My favorite coaching tool is DISC profiles.
Whats disc do?.
Disc predicts peoples behavior preferences, That’s behavior preference , not behavior.

The nice thing about DISC is that its easy to understand, and you can quickly observe people around you and get a basic understanding in a few hours training.

A party is a good place to see people acting in their normal behavior preferences.

Have you noticed some people just are happy to wait for other to talk to them, others are instant friends with everyone. These people will have a preference to be like this in all situations, its just that at work they may modify their behavior to suit the situation.

What are the benefits of knowing DISC?
• Appreciation and understanding of others differences.
• Reduce team conflict.
• Enhance teamwork.
• Reduce Staff turnover.
• Select the right person for the job more often.
• Be able to predict a persons likely behaviour in a given situation.

Disc stands for the 4 basic personalities.

• Dominance “D” direct and decisive, These are strong-willed, daring, like challenge, action, change, and excitement, eg Maggie Thatcher, Donald Trump.
• Influence “I” optimistic and outgoing, like to participate with others, share ideas, entertain, and be people-people.

  eg Bill Clinton, Will Smith
