Understanding Personality Through DiSC and Animal Teachings

Have you ever wondered why some people jump right into making decisions while others need time to thIink things through? Or why some people love being around others while some prefer to work quietly behind the scenes?

We all have different personalities, and those differences shape how we communicate, build relationships, solve problems, and work together.

Walking in Our Strengths is a fun, interactive workshop that uses four animals to explore the different DiSC personality styles. Participants will learn more about themselves, discover what makes others tick, and find ways to communicate and work better together.

Meet the Four Personality Styles

• The Eagle (Dominance): Confident, decisive, independent, and ready to take action. Eagles like challenges, getting results, and leading the way.
• The Otter (Influence): Outgoing, enthusiastic, creative, and energized by people. Otters love connecting, sharing ideas, and encouraging others.
• The Deer (Steadiness): Patient, dependable, caring, and supportive. Deer value harmony, strong relationships, and helping others succeed.
• The Beaver (Conscientiousness): Thoughtful, organized, analytical, and detail-oriented. Beavers value accuracy, planning, and doing things well.

What You’ll Learn

• Discover your personality style and the strengths you naturally bring.
• Understand why people think, communicate, and make decisions differently.
• Recognize your strengths and where you might get in your own way.
• Learn how to communicate with different personalities, even when you don’t see eye to eye.
• Explore how personality affects relationships, teamwork, leadership, and running a business.
• Discover how different strengths can work together to build stronger teams and communities.
