John Maxwell DiSC Leadership Analysis
What it is
DiSC is a powerful personality and leadership style assessment tool that provides valuable insight into how you approach work, communicate, and solve problems.
Clients consistently find two aspects of this analysis especially impactful.
First is the clear, evidence-based description of your leadership strengths. Imagine applying for a new position and being in a job interview where you can confidently articulate your strengths, backed by data that supports your claims. This clarity also helps in day-to-day leadership, making it easier to decide which tasks to take on personally and which to delegate to others whose strengths and passions align with the work.
Second is the guidance on communication both how you prefer to be communicated with and how to adapt your style when communicating with colleagues whose profiles differ from your own. This insight fosters clarity, reduces misunderstandings, and strengthens team cohesion.
By understanding both your style and the styles of those around you, you can build stronger relationships, improve collaboration, and elevate performance across your team.

Ongoing leadership support sessions
Working through the DiSC Profile and leadership strengths with Kate allowed our Senior Leadership Team to reflect on our own leadership styles as well as gain a better understanding of the other leadership styles within our team. It reinforced things we already knew we had but it also introduced us to new styles which we learnt more about.
The one-on-one sessions with Kate to discuss our predominant leadership styles were very worthwhile. As is coming together as a Senior Leadership Team at the end to discuss how our leadership styles can complement each other as a team. I found this process an effective way to reflect on oneās leadership practice and also to identify potential shortcomings which can be attached to our areas of strengths.

Having Kate come in and discuss the results of our DISC profiling was incredibly beneficial for our senior leadership team. It gave us a fresh perspective on each other's ways of thinking and helped us understand that there are many different ways to lead. This knowledge has truly strengthened our team. It confirmed what we already suspected: our strengths complement each other. What one person is weaker in is another's strength. The session also reinforced to me that you don't need a domineering personality to be an effective leader.

Using the DiSC profiler helped me gain an understanding around my strengths and weaknesses. It did highlight some surprises, and these were beneficial to understanding how I relate and work with my team. I particularly took notice of the āconsider using the communication approachā. As I move through interacting with co-workers, I use this as a starting point of structuring a conversation. I was also pleased to see that we as a Senior Leadership team can support each other through our strengths.

My Passion
Ā
The DiSC Leadership profile has been the most effective tool I have encountered for gaining a deep understanding of my own leadership style, my communication approach, and how to work with others in ways that are both effective and respectful.
I am passionate about helping people see themselves and each other more clearly. The insights and understanding as a result of a DiSC leadership analysis, can transform the effectiveness of an individual and the cohesion a group.Ā
A DiSC leadership profile is more than a personality snapshot, itās a mirror that reflects your strengths, highlights blind spots, and opens the door to more authentic leadership.
I love watching leaders experience those ālightbulb momentsā when they understand why certain interactions work smoothly and others feel like a struggle, why they react in certain ways to situations. Ā From the results of the analysis leaders can see the most effective ways to communicate with colleagues who have a different profile.Ā We all tend to communicate with others in the way the works best for us, but that does not work best for your colleagues of a different profile.
When teams embrace these insights, they shift from misunderstanding and frustration to genuine trust, respect, and collaboration. Itās not just about improving workplace harmony itās about unlocking potential, boosting performance, and creating a culture where every voice is valued.
