Building Greater Self-Awareness

Imagine getting ready in the morning without ever looking in the mirror. You may have one vision of your appearance in your head, but there's no telling what you actually look like. The same goes for our behavior. In our heads, we have an image of how our behavior comes across to others, but none of us ever has the complete picture of how our behavior effects others. In many cases, we just don't realize what's going one.

This course is designed to provide a framework that participants can use as a behavioral mirror. By introducing them to the DiSC model of human nature and clearly outlining some of the important ways in which people are unique, the program helps them explore different filters that people use to interpret others' behaviors and helps participants use feedback to build a concrete action plan for stronger relationships.

The major learning objectives of this workshop are:

  • Learn more about their personal style through the DiSC framework.
  • Appreciate the different ways in which their behavior can be interpreted by others.
  • Get specific, safe feedback about their behavior from others.
  • Identify interpersonal behaviors that they would like to change.
  • Develop strategies to build more effective relationships.
