What You'll Get

Whether you’re working with an overly assertive employee, one that seems too sensitive, or one that simply won’t budge—the DISC Leadership Kickstarter Program will help you communicate more effectively.

DISC Leadership Assessment & Report

You’ll complete the online DISC Leadership Assessment before starting the course.

The assessment only takes about 10 – 15 minutes to complete and yields a personalized and actionable 55-page report.

If this sounds too daunting, don’t worry. I’ll break it down for you.

You’ll get your link to take your online assessment within one business day of enrolling and paying for the program. Then, as soon as you complete the assessment, you’ll get your report instantly via email.

Certified by the Assessments Standards Institute (ASI)

As you shop for a DISC assessment, remember that not all assessments are created equal. The DISC assessment I use is certified by the Assessments Standards Institute (ASI) and won’t break the bank.

ASI provides verifiably objective testing and reporting that meet the standards established by the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). ASI’s battery of tests is both voluntary and transparent.

Four Online Learning Modules

In addition to the DISC Assessment and Report, you get four on-demand, online learning modules totaling 20+ tutorial videos.

In Module 1, I’m going to help you build a strong foundation for success. You’ll review the DISC model, the 4 DISC styles, and the DISC assessment. You’ll identify the most likely DISC styles of your direct reports using behavioral cues and simple tools.

In Module 2, I’ll show you how to interpret the results of your personalized, 55-page DISC Leadership Report. You’ll analyze and reflect on your report and identify your leadership strengths, peaks, valleys, and opportunities for growth.

In Module 3, I’ll walk you through my step-by-step process for getting three-level feedback—from bosses, direct reports, and colleagues—to evaluate your self-perception. You’ll use checklists, tips, and tools to secure, compile, and evaluate vital insights for your development. These tools will also help you relieve the anxieties associated with feedback-seeking—yours and theirs.

In Module 4, you’ll uncover the source of conflict between the DISC Styles and master the art of adaptability. You’ll walk away with tips, tools, and strategies to adapt effectively and lead more effective and productive conversations with your direct reports.

A Message from Sylvia Melena

Hi, Sylvia Melena here. 

I’m an off-the-charts DISC “D.”

If you don’t know what that means yet, don’t worry, you will by the end of this course.

In my early career, I was frequently blunt and sometimes even rude. But I was fortunate to work with people who cared about me enough to give me honest feedback.

I particularly remember a brutally honest reaction from a co-worker like it was yesterday.

I don’t remember what I said to trigger him or how I said it, but I vividly recall the horror on his face and his shocking response to my affront: “Shoot from the hip, why don’t you! Next time, try using a little tact!"

I was stunned, momentarily speechless, and in disbelief. And I’m never speechless.

I didn’t know what he meant. So, I asked him to explain, and he did.

Thanks to his honest feedback and the support of others, I had an amazing 20-year leadership career in health and human services. I had the honor of directly managing workforces from about 80 to 300 employees and supporting performance for up to 1,400 in my senior leadership roles.

And most people enjoyed working with me and giving their best.

Yes, I said, “Most.”

The truth is, not everyone will enjoy working with you no matter how much you adapt. And that’s okay. Not everyone will like you. But that’s not your goal anyways.

Your goal is to be the best leader you can be, create a great workplace, promote accountability, and achieve measurable results. These are the things I intentionally worked on to elevate my leadership.

Today, I’m the Founder & CEO of Melena Consulting Group, a leadership and management training, consulting, and publishing company in sunny California. And my passion is helping leaders create great workplaces, promote accountability, and boost performance.

Because of my ongoing journey, I’m a firm believer in the power of positive feedback and supportive accountability to transform lives. But I also know it’s hard sometimes.

That’s why I’m excited to launch my upcoming online DISC Leadership Kickstarter program. It will give you everything you need to adapt your approach to communicate more effectively with the people on your team.

I hope to see you there!

Warmest regards,

Sylvia Melena
