Using Personality Profiles for Better Work Performance

Learn how to enhance your communication, convey your ideas effectively, and understand what matters to others—even those with different personality styles. In this course, you’ll analyze the four styles of the DiSC Profile—Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Compliance—and develop action plans for communicating successfully with each type.

Your course fee includes your own DiSC Behavioral Personality Profile assessment and a personalized review.

This course is included in the Certificate in Workplace Communication course.
