The first step to leadership success is simple.

Get CLEAR about who you are, and the type of leader you want to be.

 

Using the DISC behavioural profiling model, you will uncover your behavioural and communication style. The DISC model provides valuable insights about the way you communicate, behave and work. Knowing yourself as a leader will help you to manage yourself better and understand what is important to others.

Throughout this one-day workshop you will discover so much about yourself as well as how you are perceived by others. With this new information you will be able to identify other people’s styles and adjust your approach to create better communication outcomes and to improve team dynamics. Most importantly you will walk away with real clarity about who you are and how you want to lead.

FAQs

  • Do I need to complete the modules in order? You can complete the modules in any order once you have completed Module 1.
  • How long does it take to complete the program? This depends on how quickly you want to move through the 4 modules. We recommend 1 module per term or semester, which means you can complete it across 12 months or 24 months. It’s up to you.
  • Can I change module dates once I have registered? You can change module dates once you have registered. Simply email office@coachingfocus.com.au and let us know your reason for changing and your preferred new date/dates. We will do our best to allocate you to a new module date if there is availability in the group.
  • How do I get the resources for the program? All resources are Express Posted to you in the week prior to the module date. If they do not arrive in time, we will provide an electronic copy of the workbook and resources (where possible).
  • Can I get a refund, or a credit, if I need to cancel my registration? Wherever possible we will issue a credit for your payment. You can transfer that credit to any of our programs or transfer the money to someone else at your school.
  • When can’t a credit be provided? A credit cannot be provided if you have activated the DISC Profile code issued to you, a Resource Pack has already been sent to you or it is within one week prior to the module date (because by then we will have sent the Resource Pack to you).
