Conversations matter, now more than ever.
Conversations matter, now more than ever.
A new hybrid work system is emerging, offering the possibility for employees to work both remotely and in the office. This situation creates new challenges in terms of communication, effectiveness, teamwork and performance.
In this context, it is more crucial than ever to learn how to have productive conversations. The fact is, productive or effective conversations are the cornerstone of great leadership, healthy cultures and successful results.
It’s a simple equation: effective conversations lead to improved relationships, and improved relationships lead to better leadership, team performance and results. When communication is clear, honest and respectful, employees are happier, more engaged and more productive. This directly impacts performance, results are maximized, and the overall quality of the workplace is enhanced.
It all starts with learning how to have effective conversations… conversations that get results.

Everything DiSC® – The Culture Catalyst™
Improve workplace communication and culture with personalized insights that inspire true behavior change.
Everything DiSC® is an assessment-based personal development learning experience that deepens self-awareness, inspires appreciation of others and fosters effective collaboration in the workplace. Backed by 40 years of research, the DiSC model represents today the most reliable psychometric tool to assess behavioral patterns.
This simple yet powerful model describes four basic styles: Dominance, influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness, and serves as the foundation for the Everything DiSC Application Suite.
After completing the online DiSC assessment, each participant receives a personalized profile, based on their individual DiSC style. This very detailed profile allows you to deepen your understanding of self and discover the best ways to communicate with others, especially those with different styles.
An interactive instructor-led workshop then takes place where insights are shared, communication strategies are discussed and solutions are proposed. The goal of this program is to understand and appreciate the different priorities, preferences and values that each individual brings to the workplace. The result is a more engaged and collaborative workforce, improved team performance and an enhanced corporate culture.
As an Authorized Partner of Everything DiSC, GDF Talent can help you explore three Everything DiSC Applications that each focus on a specific area of interest. These transformational learning experiences are rich with “aha!” moments that inspire true behavior change.
All Everything DiSC workshops are offered in either virtual or in-person format.
- Everything DiSC Workplace: Discover your own DiSC® style and learn to adapt to the style of others. Explore strategies to build more meaningful and productive relationships in the workplace.
- Everything DiSC Agile EQ: Understand your EQ strengths, based on your own DiSC style and learn how to read the emotional and interpersonal needs of a situation and respond accordingly.
- Everything DiSC Work of Leaders: Recognize the priorities and tendencies, based on your own DiSC style, that shape your approach to the fundamental work of leaders. Explore in detail how to play to your strengths and overcome challenges to improve your leadership effectiveness.
