Expansive DISC Behaviour integration
Advanced DISC Practitioner was a fabulous CPD event.
Sharon was full of enthusiasm and provided complimentary tools that can be used beyond the DISC profile to continue to raise awareness on behaviour.
I had many aha moments and have already used the tools which has enhanced the coaching conversations with many lightbulb moments for me & my clients.
If you're already using DISC and want to expand your thinking to support your employees/clients, teams and organisations then this is the programme you need

Excellent content and delivery.
The DISC Advanced Practitioner Workshop was expertly delivered by DISC Master Trainer Sharon Lawton.
It was a superb training with many insights which helped me to understand how DISC integrates with leading frameworks such as Lencioni’s Five Dysfunctions of a Team and David Rock’s SCARF model, adding to my toolkit for working with individuals, leaders, and teams.
This workshop was also a masterclass in creating a safe, inclusive and supportive environment which made it perfect for learning online.

I'm fully satisfied by the GR workshop
I'm fully satisfied by the GR workshop, as myself I was struggling with these two parts. At the end of the workshop I found myself skilled with whatever I need to have a great coaching session. Knowing also that I would have an insightful support once I need it from TCA makes me gratefull and empowered.

Sarah and Gordon’s absolute commitment to the trainee practitioner’s success was top notch. By taking us through a Milton Model’s exercise to calm nerves, reframe perspectives and draw resources from the unconscious mind was a game changer. Additionally, the structure of the assessment allowed practitioners buiid confidence with each assessment stage such that taking on the more complex techniques at the latter stages felt natural. They're are an ALL STAR TEAM. 💯💯💯
