DiSC Reinforcement Tips

Research conducted by Olivero, Bane, and Kopelman found that “Training increased productivity of 22.4%. In contrast, training plus coaching increased productivity by 88%”

As you can see in the statistic above, training alone is effective but when you add in additional coaching, the results are tremendous.  As a facilitator you may often think to yourself about the “what’s next” after a training session.  What can you do to ensure what you taught sticks with the attendees and they use it as a part of their work environment.  You want to keep people excited about DiSC and continuously see the benefits. 

Below you will find some suggestions that we would like to offer to you that you can use in your organization to reinforce DiSC long after the session has wrapped up.
