1. Appreciating Your Own Style: 3-5 minutes - Strut your Stuff!
What are the greatest strengths of your style? Using their reports for information, have each group
select three qualities /strengths that they agree are most descriptive of their style. Then have one
participant/scribe in each group stand and share their finding with the other groups. - 1 minute.

2. Appreciating Other Styles:
Have each group select a scribe, and come up with three qualities for each of the style groups other
than their own. i.e. What is it that you appreciate about other DiSC styles? What do they do that
makes your life/job easier. Then starting with the D's, have the scribe address each of the other styles
by saying . . . This is what the D group appreciates about your style (i's, S's, and C's)
Follow with each style appreciating each group different from their own.

3. SAY: A person's weakness is an over-extension or over-use of their strength.
( per John Geier - author of DiSC Assessment.)
ASK: When do you think people are likely to over use their strength?
Look for answers such as stress . . . tired . . . overloaded etc.

Summarize: Different = Different - Different isn't Wrong.
There is great strength in behavioral diversity. We need each other’s differences.
And it is important to value ourselves, and value, honor, and respect differences

POSTER PROJECT is always great if you have time. Give no more than 5 minutes to complete.
Give each group a sheet of Flip Chart Paper and several colored markers: The assignment is to come up
with a slogan, a poem, or a song that depicts their style, and have them graphically illustrate it on the
flip chart paper . . . Watch how they act out their style as they complete their poster. Then have them
present their poster to each of the groups. Very fun and funny!
