WORKSHOPS
Everything DiSC® and The Five Behaviors®

The details vary by the individual workshop, but they all include the corresponding assessment(s) for the class topic, at least one training session, and all handouts needed for the course.

Virtual classes include our state-of-the art virtual classroom, facilitator and some classes also use a moderator.

In-person classes include audio-visual equipment (laptop, projector and speaker), the facilitator and typically one support person. Our prices do not include venue rental or items typically supplied by a venue, such as the screen for the projector, tables, chairs and food or beverage. We can provide full event management upon request.

Should you need to reschedule the training due to an unforeseen conflict, we will work with you to reschedule to a mutually acceptable date. Should you wish to cancel a workshop, we retain the deposit, however you retain all of the assessment results and/or access to Catalyst and any other materials provided up to the date of cancellation.

See our Workshop Terms and Conditions for full details.

Generally speaking, training outcomes suffer when there are too few or too many participants. Here is what we suggest:

Virtual Training – A minimum of five people is recommended, but 12-18 is better. In theory, we can accommodate any number of people in a virtual classroom, but in practice the limit is about 24. Beyond this number, activities are cumbersome and discussions can’t include everyone. When the experience is less personal, some learners disengage. For this reason, we cap most virtual training classes at 24 participants, with larger groups handled via a webinar format.

Webinar – For the DiSC Fundamentals class, we offer a webinar format to review results for large groups. This is a guided tour of Catalyst and covers the basics of the DiSC results, however there is limited interaction. We recommend this option only when budgets are extremely limited. This option is not listed in our catalog, so please contact us to or submit a Workshop Request Form make arrangements.

In-person Training – Provided the room is sufficiently-sized, in-person training can accommodate more learners. We recommend no fewer than 8-9 people, a class size of 18-24 is ideal and larger classes are workable.

Five Behaviors Team Workshops – This is the only workshop with a specific size recommendation: This program is designed for intact teams of 5 to 12 people, with at least 6 months of tenure working together. With fewer than five or more than twelve team members, the course is less effective and is therefore not recommended. The Five Behaviors Personal Development workshop follows the other guidelines as outline previously.

During the height of the pandemic we ceased all in-person training. As lock-downs and restrictions are lifted, we are accepting inquiries for in-person training. These are being considered on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the workshop environment and local conditions.

Our virtual workshops are divided into sessions of 90 to 120 minutes each. Most programs require more than one session, which we recommend conducting on different days. This avoids “Zoom fatigue” and allows the concepts introduced in one session to be studied and practiced before the next session.

In-person workshops are usually a half-day or a full-day, depending on the topic.

Sure. We think 10 is a good minimum number of participants, which is why each workshop includes 10 profiles. However, we will run sessions with the people you have. Any unused assessments will remain available for you to use at any point in the future.
