The Way We Work

Communicating, collaborating, succeeding.

Team discussing communication habits

Communicating, collaborating, succeeding.

A practical team workshop that turns individual DiSC insight into better everyday collaboration. Participants explore their preferences, learn about colleagues and agree on a few changes to how they work together.

Who it is for: Intact and cross-functional teams.

Learning objectives

  • Describe your own communication needs more clearly.
  • Recognise how different priorities can create misunderstandings.
  • Practise adapting a message or conversation.
  • Agree on team habits that support shared work.

Before the session

Spectrum meets with the sponsor to clarify the intended outcomes and select suitable workplace examples. Where an assessment is included, participants complete it before the session. We agree on any preparation, accessibility needs and the appropriate format for the group.

Assessment option: Everything DiSC Workplace. The final proposal confirms what is included.

After the workshop

Participants identify one or two actions they can apply in their own work. The sponsor can reinforce those commitments through a manager conversation or team check-in. A follow-up session can review what participants tried, what they learned and what support they need next.

Shape the session around your team

Tell us about the participants, the challenge, your preferred date and whether delivery will be in person or virtual. We will recommend a scope and quote covering the agreed assessment, facilitation and support. A shorter session may need a narrower learning objective rather than a compressed version of every activity.
