“2020: Weirdest Year in History”
That quote appears on a t-shirt from Life is Good®. Pretty much sums it up. There is no need to recap the craziness that defined this year (which, as of this writing, is way too far from over). But the one shift that may be quite lasting is working from home.
A close friend of mine heads a small office of a large company. He was given the “all clear” to go back into the office with reduced staff, but he opted to keep working from home. He says he’s more productive. And he figures the $150,000 spent on the office lease annually can be better spent elsewhere.
One of our very large corporate clients has told its employees that they can work from home “indefinitely”.
Which means a lot of training has gone virtual. By the end of 2020, we will have converted four classes to virtual for that same large client and they expect 2021 to be mostly, if not all, virtual.
With a New Reality Comes New Virtual DiSC Training Materials!
While we have been hard at work converting custom curriculum, Wiley has been hard at work updating Everything DiSC® to reflect this new reality. This what they accomplished in 2020:
- A new profile, Agile EQ, was launched along with a facilitation kit
- Catalyst online platform launched for Workplace
- Workplace on Catalyst virtual materials released as a free upgrade to the Workplace Facilitation Kit
- The Five Behaviors Personal Development virtual materials released as a free upgrade to the Personal Development Facilitation Kit
- Agile EQ added to the Catalyst platform
- Agile EQ on Catalyst virtual materials released as a free upgrade to the Agile EQ Facilitation Kit
- Everything DiSC on Catalyst Facilitation Kit released (November, 2020)
That’s a lot. And yet there is more to come.
Stay tuned!
