On this episode of the What Do You Do? podcast, Adam is joined by Dawn Hardman, a DISC Practitioner, to understand what exactly it is that she does.

When we think of personaility tests, it's easy to think of online quizzes with ridiculous results, but a DISC assessment is anything but that. A DISC assessment undertaken with a licensed DISC Practitioner can be transformative for both individuals and teams. It enhances self-awareness, improves communication, and can lead to better team dynamics. If you’re looking to get a better understanding of how you or your team can work more effectively, undertaking a DISC assessment could be a worthwhile investment.

"Ultimately, everyone wants the same result. They just get it
in a different way, and it's just having that understanding."

In this episode of the What Do You Do? podcast, Adam is joined by Dr Lizzy Bernthal, a renowned speaker, coach and author to discuss resilience.

Resilience is often misunderstood, but crucially important. It's the skill that helps us to endure and overcome the most difficult challenges we face in our lives. But as Lizzy explains, we show resilience everyday, even when we get out of bed when we don't want to.

"Resilience is not just for strong people. When facing adversity, you don’t feel resilient, but you are."
