Why do DISC and Behavioral Style Matter? What does it mean to "Open the Door to Communication?"

Have you ever been mis-managed by a boss or mis-coached? 

Have you ever thought,"If you were more like me then you would understand."

Do you prefer to "Talk to" or "Have a Conversation With" someone?

The DISC profile is one of the easiest way to learn about how each of us is different and how important this diversity is. Once we know ourselves, we can know others and we can "know the ropes" of adapting and flexing style to "Open the Door of Communication."

Understanding leads to Communication.

Communication leads to Relationships.

Relationships are the basis for  coaching, learning and change.

We likw to begin our coaching and consulting relationships with an evaluation and understanding of communication style for the coach and team members.


What happens under pressure?

 When we learn about style, we can learn to modify our style to fit various situations, on and off the field. 

For example, a Core I can learn to be more focused when playing sports and can learn to listen more intently to coaches and teammates.

A Core C can learn to speak up and talk to teammates more often. 

Under pressure we usually have difficulty maintaining a modified behavior.  When this happens, it takes a renewed, intentional effort to communicate and play most effectively.
