Understanding Personality Profiles

Recommended COURSE 5 for Leaders. Learn valuable insights to better understand your team and how to connect and guide them in a more effective way.

UNDERSTANDING PERSONALITY PROFILES

This workshop forms part of VPTD's Hospitality Leadership Series. This course is for Managers, Supervisors and essentially, leaders of people at any level.

Personality profiling can give us specific insights into the motivators and needs of those around us. But the benefits don't end there. Understanding profiles can help leaders to connect, to counsel, to communicate, to empathise and to delegate.

In this workshop:

  • An outline of four personality profiles according to DISC
  • How to identify the personality preferences of others
  • Learn what each personality type brings to the table
  • How to modify your communication to become more effective
  • Using DISC to delegate
  • Activity: How will you implement your newfound knowledge, and with whom?

It was such a pleasure working with VPTD. They have given me many powerful tools at the start of my managerial role. Their fun, interactive approach made the training sessions very enjoyable. VPTD has a great and positive impact on our team development and I am grateful to be given the opportunities to train with them.

Having worked in the hospitality industry for many years both in Australia and abroad, I am absolutely committed to championing this industry as one of the most satisfying and rewarding career paths in the world. Hospitality is vibrant, energizing, ever-changing and filled with warmth and gratitude. Sure, it's not always a walk in the park: long hours, demanding guests, tough targets and wide goal posts but we get to create memories and develop teams and friendships that can last a life time.

I've been studying Hospitality Leadership for over 20 years and my driving force is to make the career path for hospitality workers fulfilling, sustainable and as easy as it can possibly be.
