Workshop Session:  Understanding DiSC®:  Strengthening Communication, Leadership, and Relationships

Session Description:

This DiSC® workshop is designed to strengthen interpersonal effectiveness by helping participants better understand themselves and others in the workplace. Through guided discussion, reflection, and hands-on activities, attendees will explore how personality styles influence communication, leadership, and relationships, with a focus on improving collaboration, resolving conflict, and fostering inclusive and respectful environments.

Participants will gain a clear understanding of what DiSC is, why it matters for leaders, and how it can be used as a practical tool to navigate day-to-day interactions. The workshop emphasizes awareness of microaggressions and unconscious behaviors, supporting leaders in recognizing the impact of their words, actions, and assumptions on others. Through self-reflection and real-world application, participants will discover their unique leadership style and learn how it shapes decision-making, communication, and team dynamics.

By the end of the workshop, attendees will be better equipped to identify the DiSC styles of those they lead and work with, adapt their approach to different styles, and build stronger, more productive relationships.
