  • 1:00-1:30 DiSC Assessment
    • The DiSC Assessment is a widely used personality assessment tool designed to help individuals understand their behavioral styles and improve workplace communication, teamwork, and leadership. Based on four primary personality traits—Dominance (D), Influence (I), Steadiness (S), and Conscientiousness (C)—the DiSC model provides insights into how people respond to challenges, interact with others, and approach work tasks. By identifying personal strengths and communication preferences, the DiSC Assessment helps individuals and teams foster better relationships, reduce conflicts, and enhance productivity.
