Free DiSC teleclass
Are you wondering what the heck DiSC is and how you can use it in your coaching and facilitation practice? Join Michele Woodward and me on April 3rd at 3:30 PM EST for a free teleclass. I'll be sharing the transformation of DiSC over the last 60 years, describe the four styles and show you ways to utilize DiSC in your coaching and facilitation practice. There is no assessment that is easier to get started with. Just message or email me to sign up. We'll be recording the class so don't worry if you can't make it in "real" time.
