Description

DISC is a model of human behaviour that helps you to understand why people do what they do.

The dimensions of Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance make up the model and interact with other personality factors to describe human behaviour.

This online course has been created to help you apply DISC behavioural principles to working as part of a team or in situations that involve influencing and selling.

By understanding your inherent behavioural style and then learning how to determine and appropriately react to the buying styles of your team members, customers and clients, you will be better able to communicate, motivate, convince and ultimately influence more buying decisions. It will help you to develop more engaging relationships.

Everybody has their own style based around their behavioural preferences. Each person instinctively acts according to their inherent style. Team members will act out their styles in team working. Customers will act out their styles in buying situations. Salespeople will feel more comfortable selling according to their natural style.

Being able to identify the behavioural style of other people will give you valuable insights that you can use to establish rapport, open lines of communication, build trust, motivate and influence. Ways to work with each behavioural style will be explored along with techniques to enhance and improve your interactions leading to better communication.

The course goes into detail about

  • The four behavioural styles of DISC

  • Each style's strengths and liabilities

  • Do's and don'ts when interacting with High Dominance

  • Do's and don'ts when interacting with High Influence

  • Do's and don'ts when interacting with High Steadiness

  • Do's and don'ts when interacting with High Compliance

  • How to assess a person's nonverbal communication

  • Gaining a greater sensitivity to others around you


This online course will give you some insights BUT developing your influencing skills will take you time and a lot of effort, and even then, you are not going to get it right all the time!!

This course will, also, be of interest to you if you have completed a DISC Behavioural assessment in the past and would like a refresher. You may have discovered your Behavioural Style through a work-based training programme, by completing a questionnaire or through general interest. Your Behavioural Style is a blend of all four styles, but one is usually dominant. It all made sense at the time, but you have forgotten what it all means and how relevant it can be to how you engage with other people.

This course will, also, be of interest to you if you lead or manage a team and are looking at ways to build understanding and develop relationships leading to more rewarding interactions and high performance. It will give you an understanding of the relevance of Behavioural Styles and how they can be put to work.

Provided within the course is a questionnaire gives you a good indication of your dominant style(s). The course also contains loads of material for you to download and use to with your interactions with others to help with your learning.

This course is in depth and is certainly applicable to me at work.

I've always battled with identifying Diversity & Inclusion - and clearly identifying the styles. This has helped tremendously and is succinct.

Sonya C.

Excellent information about the DISC assessment. It gave me a better understand and I could see myself and teammates within this course.

Rachel C.

I have discovered few things about myself and my behaviour through the videos and explanation, I immediately thought about co-workers and myself in specific situations and how it could have been handled.

Jackeline H.

Well done course. DISC was described clearly and effectively with good practical advice as well.

Rob C.

Great course. I have in the past faced tough situations with my least preferred behavioural style people and more often than not I had to loose my job due to lack of conflict management. With this course, I have learnt (in fact started to learn) how to manage relationships with people having those behavioural types with more perseverance, observation, practice and getting along with them using the required techniques as described. The practical sessions are very important to be followed and practiced to get full benefits of the course. I will have to re-watch the content more often to be able to practice them in real life. It was really a wonderful life experience with this course. I am really enlightened. I will surely recommend this course to anyone struggling to succeed in dealing with workplace behavioural issues.

Kaustubha G.

It goes way more in depth than I had in mind when I first bought the course. It is a robust and concise crash course on the basics of DISC.

Juan Carlos G.

The course gave me a understanding about myself and others (why they behave in certain way). The course met my expectations, but I need to practice it to get best out of it.
