Using DISC to Decode and Diminish Conflict (OLC)

Course overview

DISC is a behavior assessment tool based on the DISC theory of psychologist William Moulton Marston, which centers of four different behavioral traits: dominance, influence, steadiness, and conscientiousness. No one trait is considered either good or bad, just different. DISC has been successfully used to provide a framework for understanding and highlighting individual strengths as well as addressing potential blind spots. To understand others, we must first understand ourselves and then seek to understand. Participants will learn about the four personality types and complete a brief self-evaluation to learn about and understand their preferences. In addition to lecture, participants will be provided with scenarios, break into small groups, and given the opportunity to apply DISC on how to find a path forward that is neither emotional nor judgmental.
