Understanding DISC and Motivators

The DISC Assessment measures observable behavior.  Basically, it helps explain how you behave and how that behavior impacts our communication with others.  The  Motivators Assessment shows you what motivates your decisions; essentially why you do what you do.  Together these tools offer powerful insight to your behavior. 

 

The benefits of the DISC include:

  • Increased confidence and self-awareness at an individual level;
  • Improved understanding and conflict prevention in personal situations, and
  • Enhanced effective team-building and increased commitment in work situations.

The benefits of Motivators include:

  • Understanding which attitudes will move you fastest toward your potential;
  • Insight to our values and judgements;
  • Ability to create win-win situations knowing our own motivating factors and understanding others;
