Facilitation Style
Introduction to DiSC ®
• DiSC® looks at how we react to our environment
• William Moulton Marston’s Ph.D. work from the late 1920’s
• Everyone has a preferred style of interacting and communicating with others that is both developed and learned
• We can adapt the way we interact and communicate if we better understand that our preferred style may be different from others
• No style is better then another, they are just different

What style sent this email?
Jane is going on an out-of-state business trip to meet Richard and his team for a three-day strategic planning meeting. Jane sent Richard an email asking him to recommend a hotel.
If Richard responded like this, what would you assume is his DiSC style?

Hi Jane, I hope you had a great weekend. We are looking forward to having you join us for the strategic planning meeting. The closest hotel choice is the Courtyard on First Ave. They just recently renovated their dining area, but they don’t have a gym. There also is a Hilton two blocks farther away on Jefferson St. They have very nice rooms, but they don’t have a restaurant in the hotel. Let me know which hotel you prefer, and I can reserve you a room. Best wishes,Richard
