Why Are You Like That? 
Maximising Communication Effectiveness with DISC Profiling Tool.

People have different varying preferences; different personality; and different acceptance tolerance as we interact in day-to-day events. When it comes to communication effectiveness, these differences can make a difference between acceptance and rejection. Fortunately, while people are different, they are predictably different. Using a set of D.I.S.C. behavioural tool, we can identify their behavioural preferences and tune our communication style towards their preference.

Learning Objectives:
Participants will identify their own behaviour style with an individual DISC Behavioural Analysis checklist. At the end of this talk, participants would have achieved the following objectives:

1.  Identifying your own behavioural type
2.  Identifying behavioural type of others
3.  Using this added knowledge to communicate effectively
