Many private practices face challenges with team dynamics, engagement, and retention. This webinar on enhancing emotional intelligence will explore how the DISC Profile offers a powerful framework for understanding personality-driven behaviors and communication styles.

Walk away with practical insights to boost performance, reduce stress, and build a more engaged team—leading to better patient care and business success.

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Articulate a basic understanding of each of the DISC Personality Traits.
2. Identify specific opportunities to enhance emotional intelligence as an owner/leader in a PT private practice.
3. Analyze how DISC personality styles influence communication dynamics and leadership effectiveness in a PT private practice.
