What this programme helps you work on.
Connection depends partly on recognising how the other person prefers to receive and discuss information. These DISC companion mastermind materials bring behavioural preferences into a conversation about communication. Participants explore how to adapt a message while keeping its purpose and meaning clear.
Who it suits
Groups exploring communication with a DISC perspective.
The focus
Connection, communication and behavioural preferences.
Inside the programme
What you’ll explore.
These themes guide the learning. The depth and selection depend on the format and the needs you bring.
Explore behavioural preferences
Consider differences in pace, detail and interaction, and check your assumptions with the person involved.
Adapt without losing the message
Practise changing the structure or delivery of a message while preserving the essential expectation or request.
Reflect on the response
Notice what helped understanding and choose what you would repeat or adjust in another conversation.
From ideas to action
Put it into practice.
Practise adapting a message to the person receiving it.
An example to work through
Prepare the same project update for two colleagues with different information needs. Keep the decision clear in both versions and practise asking whether the message gives each person what they need.
This is an example of local application. We adapt the discussion to your situation and agreed scope.
Your practical takeaways
What you’ll work towards.
- A communication goal connected to a specific relationship.
- A message adapted to the recipient’s needs.
- A question for checking understanding and improving the next exchange.
The learning experience
How it works.
Facilitated learning combines explanation, discussion and reflection on participants’ own situations. Where the agreed format allows, you practise an application and decide what to try at work. Scope, duration and any follow-up are agreed around the group’s needs.
DISC describes behavioural preferences and supports discussion. It is not a clinical diagnosis or a complete judgement of ability or suitability for a role. Report inclusion and the debrief format are confirmed for the engagement.
