  The Power of Knowing YOU: Achieving Self-Awareness & Career Alignment through Everything DiSC 

  Program Description
  

  My career was a scramble, a fervent search for the next big project, assignment, or promotion. I wanted a souvenir from each place I traveled, a large team reporting to me, and an executive title.

  But that didn't make me a successful person. It made me a tired person.

  When my best friend looked me in the eye and said, "You look like burnt toast," I knew I had to make a change.

  I considered who I want to BE rather than what I wanted to HAVE. I want to be healthy. I want to be a great mom. I want to be a guide for others.

  Rather than focusing on external markers of success, I now concentrate on the qualities and experiences that shape my character and relationships. I align my actions and choices with my values and passions. I find purpose and fulfillment in the person I am becoming.

  By leveraging the insights and tools provided by Everything DiSC, I gained valuable self-awareness about what gives me energy - and what drains it, paving the way for making big shifts in my career. And you can too.

  In this immersive experience, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of your unique behavior style as revealed by Everything DiSC. Discover your strengths, communication preferences, and potential blind spots, allowing you to navigate relationships, professional interactions, and career shifts with newfound clarity.

  Session Details

  The experience includes:

  • Everything DiSC Assessment and a Your DiSC Profile Report for each participant
  • Professional facilitation by a Master Facilitator
  • 3.5 hour workshop
  • DiSC learning materials package for each participant
  • Lifetime access to the online platform containing DiSC learning content, comparison reports, group reports, videos, podcasts, and more
