So what is it about?
We help managers and their teams discover the strengths of their personalities and communicate better.
The unanimous observation
Everyone is unique and perceives the world from their own perspective. Everyone communicates and behaves in their own unique way.
As a result, we all repeat the same communication mistake: talking to others as we would like them to talk to us. Yet it would be wiser to communicate with them according to their communication preferences.
The golden rule
It is essential to adjust to your interlocutor, which implies knowing and understanding their profile. In long-term relationships, this understanding comes naturally over time. On the other hand, in short-term interactions, it can be more complex.
Good managers do this instinctively. Based on their advice and experience, our specialists were able to determine the main behavioral and communication profiles, leading to the creation of the DISC model.
Identifying P4 profiles
This assessment tool is used to enhance productivity, teamwork and communication skills. It focuses on the analysis of behavioral and communication styles.
It is important to stress that this is not an IQ test. It is not intended to assess intelligence, aptitude, skills, mental health or personal values. Instead, P4 profiles describe human reactions and behaviors in various contexts, such as when they are dealing with stress, facing challenges, in crisis or following procedures...
The goal
A thorough understanding of one's own profile and that of one's contacts is the key to more effective oral and written communication. This knowledge facilitates the appropriate distribution of tasks and objectives and helps identify needs and constraints, among other things. What's more, it can be used to build the right teams by selecting their members according to the context.
What is DISC?
A framework for understanding human behavior.
The DISC in four letters
DISC, an acronym for Dominant, Influential, Steady, and Conscientious, is a powerful framework for interpreting and understanding how a person reacts to and interacts with their environment.DISCp4 profiles are typically presented as a wheel divided into four sections, each representing one of the components: Dominant (red), Influential (yellow), Steady (green), and Conscientious (blue). Each section has its own characteristics, but adjacent ones share common traits. For example, Dominant (D) and Influential (I) profiles are generally associated with extroverted traits.
Origins
The model was proposed following the work of psychologist William M. Marston. In 1928, he published "Emotions of Normal People", a work that remains influential, explaining how emotions lead to differences in behavior between individuals and how these behaviors can evolve over time.Marston explained that the expression of emotions could be classified into four primary components, stemming from how a person perceives themselves in relation to their environment. These four components are the ones represented in the DISCp4 wheel.
Adapted vs. Natural
In addition to the four components, the DISC model distinguishes between two behavioral styles.The Adapted style corresponds to our “public self,” that is, the image we project in response to our environment. Jung referred to it as “the mask”: a version of ourselves shaped to fit external expectations, social roles, and situational constraints.
The Natural style reflects our “private self,” that is, the most instinctive part of our personality, which emerges naturally when we are not trying to adapt. It reveals our deeper behavioral tendencies, often unconscious.
