Assignment:
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.
Once again, please return to the background readings and review the Brocato (2003) article on coaching. Pay 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 March 11, 2010 at:

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 paper, not including cover and reference pages, that looks 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
