Tip # 1 – Address all four DiSC® Personality Styles equally
All DiSC® Personality Styles are of equal value and needed. Give credence and affirmation to all styles. Check your own bias at the door. Avoid using judgmental language. The goal is to honor, value and appreciate differences.
Tip # 2 – Plan and organize your DiSC® Personality Styles presentation
Make your activities meet your objectives. Be aware of your participant DiSC® Profile knowledge level. Are they new to DiSC® Personality Styles or do they have some experience. Avoid trying to teach too much in too little time. Too much at one time is like trying to drink from a fire hose.

A place where participants can be open and honest. Let individuals know they are their own authority about themselves. They are their own best judge on their behavioral style. Model the use of non-judgmental language – all DiSC® Profile Styles are equal and valuable.
Tip # 4: – Become a DiSC® Personality Styles expert! Invest in yourself!
Deepen your education and polish your personal delivery. It will increase and enhance your credibility. Collaborate & shadow a skilled DiSC® Practitioner as a coach/mentor. Perfect your presentation and make stories relevant. Use videotaping to perfect your presentation.
Tip # 5 – Learn and teach how to “make learning Stick!”
Build in follow up after the training. Teach how to apply personally and professionally; at work, home and socially. Use in-class practice-teach opportunities to anchor the learning. Have participants sell an object, or persuade an opposite style to a new way of thinking or performing. Create accountability partners back at work. Use action planners and or comparison reports for follow up activities.
