Method: DiSC

The DISC model is a simple yet powerful tool that helps us understand different behavioural styles – how we tend to communicate, make decisions, and respond to pressure. It stands for Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. Each style brings its own strengths and blind spots, and most of us are a mix. For example, some people are naturally direct and fast-paced, while others are more reflective and steady. DISC helps us recognise these patterns in ourselves and in others, which is a game-changer for leadership.

As a leader, your ability to build trust, adapt your communication, and motivate others depends on how well you understand people. The DISC model gives you a practical language for that. It allows you to meet your team where they are, reduce friction, and bring out the best in different personalities. It’s not about boxing people in, it’s about tuning in. And when leaders do that well, relationships improve, performance lifts, and teams thrive.
