This opens up a whole new world for me."
- Dionne Curtis, Marketplace Redwood (management organization of the Philadelphia International Airport)

This session allows team members to understand individual styles and group dynamics. Each person will complete his or her own behavioral profile. Utilizing the DISC behavioral model, people will receive individual reports that detail their styles. The team will also receive a group report that describes overall group strengths and potential blind spots.

Through dynamic interactive exercises, participants experience their styles as they play-out in a variety of situations, and have the opportunity to adjust behaviors to improve individual and team effectiveness. Fun, powerful, and immediately applicable in the workplace, this program provides the foundation for future development. The respect, teamwork, and trust fostered by this approach establish an environment in which all team members can thrive. DISC is truly an investment in understanding and managing differences.

The session will help team members:

• Build trust and respect between individuals
• Understand individual behavior and its impact on personal and group productivity and morale
• Improve communication by breaking down communication barriers
• Adapt behaviors based on the individuals they are working with
• Agree on the key challenges that inhibit optimal team performance
  

What Others Think of Our Why We Click with Some and Clank with Others:

The team had a lot of fun, met people they don’t usually work with, and learned new strategies for communicating. Several of my co-workers took the time to tell me how much fun they had and that they learned a lot more than they expected. Carla and Dave kept the activities far more interactive than I imagined and there was a high level of energy throughout the day. It was a success all around.

Our team building event was a not only great learning experience but also fun for my entire team. I was impressed with the way our facilitator, Heather, handled my rather boisterous group. The exercises revealed a lack of communication due to everyone trying to talk at once. Heather made it fun, while she revealed what I think she already knew after being with us for ten minutes. We are an aggressive sales team all trying to talk at the same time. And loudly I might add! A great learning experience with surprises.

We really enjoyed the activity “Why We Click With Some and Clank With Others”. By the end of the day not only were we all clicking but calling each other but the letter that identified us (i.e. D, I, S, or C). Dan was great and by adding his personal stories made everything relatable.
Ailyn Thurman, MetaCure (USA) Inc.

Your DISC presentation was extremely well done. You presented the content thoroughly, in a manner that made it relevant for the audience AND was enjoyable. There is an art to doing that and it is something that I greatly respect and appreciate. I have worked with the DiSC material with other groups. The element that I thought was a great upgrade to what I had seen previously was the use of the DiSC style to tailor and "sell" their message or concept to resonate with all.

Thank you so much for the wonderful day! Everyone found the session incredibly helpful. It was pretty amazing, after we understood the different styles, it gave us the language to use so that no one got offended. All I keep thinking is "what a great result- finally we can talk and accept each other without feelings getting hurt." I think this result will be so significant to the success of our program.
