This document summarizes a workshop about personality types using the DiSC model. It discusses the four DiSC styles (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Conscientiousness), their characteristics, strengths and limitations. The workshop focuses on reviewing DISC reports, understanding different personality types, and strategizing how to engage effectively with each type. Participants discuss their own DiSC styles and complete exercises engaging with different personality types. The goal is to help people recognize strengths, minimize limitations, and work better together as teams by understanding personality types.
