Unlocking Team Potential: Understanding Yourself and Others Through DISC (in-person in Jackson)

Workshop Description:
Effective leadership starts with understanding—both yourself and the people you lead. This interactive workshop introduces the DISC behavioral assessment as a practical tool for building more inclusive, supportive, and high-performing teams (not just nonprofit teams). Leaders and participants will gain insights into individual communication styles, decision-making preferences, and work habits, helping them adapt their approach to meet the diverse needs of their team members.

*Workshop registration closes 1-week earlier to allow time for assessment completion and collection. 

Through hands-on activities, discussion, and reflection, participants will learn to: 

• Identify their own DISC profile and understand how it shapes their leadership style.
• Recognize and appreciate the behavioral styles of their team members.
• Communicate more effectively with individuals across different DISC types.
• Foster psychological safety, inclusion, and collaboration within their teams.
• Apply DISC insights to real-world team challenges to improve engagement and performance.
