Rochester - DiSC as a Strategic Advantage: Read People, Adapt Faster, Influence Others

DiSC as a Strategic Advantage: Read People, Adapt Faster, Influence Others

This fastpaced, highimpact session gives participants a practical, immediately usable understanding of DiSC, not as a label, as a strategic tool for observing behavior in people, adapting with intention, and influencing without authority.

Participants will learn how to recognize behavioral cues, flex their approach across different situations, and leverage the diverse strengths of their colleagues to drive better communication, collaboration, and results.

This session is designed for anyone who wants to elevate their impact by adapting to diverse workstyles—and building stronger connections.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Notice how people show up to understand their likely DiSC style
2. See their DiSC style as a foundation to flex from—not a boundary
3. Adapt their approach to connect and influence others – even without direct authority
4. Build a culture where differences are strategic assets, not obstacles
