The Essential Disc Training Workbook: Companion to the Disc Profile Assessment - Paperback

by Jason Hedge (Author)

In order to understand your relationships with other people, you must first understand yourself. Achievers throughout history have one thing in common-they know themselves. This means they don't underestimate what they can do, they don't sell themselves short and they know their own limitations. More importantly, by understanding themselves, they are able to develop plans to overcome their shortcomings and take full advantage of their strengths to improve their communication and effectiveness with others.The DISC Assessment measures observable behavior. Behaviors are the "how" of your life and are apparent in the things you do and how you act. Whether you know it or not, these behaviors are so predictable that to react differently requires conscious effort and focused attention. This workbook will not only walk you through the values of the four primary behavioral types, but will also introduce your Leadership Aptitudes. These Aptitudes highlight the strengths inherent in each dimension of your behavioral style. After completing this workbook, you will have a better understanding of yourself and the value others can add to your life.Includes a FREE mini-assessment that will introduce you to your DISC style.
