The aim of this half-day facilitated session is to allow teams to explore together how their differing DiSC® styles can affect their response to change, as well as how they can work together to utilise their different workplace priorities to formulate a strategic approach to these responses. Understanding our different DiSC® styles helps people managers and their teams navigate challenges more effectively. By leveraging the strengths of each style, people managers can maintain alignment within the team and minimise confusion or resistance during times of change or transition.

This short LinkedIn Learning course starts by outlining the common psychological responses that can be brought about by change. The introduction explains how, during these times, we often feel panic and fear, and so the brain works to put our guard up and latch on to what we know and feel safe with.
The course then provides techniques and strategies you can use to reframe your go-to response to what the brain sees as a ‘threat’. Finding things that are still well within our control can actually help us to not only survive change, but thrive during these times. Five key areas are explored in a very practical way - Well-Being; Community; Skills; Career and Environment.
The course is 28 minutes long, with simple knowledge checks after each section.
