Learn how to better communicate and achieve your goals
Understanding yourself is the foundation of success. Without clarity on what drives your actions and behaviors, fostering meaningful growth becomes a challenge. By uncovering what motivates you, you can identify the obstacles that might be holding you back and the traits, habits, and behaviors that push you forward. Taking a free DISC assessment provides you with a comprehensive profile that highlights how to harness different aspects of your personality to achieve success in harmony with your personal values.
The DISC personality test is perfect for anyone seeking deeper self-awareness. It offers valuable insights into your personality, helping you uncover limiting beliefs that may hinder your progress and develop strategies to break through barriers in any area of your life. While often used in team environments, the DISC assessment also fosters a shared language for understanding oneself and others, making it a powerful tool for personal growth and collaborative success.
Created by psychologist William Moulton Marston, the DISC assessment evaluates how individuals rank across four key personality traits: dominance, influence, steadiness, and conscientiousness. While everyone possesses these traits, their intensity varies from person to person. Importantly, none of the DISC personality traits are inherently good or bad. The assessment is nonjudgmental, offering valuable insights into how individuals handle conflict, solve problems, and understand their habits or work styles.
Over two million people have taken this quick, 15-minute assessment to gain a deeper understanding of their personality and behavior. It’s an excellent tool for individuals aiming to identify and maximize their strengths and motivators, as well as for organizations seeking to build high-performing teams.

Or improve communication within your team,
If yes, then DISC profiles can definitely help! DISC is the best-selling personality assessment that's transforming workplaces all around the world, maybe it could do the same for your business.
By recognising the behaviour patterns of yourself and your team you can finally understand why you do the things you do and why they do the things they do too.
Often conflict or work challenges aren't really an issue but more a mis-understanding, with DISC you are able to work through these challenges and have a great working environment.
You can't enhance your strengths or address your weaknesses without first understanding them. The DISC profile test boosts your self-awareness—your ability to objectively and realistically assess yourself—which serves as the foundation for success both professionally and personally.
Communication is the backbone of effective teamwork. The ability to recognize challenges, articulate them clearly, and collaborate on solutions that benefit everyone is essential for building strong teams—and, ultimately, for the success of your organization.
Understanding how each member of your team communicates allows you to spot potential conflicts before they arise and address the root causes more effectively when they do. The DISC profile test uncovers underlying personality differences that may contribute to team friction, helping you foster better collaboration and harmony.
With enhanced communication and conflict resolution, your teams will experience greater cohesion. Team members will gain a deeper understanding of themselves and each other, recognizing how their strengths and weaknesses complement one another to work more effectively together.
The ability to communicate effectively, build strong connections, and inspire others is essential for exceptional leadership. However, none of this is possible without a deep understanding of yourself and those you lead. By learning about the personalities and working styles of your team, you can unlock your full potential as a highly effective leader.
DISC profiles are particularly valuable for sales and customer service teams, as they often interact with a variety of personality types. By understanding both their own personality traits and those of their audience, team members can create genuine, human connections that prospects and customers truly appreciate.
Blaming the boss, blaming the employees, blaming the customers. When you take the time to understand each other and work with each other your business environment becomes great, your business rockets and your overall health improves, first step is to tackle the elephant in the room (and that's where DISC profiles will help)
Understanding your own DISC style and learning how to adapt the way you communicate to other DISC types can have a huge impact on your relationships with team members and customers.
So with that, can you see why teams are sometimes not so aligned? Imagine a D profile who's aim is to get task done quickly working alongside a C profile who wants to take the time to get the same task done slowly. You can already see the potential challenges/ arguments/ dissatisfaction this could bring.
By recognising each profile you can form an understanding with each of your work colleagues knowing that they too are committed but just have a different way of working. DISC is how you align your team and have a way of moving forward with great people.
Never knew there was even problems in my business until I spoke to Carl and he suggested we do the DISC profiles, I'm so grateful that he did, so much came out that I was able to sort immediately and we are so much more productive because of it.

Never heard of DISC Profiles, thought of it as a waste of time, but 30 mins in I could see why people behave like they do, open up my mind and changed the way i see people. So much a better manager for it.
Jess Morland, Manager, Telephonica
We just did a Team Building exercise with Carl Shoemaker which was awesome! We looked at the importance of the team and how to improve the performance, Win/Win all round.

You can't argue that a brilliant team is one that is aligned and on the same page, delivering your awesome product or service over and over all in the right way. Success breads positivity but it's not always easy to get there. DISC profiles sets the foundations by letting you understand each other and know that you are there for the business as much as the next person. It stops arguments, challenges, complaints and resets the team to greatness.
