Please help me in conducting a self-awareness survey using the information outlined below I need your input.
As Rick Brocato (2003) puts it, "self-awareness is the coach's first step to understanding" (p. 22). Coaching is involved in a wide variety of management and human resource functions. Therefore, self-awareness is central to developing our own coaching capacities.
Please review the Brocato (2003) article on coaching paying special attention to his discussion regarding instrumental learning methodology and the DiSC Dimensions of Behavior instrument (pp. 19-22).
Next, complete a free version of the DiSC instrument - "The Ubiquitous DiSC" offered by Net Jobs On-Line Recruitment, accessed May 22, 2008 at: https://www.mtselect.co.uk/testing/DISC.htm (If you are unable to access the instrument through that link, try this one:https://www.gregwiens.com/disc.htm
Once you have completed this, please:
Discuss the Results of Your DiSC and Create a Performance Improvement Action Plan, specifically, a Plan of Action & Commitment Timetable, in a 2-3 page paper with references (if any are used), no cover page is necessary. Format is something like this:
1. What does your DiSC report tell you about your strengths and capacities in relation to coaching, specifically?
• What aspects of the report seem to describe you well?
• What aspects of the report do not seem to describe you well?
• How does this information relate to other self-assessments that you might have taken in the past?
2. Prepare a "Plan of Action and Commitment Timetable" as illustrated in the Brocato (2003) article, Figure 4, p. 21.
Feel free to search the Internet for other information on DiSC. A wide variety of companies and coaching services related to DiSC are now available online internationally!
Please also:
• Reference any sources that you use in your work.
• Use headings and subheadings to clearly show the structure of your analysis.
• Be sure to include a reference page if any is used
