This facilitator guide and Power Point Presentation has been thoughtfully designed to empower coaches and facilitators to confidently lead a full Team DISC training session with minimal preparation time.
 
Whether you're newly certified in DISC or simply new to facilitating in a team setting, this guide gives you a clear, structured pathway to deliver impactful, interactive, and psychologically safe sessions.
 
All the planning has been done for you — the sequence, key messages, activities, discussion prompts, and participant engagement strategies are already built in.
 
Each slide has detailed facilitator notes to help you explain concepts with clarity and confidence, and to respond to group dynamics in the moment. From setting the tone with cultural safety to guiding teams through DISC insights and application, this guide enables you to focus on delivery rather than design.
 
By following the prompts and suggestions, you’ll be able to:
Lead meaningful conversations about individual and team behaviour
Help participants discover their communication and work style preferences
Facilitate greater empathy and understanding between team members
Support teams to move from awareness to action using DISC as a shared language
Confidently debrief activities and link them back to real-world team dynamics
 
You don’t need to be an expert — you just need to be present, curious, and willing to follow the process. This guide does the heavy lifting, allowing you to focus on creating an engaging experience for your group.
