DiSC® Assessment through certified provider, DiSC Simple

Engaging workbooks

DiSC® measures various dimensions of your personality, to help you understand yourself better and be a better leader.

Developed by psychologist William Moulton Marston, the DiSC® assessment examines how an individual ranks in the four primary personality types – dominance, influence, steadiness and conscientiousness.

Everyone has these four characteristics, but the strength of each varies depending on the person. None of the DiSC®personality traits are inherently positive or negative. The test and results are nonjudgmental and help those who take it respond to conflict, resolve problems and discover what lies behind their common habits or working styles.

The workplace report focuses on building self-awareness and peer relationships, and the management report supports leaders in building positive relationships with team members and develops leadership capabilities.

I help managers and leaders from all walks of life, all industries, sectors and territories. They are all high-performers who want to accelerate their growth and be the best leader they can be. They are all self-aware enough to know they'd like to do some professional development and they have a sense of humour.
