“Get over the idea that only children should spend their time in study.  Be a student so long as you still have something to learn, and this will mean all your life.” 
~Henry L. Doherty

DiSC - Insights:

The DiSC concept is based on the work of prominent psychologist William Moulton Marston in 1928, and then further developed by John Geier. It is used by thousands of organizations around the world and is generally considered to be the most effective behavioural assessments available.

With over 35 years of proven reliability and over 44 million users, DiSC Classic remains the most trusted learning instrument in the industry. It is used worldwide in dozens of training and coaching applications, including organizational development and performance improvement.
Our DiSC – Insights workshop is designed to complement and supplement existing training programs, DiSC can help improve communication, ease frustration and conflict, and develop effective leaders and teams.

SET THE STANDARD FOR SELF-UNDERSTANDING

DiSC Dimensions of Behaviour provide a nonjudgmental language for exploring behavioural issues across four primary dimensions:

• Dominance: Direct and Decisive. D's are strong-willed, strong-minded people who like accepting challenges, taking action, and getting immediate results.
• influence: Optimistic and Outgoing. I's are "people people" who like participating on teams, sharing ideas, and energizing and entertaining others.
• Steadiness: Sympathetic and Cooperative. S's are helpful people who like working behind the scenes, performing in consistent and predictable ways, and being good listeners.
• Conscientiousness: Concerned and Correct. C's are sticklers for quality and like planning ahead, employing systematic approaches, and checking and re-checking for accuracy.

BRING OUT THE BEST IN YOUR SELF AND OTHERS

DiSC – Insights can help employees at all levels:

• understand their own behaviour
• learn how and when to adapt their behaviour
• improve communication
• promote appreciation of differences
• enhance individual and team performance
• reduce conflict

Our DiSC – Insights workshop typically runs for 3 – 4 hours depending on the size of the group.

The FISH! Philosophy is a set of simple, practical tools to help you create the work culture you’ve been looking for. It’s a way to build stronger relationships that equip you to face your challenges more effectively. The FISH! Philosophy fulfills the most basic needs of human beings who, in turn, fulfill the needs of the organization—more connected teams, better communication, extraordinary service and higher retention.

FISH is a way of life. It is a set of simple, interconnected principals that everyone can tailor to their own life and work. It is about choice. When one chooses to make these principals part of their life, no matter what is going on around them or where they are in their life’s journey, they will notice a positive difference in their relationships and within themselves. When people are at choice they take more accountability for the type of life they want. A shift in beliefs and behaviours often starts with just one person and attracts others. When a community of people commit to it together, the effect is powerful, creating a higher quality of life at work. That is FISH!

The FISH workshop is not a program that can be imposed or mandated. It is not meant as a way to “fix” others. It’s not a bandage to cover problems such as lack of trust or responsibility. It is not a replacement for strategy, tactics, experience, continuing education, or hard work. It is not a guarantee against the quickly changing environments within a work place. It’s not a magic pill. It doesn’t happen over night.

FISH workshops can be customized from 4 hours to a full day session.
