Every graph tells a story.
Each of us has a preferred style of behavior and communication. Real power comes with the ability to identify the styles of others, and flex your behavior to communicate and collaborate in the most effective way.
​
DISC is a powerful tool for building High Performing Teams, and the Take Flight model with the Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl is widely recognized as being memorable – and fun too!
​
Teambuilding workshops are available both on-site and virtually. Individual and Team Assessments are also available, and training is customized to meet your specific goals.
The DISC Personality Profile
No more stuffy reports filled with jargon and stock images! The Taking Flight with DISC Profile is designed to provide visual cues to help you remember your style.
​
The profile offers behavioral insights to help increase self-awareness and improve how individuals relate to others. Each unique, custom report also contains valuable information about how to flex to the needs of others.
​
Executive Lift clients use the assessment as part of their hiring and onboarding, for individual coaching, and for teambuilding.
Taking Flight with EQ
Emotional Intelligence, often referred to as EI or EQ, refers to our ability to perceive, recognize, evaluate, understand, and control our emotions.
​
Unlike personality, EQ can be boosted through increased awareness and practice. And in study after study, researchers have found that EQ is a powerful predictor and driver of success.
​
Participants in the EQ Workshop will be able to:
-
Define Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
-
Discover the four Components and 18 Talents of EQ
-
Understand EQ through the lens of the four styles
-
Understand how emotions and style impact effectiveness
-
Practice these skills and set goals to drive impact
ReDISCovering Conflict
Not all conflict is bad!
Through a series of interactive exercises and discussions, ReDISCovering Conflict participants gain a deeper understanding of their own approach to managing conflict. They develop awareness into how their own style may be creating expectations for them about how conflict should be addressed.
The Chameleon Conflict Model helps people understand the type of conflict they should be engaging in. You also learn key questions to ask to help resolve each form of conflict from both a personal and organizational perspective.
​
Participants will learn to:
-
Identify when style is an underlying cause of conflict
-
Recognize why each style embraces or avoids conflict
-
Employ strategies to manage conflict tactics used by each style
-
Shift from placing blame to fixing the problem
-
Flex their style to bridge to others during conflict
​
