DiSC Certification Explained

Everything you need to know about becoming DiSC Certified. Full transcript and more information:https://www.confidentcommunicator.com/disc-and-5-behavior-certification Hi, I'm Dan Kaplan, and I am an Authorized Partner with Wiley, one of the companies that offer the DiSC assessment. I made this video to help explain the DiSC certification process because it's really not all that clear on other websites. In this video, I've included answers to questions that I get from people seeking to become DiSC certified. There's a transcription below along with my email if you have any questions. First, I will explain why I think DiSC is the most effective behavioral assessment, particularly for communications training. Second, I'll explain some of the advantages of working with Wiley over other providers of DiSC. Then I’ll talk about what an Authorized Provider, like myself, is, and how we can support you as you become certified. I'll give an overview of what the DiSC certification program is and what you can do with it. Then I'll cover what's included in the certification course, including the number of hours that you'll be required to commit to the training, how the training works, and what you get, as part of becoming DiSC certified. Why is DiSC The Best Behavioral Assessment? I’m often asked, why is DiSC better than Myers Briggs or Enneagram, or Predictive Index, or many of the other dozens and dozens of behavioral assessments out on the market? First of all, DiSC is more helpful when it comes to communications. It's over 70 years old, and not only is considered one of the most scientifically accurate assessments on the market, but it’s also used by thousands of organizations to help people communicate better -- not just to understand themselves (as the other assessments do), but to understand their coworkers, and find better ways to communicate and build relationships. In my opinion, the number one reason is that it's applicable. When you become certified in DiSC, you'll be able to teach people how to use it in an afternoon or less. There are only four styles. So it's simple. It's not like Myers Briggs, where you have to remember all these letters, and then three weeks after the training, you've completely forgotten everything. Another reason is the tools that Wiley offers you as a practitioner, such as the facilitation kits, videos, and of course the Catalyst e-learning platform. Nobody else on the market has anything like this. It's filled with videos and podcasts and interactive activities, things that your learners can use to actually apply DiSC in their everyday interactions.
