DiSC Train-the-Trainer Training
Proposal
Prepared for: Doreen Kemp
Prepared by: Christie Ward, CSP, The Impact Institute
July 21, 2016
Proposal number: 1.1
Executive Summary
Objective and Background
To demonstrate the capability of The Impact Institute to create and deliver a DiSC Train-the-Trainer program
to Individuals at the City of Ft. Collins and possibly other city employees by invitation. Christie Ward, CSP
has delivered presentation skills to several corporate and public sector teams with great success, and has
delivered train-the-trainer programs to groups in both sectors as well. This class would focus on live face-to-
face training skills and the use of the Everything DiSC Wiley products.
The Impact Institute is a full service training and speaking firm, delivering custom solutions to the public and
corporate sector since 1999. Christie Ward is a certified speaking professional (CSP), a designation held by
less than 10% of the professional speakers in the world, demonstrating her acumen in consistent delivery for
clients and her reputation. Please access www.impactinst.com for testimonials and an overview. A resume
or referrals are available upon request from the Department of Interior, the National Business Center, the
USAF Air Mobility Command, the Federal Executive Board, IHS Corporation and Johnson & Johnson, to
name a few.
Goals
The training needs to build competencies and
show comparisons between the Wiley DiSC
products: DiSC Classic 2.0, Everything
DiSC Workplace, Everything DiSC Man-
agement, and the Work of Leaders. The
Five behaviors of a cohesive team product
using DiSC can be demonstrated if desired.
Participants will also gain knowledge of the
facilitator’s report, the culture report, com-
parison reports, and team reports. Partici-
pants need to make choices for the best product to achieve the result desired. All products will be demon-
strated, and samples shared. The instructor will demonstrate how each can be used for team building, one-
on-one coaching, conflict mediation, leadership programs, and open enrollment classes for the city, Each
participant will have a chance to practice delivering a section of content, with Video taping and individual
coaching to personalize the experience. Participants will become familiar with the MyEverythingDiSC portal
and supporting materials. This is a practical and informational program designed to give participants the

knowledge they need to train any of the Wiley DiSC products. Foundations of DiSC theory and interpretation
of assessments will be core to participant’s understanding. Everyone will leave with a plan and the confi-
dence to execute it. Christie always offers 3 months of follow-up coaching via email support for any train-the-
trainer session, included in the cost.
Solution
The Impact Institute suggests....
The training will be held over two days for a group of up to 12. These two days can be concurrent or sepa-
rated by a period of time. Each member of the group will receive codes for an Everything DiSC Workplace
profile to take online prior to the first class session. They will also receive their Everything DiSC manual with
an assignment, some white papers and articles to read prior to the session, and a quick pretest to determine
their current DiSC knowledge. These will be discussed during various modules of class and tied to the indi-
vidual style of each person when they present. The first day will focus on the various DiSC products, how
they are different, how to use them to train various audiences, and DiSC theory. There will be samples of all
the products for people to see, as well as a deep dive into the Everything DiSC Workplace profile that each
person will have to reference. A demonstration of the MyEverythingDiSC portal will refresh participants on
how easy it is to run comparison reports for team members, as well as refresh the content of DiSC long after
class sessions are complete. On the second day, participants will prepare a training module to deliver for the
group for videotaping and feedback. Successful communication is what’s received, not what’s intended.
Each member of the group needs to see themselves as others see them, so videotaping and critique is in-
cluded. Successful trainers are good communicators, and can engage all the various styles in the room.
Different activities and active learning methods will be demonstrated throughout the two days, with an em-
phasis on how to use these in their own training design and delivery. Participants will have copies of their
videos on USB drives at the end of the program to review for ongoing learning and share with their supervi-
sors. Each person will receive a substantial workbook that they will personalize throughout the two days, as
well as articles, samples of products and resources.
How would we do that....
Following is a list of topics to be covered during the group training sessions and coaching.
• Become aware of how your audience perceives you. Receive individualized coaching on your delivery.
• Become conversant in DiSC theory and have access to validity and reliability for the profile tools.
• Get clarity on how to coach to different DiSC styles, including practice with each other.

• Be able to explain various DiSC charts and recommend profiles for various purposes for your end users.
• Experience modules of ED Workplace, ED Management and Work of Leaders and compare/contrast with
DiSC Classic 2.0 reports. See samples of Facilitator reports, Comparison reports, Culture reports, Team
views and Interaction Guides and discuss how they are best utilized in coaching and classroom settings.
• Be exposed to the Five Behaviors of a Cohesive team report and the 363 Leadership report.
• Become familiar with the MyEverythingDiSC portal available to each profile recipient to set up comparison
reports and refresh on DiSC content on-the-job, when you need it.
• Practice with flip-charts, powerpoint and creating exercises to match the DiSC content.
• Participate in a strategy conversation about infusing your culture with DiSC and integration with current
programs.
• Experience various activities and methods throughout the two days and personalize them for your work-
place. Samples of DiSC Interaction guides (job aids) and the Quick DiSC Card deck will be experienced.
This program is a laboratory to experiment, ask questions and discover the tools.
