UNIQUELY
YOU DISC
According to Mark H McCormack,
author of “What They Don’t Teach You at
Harvard
Business
School
”, “the key to success is reading people”. It simply
means, the foundation of personal and job success is to know
self, know others and adapting oneself to the behavioural
characteristics of others.
The DISC Certification
introduces you to the field of human behavioural science in an
easy to grasp presentation. The training focuses on the four
personalities model of Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and
Compliance, called DISC in short. The course covers the way of
our actions, its interpretation, administration, application
and uses in our day-to-day situations. Participants will learn
how to read people, communicate more effectively, appreciate
perspectives of people, motivate, avoid unnecessary conflicts
and increase effectiveness. The instrument is internationally
used in the areas of Human Resource management, counseling,
coaching, and consulting. On completion participants will be
certified as a Human Behaviour Analyst.
The course has been so
successful in
America
that one of their foremost corporate trainers, Zig Ziglar has
this to say of our program, “‘Uniquely You’ (DISC) has a
message
America
needs to hear.”
Introduction
DISC provides
an insight into an individual style that is more than adequate
to predict the likely trends of people’s behaviour. It does
this by evaluating four key dimensions in an individual. At
its most basic level, DISC measures four factors of an
individual’s behaviour: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and
Compliance. The real power of DISC comes from its ability to
interpret the relations between these dimensions. How a high
“Influence” person who has an equal high level of
“Dominance”, will behave differently to an “Influence”
individual without that “Dominance”. Using this
information, DISC can be used to describe a person’s general
approach, including their motivations and dislikes, strengths
and potential risks, and some of the basic assumptions they
make about other people. The instrument is internationally
used in the areas of Human Resource management, counseling,
coaching and consulting. On completion, participants will be
accredited as a 'Certified Human Behaviour Consultant'. "The
'Certified Human Behaviour Consultant' title is jointly
awarded by 'The Leadership Institute of America' and
'Management Centre of Asia Pte Ltd'".
DISCASIAPLUS
We
are glad to announce that we have commissioned an updated
Asian version of the DISC profiling system.
As more and more people in
Asia
are using the DISC instrument, there is an urgent need to
contextualize the DISC within an Asian culture.
Management Centre of Asia Pte Ltd has completed the
research to customize the DISC and has now created 5 different
norms – all of which can be used within
Asia
. The
contextualization of the DISC instrument to an Asian audience
will offer greater clarity when comparing Asians with Asians.
We remain committed to offer tools that are user
friendly and customized within an Asian environment.
Just a quick

Testimonials
of Accredited Users
"During
my two-days of DISC Accreditation training on 2 & 3 May
2013, I have a greater understanding of the different facets
of the people around me. It is interesting how DISC
divides people into 4 major groups. This knowledge will
definitely help me to sharpen my selling, management &
inter-personal skill both in my job & in my personal life.
There were ample interaction with my classmates & as
such, we got to know each other better in a very short time. As
our trainer, you are well versed in this topic & I am
amazed with your passion and knowledge in the world of
psychometric tools. You were able to lead the class well
and were encouraging in opening up our minds."
Prestine
Lim, Sales Director, Wang Limo Pte Ltd
"I
had the pleasure of attending the DISC Accreditation program
facilitated by Daniel. A most engaging session that I have
seen and experienced for a while. The program was well
structured, made complexity of the tool easy to comprehend,
and most importantly, gave confidence to me that I would be
able to exploit the strength of the tool well in the course of
my work. I was also enlightened on how I can possibly
complement DISC with my other assessment toolkit, much with
the help of Daniel patiently sharing his vast experience on
psychometric instruments. Small class that provided ample
quality interactions between the participants and Daniel, yet
with no compromise to experience sharing amongst the
participants. In fact, we left the session learning much about
each other through the activities. Certainly a course worth
attending and looking forward to be updated on the upgrade of
the DISC tool."

"The
DISC accreditation course was an eye-opener for me and most
useful in the course of my work as a life-stylist and image
consultant. I gained many insights into the 4 main
personalities and while I had expected this to be a relatively
technical course, Daniel was able to make the course
interactive, fun and relevant for us through his years of
experience, professionalism and vast expanse of knowledge. He
was also very helpful and generous with his knowledge, tips
and strategies. I would definitely recommend this course to
trainers who wish to gain insights into personality profiling
and reading people!"
Ms. KIM-CHUA (MA-Educational Studies,
Uni. of York, UK) (MSc in Asian Studies, RSIS-NTU)
Director, WINK! Charisma Pte Ltd
"The
DISC accreditation training was interesting and provided a
good opportunity for the participants to learn from Daniel and
the participants. As part of the course, I also received a
detailed DISC report and this gave me another perspective to
enhance my self-awareness. The sharing of ideas from other
participants was an excellent source for my learning. The
facilitator Daniel Teo, demonstrated an excellent
understanding of DISC, both theory and applications. His
facilitation style helped the team learn from each other. One
noteworthy observation was his openness to ideas helped each
and everyone to contribute from their experiences. These two
days of learning were enriching and meaningful. Another
excellent point about this training was the ‘lunch-time
interactions’ in one of the restaurants, the learning
continued from class to the dinning table.”

Cheng Boon, Senior Lecturer, Nanyang Technological University
- Nanyang Business School (Strategy, Management and
Organization)
"Daniel
is a very experienced trainer in DISC certification. Before
attending this course I had only a vague idea of what DISC was
all about. After the two day course, I realised that I should
have attended this course much earlier as it helps me to
“read and identify” my strengths and weakness effectively.
This is an
essential skill for all working adults to learn as it will
definitely help them to be more conscious of their styles and
those they work with. This will in turn lead to greater
productivity as our personalities influence the results we are
getting in work and life. By relating to key individuals
whether they are our co workers, business partners, friends
and our loved ones, we learn to see ourselves in the world of
relational connectivity as leadership excellence is about
influence. Hence knowing DISCAsiaPlus has been
instrumental in improving my personal growth. This is a
program I strongly recommend all professionals, managers and
executives to attend as early as possible in their
careers."

Tay, Lecturer, Leadership Programmes, National Community

“During
the two days of DISC accreditation training , I learned about
a number of strengths I have including strengths other types
bring into a team. I also learned about how much have I
adapted and what other ways can I adapt in order to succeed in
certain contexts. The gaps I discovered between my perceived
self and real self were insightful – I got more clarity on
why certain things turned out to be that way. I have now
learnt how to do a summary report on a person’s profile
which will be very useful to my work. The contribution of
ideas from other participants were a source for my learning in
addition to the facilitator. Daniel Teo, the facilitator
demonstrated thorough understanding of DISC, both theory and
applications. His broader experience with the world of
psychometric instruments added flavour to the discussions. His
style of pulling back during discussions, helped the team
learn from each other and his openness to ideas helped each
and every one to contribute from their experiences."

"The
DISC Accreditation Course conducted by Mr Daniel Teo of
Management Centre of Asia Pte Ltd was an insightful two-day
learning experience. We got to understand a very useful
personality profiling tool and apply the insights of what it
measures in various combinations of dominance, influence,
steadiness and compliance in human behaviour. Having been in
training situations for more than 20 years working with groups
and individuals, and already being familiar with both the DISC
and MBTI instruments, I was pleasantly surprised to find
myself gaining a far keener appreciation of the value of the
instrument for training, coaching and consulting purposes than
I had anticipated. I attribute this to Daniel’s expert
knowledge of the instrument and his experience in training,
which made it possible for him to make spot on insights
through carefully prepared teachable moments for us. I
strongly recommend the DISC Accreditation Course by Management
Centre of Asia for anyone who is serious about developing
human potential."
Bernard
Lee, Founder and Principal Consultant, GATES Global Pte Ltd
"This
workshop has given me fresh insights into DISC as a behavior
assessment tool. The compact 2- day workshop has been
facilitated by Daniel Teo who is both articulate and effective
in his training approach, making it enjoyable and a great
learning experience for all the participants. I have
personally benefitted in knowledge and application and would
recommend it highly to others. I have increased my self
knowledge so as to adapt and foster more constructive and
collaborative group interactions. Increasing greater self
awareness will also help me gain a better understanding of my
own motivations, stresses, strengths and areas for
improvement. All in all, a really worthwhile program! The
adminstration and prompt follow ups have added the finishing
touches to a great customer experience too. Thank you Daniel
and team!"

"Driven
by both interest and curiosity towards understanding facets of
human behaviour, I attended the 2 days DISC accreditation
programme on 19th & 20th April 2012. Daniel Teo, President
and CEO of Management Centre of Asia Pte Ltd was our
facilitator. Applying his deep experience in psychometrics, he
was able to distil the work of Dr. William M. Marston’s
development of the DISC tool to meet the needs of an Asian
audience. This provided a more accurate interpretation and
understanding of our behaviour given its closer association
and context. Daniel’s facilitative and encouraging style
elucidated a richness of learning and personal sharing by all
participants. It was both an humbling yet edifying experience
."
Finian
Yeo (Mr)
"Daniel's
DISC workshop was truly an enriching experience for me. His
understanding of the psycho-statistical underpinning the DISC
personality as well as the differences due to cultural factors
impressed me the most. Daniel's facilitation was lively
and went with the energy of the group. When he noticed that
the energy of the group was about to go down, he immediately
switched to an interactive activity which helped sustain the
engagement level of the participants. The stories and
experience shared by Daniel in reading and interpreting the
different DISC profile was insightful. I became more confident
interpreting DISC profile as a result of his workshop."
Lee
Kang Yam, Chief Learning Curator, The Flame Centre Pte Ltd
"Attending
the two days' DISC accreditation workshop with Mr Daniel Teo
has given me a great vast of insights into myself and the
people whom I need to interact and build quality relationship
with, in work and in personal life.
I was surprised and fascinated by the uniqueness of the
different personalities; in terms of their values and vision,
the words they choose to use for communication, their body
languages etc are interpreted and displayed in different ways.
Even a task that is direct and basic to me would be viewed in
different angles and comes with different meanings to each and
all!
This workshop has given me a better understanding of myself,
the gaps between my work personality and my real-self
personality. The acquired knowledge will support me to better
realize my potentials and to adapt and enhance quality and
positive interaction and development with people. I am sure
that DISC is a great tool for me to deploy at work to
recognise, understand and complement the qualities and
strengths of my staff; to bring out the best in them as an
individual and as a team member. I would like to compliment Mr
Daniel Teo, our facilitator, who has demonstrated his theory
and application expertise in the subject efficiently. His
ability to lead and develop a conduciveness among the
participants towards open sharing and learning from each other
is greatly beneficial to all.
Thank you Daniel for the great learning experience and
insights!"

"It
was a magnificent workshop learning to work with different
DISC types. Distance didn’t seem to be an issue for some as
one of the attendees in my class came from another country
just to attend the course! I could see the reason why, as this
was indeed a very fruitful course for me. The tool could be
used in many different areas of my work. One of the
applications was to use it in within my career coaching for
clients. Our trainer, Daniel, was able to give many real life
examples to help us understand the topics better. The
methodologies that he used throughout the 2 days ensured that
every participant knew DISC at the back of their hand. Daniel
is very focused when facilitating. He ensured that everyone
had the opportunity to participate in discussions, never
leaving anyone out. He was also forthcoming in sharing his
knowledge and answered all our questions. Additionally, he
seemed to be able to tell if someone had a question. There was
a spot-on moment for me during the workshop where he sensed
that I had further query, he took the initiative to ask me
directly and it turned out that I actually had! Additionally,
I was very satisfied with the meals provided during the
workshop. Every tea-break and lunch provided participants a
chance to have quality interaction with each other. I believe
the class was amazingly engaging and interesting, and I’m
sure all the attendees had the same positive takeaway as I
did."
Ben
Liew, HR Manager, Abwin Pte Ltd
"This
was truly an insightful programme that benefits the individual
and those who are involved in the Human Resource function.
Throughout the two days, presentations were interactive and
discussions were well facilitated. There was a good sharing of
experiences between facilitator and participants which
furthermore enriched the learning. The trainer, Daniel Teo, is
knowledgeable in the subject matter. As a result of completing
the 2 days course, I now have an in-depth understanding of
DISC profiling and I am confident of interpreting the graphs.
I would also strongly recommend this programme for those who
are exploring and/or planning to use DISC for personal
development and organisational development purposes. This
course is truly a worthy investment of your time and
money".

“During
the tow days of DISC accreditation training , I learned about
a number of strengths I have including strengths other types
bring into a team context. I realised how complementing each
other with their own strengths can lead to team performance
and productivity. What seemed to be conflicts were really just
different ways of approaching an issue – this insight helped
me become more accommodative of team diversity. I also learned
about how much have I adapted and what other ways can I adapt
in order succeed in certain contexts. The gaps I discovered
between my perceived self and real self were insightful – I
got more clarity on why certain things turned out to be that
way. The contribution of ideas from other participants were a
source for my learning in addition to the facilitator. Daniel
Teo, the facilitator demonstrated thorough understanding of
DISC, both theory and applications. His broader experience
with the world of psychometric instruments added flavour to
the discussions. His style of pulling back during discussions,
helped the team learn from each other and his openness to
ideas helped each and every one to contribute from their
experiences. I will remember the two days of full filled
learning as a major step in my career growth.”
Mr.
Jayan Warrier, Management Consultant
"The
2 days DISC Accreditation Training was a wow experience, both
for me and my wife, Suann. Particularly during the
concluding session - when I was able to write a one page
description on the behavioural style of one of the
participants, based on his graphs. I was truly amazed.
Daniel is a great facilitator and possesses a well-deep
knowledge and appreciation of psychometric process and
instruments. He listens well and gathers the input
of the participants to enhance our learning from him and from
one another. I do believe we learned much those 2 days.
It was a
time of self-discovery, especially when I learned of my
behaviour style: strengths - non-strengths - leadership style
& needs. Beyond that, I was able to appreciate
others in my home, the work place and in social context. How
and why they behave the way they behave. This
understanding will enable me to deal with conflicts that may
appear in our interpersonal relationships in diverse
situations. Another discovery I made is that I can learn
to manage my behaviour according to the situations that I face
daily. This knowledge has liberated me to understand
that behaviours are dependent on environmental factors and
though I may be adapting to the needs in different situations,
I am basically who I am.
My wife
and I will remember the two days of fun-filled learning and
interestingly we still do talk about Daniel's style of
training and facilitation."

“Knowing
the DISC has certainly been very useful to me, both on a work
and personal level. As a trainer, it is important that I am
able to communicate and engage my participants in a manner
that they are responsive to. Knowing the DISC has increased my
effectiveness and versatility in this aspect. As a result, my
ability to connect with my audience was raised to a new and
exciting level! With the DISC knowledge I am better equip to
understand different behavioural inclinations and
communication styles of people and, I’ve been able to match
expectations in terms of learning and interaction preferences.
This accreditation course is a must for anyone who wants a
fresh insight into understanding people better!”
Ms
Christina Seet, Regional Director, Organisational Development,
Jebsen & Jessen (SEA) Pte Ltd
“The
DISC accreditation course was handled in personalized approach
allowing a more interactive learning between trainer and
trainees. The trainer Daniel Teo was hands on and obviously
experienced in the area of personal profiling tools. Though
the course duration was 2 days only, I found the programme
substantial and with frequent practice DISC will be very
useful in the areas of training, recruitment, performance
management, career management, applying appropriate leadership
styles, approaching selling, and facilitating team
building.”
