Psychometric Profiling

“The best strategy for building a competitive organization is to help individuals become more of who they are.” ~ Marcus Buckingham

In today’s fast-paced and competitive business environment, understanding people is key to driving individual, team, and organisational success. Psychometric profiling using the Extended DISC® system offers an invaluable tool for gaining deeper insights into personality traits, communication styles, and behavioral tendencies.

At its core, Extended DISC® is a behavioural assessment tool that identifies a person’s natural and adapted behavioural styles. Unlike traditional DISC® assessments, Extended DISC® provides a more nuanced understanding by highlighting unconscious behaviours and the gap between natural tendencies and workplace adaptations.

Why use Extended DISC® in Coaching?

  1. Self-Awareness: The foundation of personal growth is understanding oneself. Extended DISC® helps individuals uncover their strengths, potential development areas, and the way they react under pressure.
  2. Improved Communication: Miscommunication is one of the most common challenges in teams. By understanding the behavioural styles of colleagues, team members can communicate more effectively and avoid unnecessary conflicts.
  3. Team Dynamics: Extended DISC® enables teams to identify behavioural patterns that may be hindering collaboration. This insight fosters synergy and ensures that each team member contributes in ways that align with their strengths.
  4. Leadership Development: Leaders can leverage Extended DISC® insights to adapt their management style to better motivate and engage their teams, fostering a positive and productive work environment.
  5. Recruitment and Role Alignment: Extended DISC® assists in placing individuals in roles that align with their natural behavioural styles, enhancing job satisfaction and performance.
  6. Enhanced Productivity: Individuals and teams perform better when they understand their natural tendencies and adapt effectively to challenges.
  7. Conflict Resolution: Identifying and addressing behavioral differences reduces misunderstandings and fosters a harmonious work environment.
  8. Strategic Growth: Organizations can use Extended DISC® insights to design strategies that align with the collective strengths and potential of their teams.
  9. Customized Coaching: As a coach, I use Extended DISC® to create personalized development plans that cater to the unique needs and aspirations of each client.

How I Use Extended DISC® in Coaching

Through one-on-one coaching sessions or team workshops, I integrate Extended DISC® assessments into a comprehensive development journey. Participants receive detailed reports and actionable insights, which are then applied to real-life scenarios. This ensures the learning goes beyond theory, translating into meaningful and measurable results.

With Extended DISC, the path to better communication, stronger leadership, and higher performance becomes clear.
