DiSC® internal training: “Understand yourself to understand others”
Introduction
As part of the training’s preparatory work, each participant will receive a personalized DiSC® profile to begin with a deeper understanding of themselves.
During the training, participants will learn about their own behavioral style and its impact on others, as well as other DiSC® behavioral types. This helps to better interpret and handle everyday situations. Additionally, participants will gain insights into their reactions to other people’s behavior.

As a Result
After completing the training, participants will have a better understanding of their natural behavior, the ability to adapt their behavior to different situations and people, an increased understanding of others, and a clear awareness of their strengths, motivators, and areas for development.
The training curriculum is tailored to the specific needs of the client.
