Everyone is different, which can make it difficult for us to interact with each other. What is it that makes people different? What is it about an irritating coworker that makes him or her irritating to you? By looking into DISC personality types, we can recognize our own tendencies, so that we can better recognize tendencies in others. Having this information will help you strengthen relationships and become a better employee, manager, friend, spouse, parent, etc. In this first course, we'll introduce you to the DISC model and describe the four different DISC styles. (Note: Be sure to watch this series in order.)
