"DISCover Actions to Improve Project Team Performance"

Presentation Description

In October 2023, we discussed the four basic styles in DISC and which style you are. This month, it's all about taking that to the next level. DISC is powerful when put into action. It goes beyond understanding our behavior to recognizing other people's behavior. Then, you can improve communication and match their buying style. We are all always selling and buying, so let's do it so people feel we care and are connected.

Presentation Objectives

This session will be interactive, and hands-on with breakout groups and some exercises.
