About The Programme
Personality Styles
Each person is born with their own unique temperaments, characters and qualities. These three aspects influence their motivation, preferences and behaviour, here is where the DISC Personality System comes into play.
The DISC Personality System is a tool to assist individuals, corporate bodies and organizations increase their effectiveness by helping them identify intrinsic motivators in their team members and, hence, capitalizing on strengths, recognizing key limitations and blind spots in different personality styles.
Based on the work of William Moulton Marston PhD (1893 - 1947), DISC is a four-quadrant behavioural model that works to examine the behaviours of individuals within their environment and specific situation. People of similar styles tend to display common behavioural characteristics. While everyone share these four personality styles in different degrees of intensity, most would have different personality ‘blends’.
The acronym DISC stands for: Dominant, Influencing, Steady and Compliant -- which are the four personality styles.

Why Should You Enroll?
The are many ways in which the strategic use of behaviour profiling can benefit individuals, teams and organisations, such as:
Positive and Productive Teamwork
The DISC Personality Profiling System enables you to understand other people’s personality styles and motivations, giving you an insight on why others behave the way they do. Having an insight on other personality styles allows you to communicate more effectively by modifying your behaviour to appeal to styles which are different from yours. When there is a lack of understanding, we tend to misunderstand comments and actions.
Effective Communications & Feedback
Understanding personality styles can help mitigate potential problems by having an insight on an individual’s preferred communication style. Once you are aware of an individual’s preferred style, you can adapt your own communication mode to make communications more effective. This will ensure the desired outcome is achieved through minimising miscommunication.
Personal Development
It’s no secret that people often excel and thrive in job roles that are a good match for their skills and natural behaviour style. The personality style profile can identify and highlight management and leadership qualities, detail-oriented and organisational skills, natural sales ability, personal service and team-player tendencies.
Communication Style Language
The DISC Personality Style depicts the universal language of behaviours and emotions. By understanding each person’s unique personality blend, the organisation can have a common language of open communication between colleagues, family members and friends, focusing on the strengths and values that each bring to the team/relationship.
