TYLER, Texas – Dec. 7, 2017 – PRLog — Reporters/Editors Note: You are welcome to attend this event and we will be happy to provide lunch for you. Please confirm attendance so we have a meal for you!

Brian Brandt, CEO of Tyler-based Core Insights, will speak on DiSC theory at the Jan. 10 luncheon meeting of the East Texas Chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) at the Potpourri House. The lunch meeting, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., will be followed by a 90-minute, in-depth workshop to help participants understand their own personality styles.

“The lunch will be fun and informative, and is designed to help you recognize your personality style and how it impacts workplace relationships,” says Chapter President, Yaziri Orrostieta (YO). “Three of our IABC members who work together will be the subjects and Brian will explain how and why their personality differences impact the business as a whole.”

The workshop will explore the key attributes of the four primary DiSC personality traits: Dominant, Influencing, Steadiness and Compliant. “We’ll explore behavioral styles and their impact on the way we connect with others,” Brandt says. “You’ll gain a better understanding of yourself and others, and experience how personalities affect team dynamics, conflict and more.”
