DISCover Connections
Transform How Your Team Works Together
You hired great people. So why does it seem like they are speaking different languages?
You’ve built a talented team. Everyone’s qualified. They’re all committed. But somehow, communication still breaks down, productivity suffers and misunderstandings abound.
messages get misunderstood.
Meetings feel longer than they should.
Small frustrations build into bigger conflicts.
Projects stall because people aren’t on the same page.
Your team is naturally trying to figure each other out. But that process? It’s slow. It’s frustrating. And it’s costing you time, energy and productivity.
What if there is a faster (and easier) way?
Spoiler alert: there is … keep reading
Trial and Error Takes Too Long.
Most teams spend months (or even years) learning how to work together effectively.
You hire someone new and everyone goes through the dance of figuring out their communication style, what motivates them, and what drives them crazy.
It's exhausting. And honestly? It doesn't have to be this way.
You didn't hire mediocre people. You hired talented people who should be working together seamlessly.
The missing piece isn't skill or commitment—it's understanding.
DISCover Connections Accelerates the Process
DISCover Connections is a 2-hour team workshop that gives your team the shortcut to understanding each other—without months of trial and error.
Using the DISC assessment and model, your team will:
-
Understand Each Other Faster
Skip the guessing game. Learn how each person naturally communicates, what motivates them, and what shuts them down. Instead of spending months figuring out why someone operates the way they do, you'll have clarity in a single afternoon.
-
Communicate More Effectively
Stop talking past each other. Learn how to adapt your style so your message actually lands. Whether you're giving feedback, delegating tasks, or brainstorming ideas, you'll know exactly how to reach each person on your team.
-
Reduce Conflict and Frustration
What used to annoy you about a coworker? You'll start to understand why they do what they do—and how to work with it instead of against it. Those personality clashes that drain everyone's energy will transform into productive differences you can actually leverage.
-
Identify Team Strengths and Blind Spots
See where your team naturally excels and where you might be missing perspective. This awareness helps you make better decisions and assignments. You'll know who to tap for what, and where you need to compensate as a group.
-
Create Common Language
Give your team a framework they can use every day to navigate communication challenges and work more smoothly together. DISC becomes the shared vocabulary that makes it easier to understand each other, resolve issues quickly, and collaborate effectively.
-
Onboard New Team Members Faster
When someone new joins, you won't spend months figuring out how to work with them. They'll complete their DISC assessment and integrate smoothly—your team will understand them from day one.
How it works
(spoiler: it’s pretty simple)
Each team member completes a quick online assessment (about 15-20 minutes) that reveals their natural communication style, motivators, and how they respond under pressure.
Learn about the four DISC styles, explore individual results, and look at your team dynamics—strengths, blind spots, and how to work together more effectively in a fun, interactive training.
By the end of the session, your team will have concrete strategies for communicating better, understanding each other faster, and reducing friction. They can use what they learned immediately.
Why is this different?
It's Fast
Two hours. That's it. Your team gets clarity without losing days to training.
It's Practical
No fluff. No corporate buzzwords. Just real strategies your team can use immediately.
It's Affordable
You can transform how your entire team works together for $1,495 (for a team of 10). That's $110 per assessment plus $395 for the 2-hour session. Seriously—improved communication, less conflict, and better teamwork for less than $1,500.
It's Engaging
Your team will laugh, have "aha" moments, and actually enjoy the process. This isn't another boring workshop they'll forget by next week.
Bonus: Free Additional Reports
Once your team has completed assessments through me, you get access to over 200 additional reports at no extra cost. Need a leadership report? A sales report? A pair report for two people who work closely together? I've got you covered. If someone has done an assessment through me, all future reports for them are complimentary.
Transform your team for less than you think!
10 people. 2 hours. $1495.
Immediate results - skip the months of trial and error.
Meet Jacquie:
I’m kind of obsessed with DISC. I was introduced to it in 2016 and I had a cursory understanding. In 2020, I realized the amazing power of it.
I reference my DISC report constantly. I’ve learned so much about myself, but I also understand other people better. I’m able to let go of things that annoyed me about other people, and I communicate more effectively.
In 2020, I led a DISC session with a board and while it sounds crazy (and impossible), we saw an immediate positive impact on how we communicated and worked together. It was this profound impact that inspired me to become certified with Extended DISC.
Back to the obsession - I talk about DISC all the time. I am constantly learning new things and my mind is still blown by what I learn. I love when people receive their assessment report and say:
I feel so called out, hahahaha.
It’s like you were in my head and poured it out in this report.
How did you do that? This nailed me.
In my past life, I taught junior high for 10 years, and then transitioned to adults. I am passionate about community, creating connections and empowering people to be amazing leaders.
“DISC has changed my life. That may sound dramatic, but it has fundamentally impacted my approach to relationships. I’ve naturally adapted in the past, but DISC helped me understand why, and it gives me a tangible model so I can be deliberate in how I do it in the future. Understanding why I sometime get caught in my head in a spinning cycle has helped me stop the cycle and get off the merry go round of crappy feelings.”
Jacquie is exceptional in the area of DISC profiles …

"Being on a board and having a DISC assessment and then working through results together really helped me to understand how I was perceived by others. I am a high D style and don't spend a lot of time thinking about what others think of me. I was very surprised by how I come across. It was helpful! This explains why in 'personality tests' I end up in a group of 1 and think there's something wrong with me. But DISC is different. It's about understanding how you function in relationship to other members and how to make positive steps toward functional success."

"Jacquie is very professional to deal with. The in person facilitation session with our team was personalized and extremely helpful for gaining insight into our team dynamics. Follow up from the facilitation was very thorough and was sent to us very soon after our session. I would recommend Jacquie at Leadership and Life to anyone who is looking for team building and leadership coaching."
Lisa Jacober
Executive Assistant, Nature Conservancy of Canada -
"She is absolutely fantastic at everything she does, is exceptional in the area of DISC profiling, and I must give her credit for literally saving our Board from imploding when it first needed to conduct its Board meetings online because of the pandemic. New and old Directors were struggling to 'connect' and build relationship with each other in the virtual environment, and as soon as everyone had a better understanding of each other's needs in terms of communications, the bonds and trust started to form."

"It has been some time since I have done a DISC analysis! It is great to understand myself, what motivates me and my strengths, but also what triggers or stresses me out. Knowing this helps me understand how I can communicate with others on my team and recognize how to categorize others."

DISC is a behaviour model based on the work of psychologist William Moulton Marston. Two axes (people vs task focused and active vs reserved) yield four quadrants: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Compliance. DISC reports give you valuable information about your natural behaviour tendencies. You may find that you just get some people and interactions with those people are easy, but with others, you struggle to understand them and communication is more challenging. DISC gives you common language so you can understand and communicate more effectively with these people.

No. Each profile has strengths and challenges. DISC doesn’t assign value to the attributes which describe each profile, or to the profiles themselves. We have a tendency to do that as humans, but at the core, no profile is better than another.

I am a teacher at heart (and by trade) and I approach training and development from that perspective. I have extensive training and experience in developing and delivering content and programs. I also want to focus on non-profits and small organizations because they typically feel like training and development is out of their reach. I aim to make leadership and team development accessible to these organizations.
-
Both! I'm based in the Edmonton area and happy to come to you for in-person sessions. I also facilitate virtual sessions that are just as engaging and effective.
-
Easy. New team members complete their DISC assessment, and I can pull updated team reports. You can also add them to the DISCover Success program for ongoing onboarding support.

I'm only an email or phone call away! Plus, I have tons of free resources available on my website. This isn't a one-and-done relationship—I'm here to support you long-term.
