Assessment
Maxwell DISC Assessment
Understand yourself. Connect with others. Lead with intention.
Maxwell DISC is a proven behavioral assessment that helps individuals understand how they communicate, make decisions, and interact with others. Michele is a DISC Behavioral Analysis Certified Consultant and runs the assessment with a live debrief, so the report turns into something you actually use.
“Most leadership friction is not a values problem. It is two capable people using completely different instructions for the same conversation. Maxwell DISC puts those instructions on the table, and the team stops spending its energy guessing.”
The framework
What is the DISC Assessment?
Based on four primary behavioral styles — Dominant, Influencing, Steady, and Compliant — it provides a simple, practical framework to improve communication, strengthen relationships, and elevate effectiveness in the workplace.
Grounded in John Maxwell’s leadership principles, Maxwell DISC goes beyond awareness to equip individuals and teams with actionable strategies they can apply immediately. It is a lens, not a label: there is no score to pass, no style that is better than another, and nothing in the report that predicts who will succeed.
How Michele works with it
- Individual debriefs inside a coaching engagement.
- Team debriefs that connect styles to the situations the team is facing right now.
- Workshops that pair the framework with live communication practice, not just theory.
- Follow-up coaching so the language survives past the session.

Four questions
Curious where you land?

Choose this if
You want more than a document. The debrief is where the report becomes decisions: how you are landing with your team, which habits are costing you, and what to change in the conversations already on your calendar. Michele reviews your report before you meet, so the hour is spent on you, not on admin.
Secure checkout via Stripe. Michele emails your assessment link, usually the same working day, and your debrief appears in your client dashboard to book.

Google reviewsIn Michele's clients' own words, verbatim from their reviews.
I have been working with Michele for a little over 9 months now. As a seasoned leader (I lead a large Division for a multi-national company) I find her insights and direction to be incredibly valuable. She has helped me focus and pivot making me a better leader, coach and boss.
Michelle was very professional and has a lot of real life experience. She is very good at understanding the true root cause(s)and offers great professional and carrier advice, because she has a wealth of experience.
I've worked with Michele as my coach for the past four months, and the experience has been remarkable. It's arguably the best management learning I've had in my 30-year career. Michele is fantastic at supporting and tracking goals, and she's very much focused on you, the client. She's very engaged in your personal journey, and she is supportive along the way. I found her to be exceptional in helping me maintain my personal accountability, and I've grown as a leader as a result. The time I've spent with her has been extremely valuable to me, and I believe her skills as a coach can help anyone with any leadership position at any company. I highly recommend her, and I am very happy with what I have learned so far working with her.
