DiSC workshops are excellent for teams and groups when colleagues who work virtually gather in-person. DiSC workshops can also be delivered virtually and are well suited for teams that work remotely. We include check-ins after the initial session so learning is reinforced, and we often use DiSC as a foundation for a broader development series.

Example CliftonStrengths meeting for a West End Partners Client

West End Partners has run many DiSC workshops for both small and large groups. Here’s the story behind one of our recent engagements:

CHALLENGE

The legal contracts team at a fast growing, global biotech company based in the SF Bay was having internal communication issues. There were often miscommunications because of work styles and communication preferences with those they supported within the broader company. Collectively, they wanted to improve how they worked within the team and across the functions that they supported as internal clients.

SOLUTION

Based on the situation, West End suggested using the DiSC Workplace as a tool to help the team understand their individual communication preferences, and how their preferences came together as a team. We designed and facilitated an interactive half-day workshop that provided an opportunity for participants to understand what made their communication style unique and how those meshed with others on their team and across the organization.

To maintain engagement, we used exercises in which people could experience visceral reactions to being with people who share the similar preferences and those who don’t. In order to make it applicable in their ongoing work, we provided tools to help identify the other peoples’ preferences and practical ways to adjust to them.

RESULTS

As part of our design, we include followups to reinforce and sustain the learning in the months that follow.

What is DiSC®?

DiSC is a simple, yet powerful model that describes four basic styles: D, i, S, and C. Participants receive personalized insights that deepen their understanding of self and others, making workplace interactions more enjoyable and effective. The result is a more engaged and collaborative workforce that can spark meaningful culture improvement in your organization.

The assessment-based model is backed by over 40 years of research, and it is used by companies of all sizes and across industries.

What does DiSC stand for?

The letters in DiSC stand for the four basic styles of the model.

  • D - Dominance
  • i - Influence
  • S - Steadiness
  • C - Conscientiousness

In reality, everyone is a blend of all four styles, so the DiSC model uses your priorities to identify your personal preferences and how they guide your communication with others. In practice, the DiSC model is simple, but powerful.

Why Use a DiSC Meeting Facilitator?

It’s hard enough to run a meeting but it can be downright impossible to both run a meeting and take part in the exercises.

Using a DiSC-certified facilitator like West End Partners helps everyone, including you, to be fully focused on the task at hand, making the most of your time together.

Plus, being a DiSC certified partner gives us the ability to give you access to valujable tools and insights that you can continue to use after the workshop.

These include:

  • Comparison Reports: This tool helps any two participants to compare and contrast their DiSC results and provides practical tips for improving their working relationship.
  • Team View: There’s no limit to the number of team members that can join. This report gives you an at-a-glance view of a group of participants and their individual Everything DiSC maps.
  • Group Culture Report This report reveals a group’s DiSC culture by exploring each style’s advantages and disadvantages, impact on group members, and influence on decision making and risk-taking.

The Takeaways from a DiSC Workshop

  • Participants will discover their own DiSC® style and recognize the priorities, motivators, and stress triggers that shape their workplace experience.
  • Participants explore other styles: understand the differences and similarities among the DiSC styles that are represented in their organization.
  • Participants identify strategies to make more meaningful connections with colleagues of various styles and work more effectively to reduce tension, solve problems, and contribute positively to their teams and the organization.
