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.

"Since working with Ashley I have improved my ability to execute my job more than I could have imagined. Where I used to let failures and day-to-day issues affect me personally, I practice "detached engagement" to put work into context with my life, but still do my best to lead my team toward the best solutions. I learned to channel acceptance, challenge myself to think bigger, and find the silver lining for a positive outcome in a situation. These techniques and enhanced perspectives have also helped me in my personal life. Thank You, Ashley, for your guidance and support."

Our company has chosen to invest in itself, its executive team and managers with Liz Bentley Associates. They are teaching us how to better listen, plan, communicate and build our future. The company and I are more focused than ever before.

We invited Liz to conduct a half-day session for our recent college grads to help shorten their learning curve. Liz was completely flexible in customizing her content to address our specific needs. With very little preparation time on my end, Liz came into our session like a rock star – gaining complete engagement from the participants and knocking all of our objectives out of the ballpark.

Liz Bentley has a unique gift for helping people gain great personal insight and understanding of the behaviors which impact their relationships both personally and professionally. I have attended several events she facilitated and never failed to benefit. I know my associates feel the same way.

Liz challenges the status quo and invites her audience to view their circumstances in a new way that results in audience excitement and enthusiasm for growth. Liz gets business and her years of working 1:1 with top level executives makes her prepared to handle the most unique of situations.
