It was Marshall Goldsmith’s ringing endorsement of Expended DISC that first aroused my interested in the tool. I figured that if “one of the five most-respected executive coaches” (Forbes Magazine) was basing his executive coaching on the Extended DISC system then it was seriously worth investigating for use in my own coaching career.
I did not expect to become the Western Australian agent for Extended DISC but I am sure pleased I did.
If you are a business, corporate or executive coach, consultant or trainer, then surely it must also arouse your curiosity and interest to explore this further.
Don’t you owe it to your clients, present and future, to be able to offer them the same tool that is used and recommended by such a highly regarded HR and coaching authority?
Doesn’t it border on professional negligence to overlook the opportunity to obtain the system for FREE and give it a try … for FREE ?
Wouldn’t enrolling in a half-day or full-day Certification Training programme be one of the smartest decisions you could make, especially if that training was for free (see Special Offer)?
And remember, Extended DISC has much wider applications that just executive coaching and leadership development. See who can use Extended DISC and who should use it.
To finish this post let me summarize some of the accomplishments and acclaim of Marshall Goldsmith that I hope will rouse you to take immediate action on Extended DISC:
