Smith, MS Founder & President About Our Company DISC Certification Training Sample Assessments Satisfied Customers "We began working with Greg Smith in 2007 on use of DISC for improved communication and as an additional tool in our hiring process. Our increased focus in these areas has impacted our overall turnover reducing from a high of 31% in 2006 to 16% in 2008! Greg has been a valuable resource to us on the use of DISC in our banks." Kathy Youngquist First State Bank & Trust "These assessments have been extremely valuable in helping us put the right people in the right positions. They have totally revitalized the morale, and helped our managers understand and communicate to their staff in a powerful, new way. Staff members are now eager and excited to come to work." Regina Coffey Human Resources Manager Solideal Tire Inc. "Faced for the first time with a need to begin Management level learning for 50 managers, Nicholas & Company needed an easy-to-deploy, consistent and meaningful assessment. I chose Greg Smith's survey because of its amazing accuracy, but more importantly, Greg's strong knowledge on how to understand this tool. With his piercing insight, and amazing ability to coach on the results, I found we had discovered a gold mine so rich that I have designed a years worth of management training, customized to each manager, based on the information contained in each person's assessment. If you are the captain of your ship, Greg is the trusted navigator who will get you where you wish to go." Wes Stockman Performance Development Manager Nickolas & Company "Wow!
