I've been exposed to many personality assessments geared toward teams and management / leadership but never really saw the value of the generalizations. When you're a young manager I think you want to treat everyone like snowflakes. After working through the DISC assessment and having a few of the managers that work for me take and share with their teams, it became a much more scalable management approach than the 'snowflake' method. DISC created a common language around employee needs allowing us to have more productive conversations on how we can support and motivate one another. I've found the language useful to help grow young managers, foster peer support, facilitate 360 reviews and generally drive a more transparent, supportive culture. I will say DISC (like other personality assessments) is only part of the puzzle - it's essential to have a guide to help foster insight and find ways to apply its learnings.

I have been with Liz Bentley Associates for the past six years through executive coaching and it has changed my life. Liz and her team have helped change the way I think and communicate to be a more effective leader in all areas of my life. Our executive team has experiences with LBA as well. Every meeting presents new challenges and strategies to motivate and mentor our employees.

Liz is a very dynamic presenter and her experience in the corporate world made her a convincing voice and role model for considering fundamental changes in my leadership style. The skills and techniques I learned from Liz have made an immediate impact on my leadership skills, and perhaps more importantly, sharpened the vision for my personal and career goals. I would strongly recommend Liz to anyone looking to grow as a professional, and as a person.

Life changing! This is how I would describe what it’s like to work with Alissa. She is one of the most dynamic, inspiring, and motivating people I’ve ever encountered.
