Maxwell DISC
What this programme helps you work on.
A keynote can give an organisation a shared starting point for discussing behavioural differences. This introduction to DISC explores why people may approach the same task or message differently. It invites participants to recognise a familiar pattern and consider one useful adjustment in their next conversation.

Inside the programme
What you’ll explore.

An example to work through
Think of a colleague who often asks for more information than you expect. Before the next conversation, clarify what they need and adapt the amount or organisation of detail you provide.
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.

- One adjustment to try in an upcoming conversation.
The learning experience
How it works.
The keynote introduces behavioural differences through explanation and relatable examples, with a practical prompt for personal application. Audience needs, presentation length and any discussion time are agreed in advance. A personal report or individual debrief is a separate option to discuss.
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.
