Teaching Specialist in Coaching
“[DISC] helps my students grasp the different styles of individuals they will probably come in to contact with. And while everyone is not one specific style, it helps them understand or start to think about relationships they have in their own lives and why they get along better with some people over others. It is so cool to see how students implement DISC in our classroom discussion and point out specific behaviors they see in others that relate to how they need to communicate with that individual.”
