Jim Corter joined us last Friday for a series of individual behavioral assessment sessions. (DISC profiling). This interactive workshop was instrumental in helping GGP students identify their unique strengths and limitations, to improve productivity and collaborate more effectively. Through better understanding people and their roles within organizations, leaders can unlock potential that will increase performance and profits.
