How DISC Profiling Affects Health

Deep Dive Audio Review of DISCPlus.health

Overview of DISC Plus Services and Philosophy

Introduction:

This briefing document outlines the core services and philosophy of DISC Plus, as presented on their website. DISCPlus.health founded by Elaine Godley, focuses on the intersection of behavioural profiling (using DISC) and health, offering a unique approach to both personal and professional development. The organisation provides services for individuals and businesses.

Key Themes and Ideas:

Integration of DISC Profiling and Health:

• The central concept is that understanding behaviour (through DISC profiling) is crucial for both business success and personal health. Elaine Godley emphasises the connection between behavioural patterns, stress, and health outcomes, highlighting how imbalance in life can lead to illness. As she puts it: "Without balance you will become ill – guaranteed!"
• This integrated approach is unique, moving beyond traditional business or health coaching into a holistic model.
• DISC profiling is not limited to team dynamics, it is also used as a tool to identify underlying challenges to health.

Root Cause Analysis:

• DISC Plus aims to identify the "root cause" of health challenges rather than simply addressing symptoms. This is achieved through a combination of lab tests (blood and hair analysis), online assessments, and personal mentoring.
• The approach is described as applicable whether someone is facing a "current health crisis" or is seeking "pro-active positive health." The proactive element involves identifying potential issues "bubbling under the surface" to prevent future illness.
• A key offering is the "Perfect 10 VIP Health Mentoring Programme" which blends business experience and health training.

Impact on Business & Recruitment:

• DISC profiling is used to improve team dynamics, enhance recruitment processes, and increase productivity in organisations.
• The site states "Every time I recruit someone; I turn to Elaine to help with both the job profile and the candidate profile to help bring some science to our recruitment" demonstrating the practical application of her methods.
• By creating "cohesive, happy teams", the goal is to reduce absence, boost productivity, and increase profits.
• Clients have used Elaine's services for both team analysis and for more extensive personal reports as part of leadership development initiatives.

Elaine Godley's Personal Experience:

• Elaine's personal experience with burnout and stage IV cancer is a key motivator for her approach, allowing her to combine personal experience with her training in psychology, business, nutrition, and biohacking. This allows her to bring a unique depth of empathy to her work.
• She positions herself as a "safe pair of hands with a no-nonsense approach to business and health," which suggests a pragmatic and direct approach to her coaching and consulting.
• The site positions her as "a powerful force and an innovative and creative lady. She ploughs forth where others fear to tread."

The Perfect Health HUB:

• This is described as a resource repository for health education, offering 24/7 access to videos, documents, podcasts and other tools. This appears to act as a self-help resource to supplement personal coaching services.
• The HUB is designed to assist anyone seeking to improve their overall health and wellbeing.

Services Offered:

• Personalised Health Mentoring: Using laboratory tests, online assessments, and DISC profiling to develop individualised recovery and preventative plans.
• DISC Profiling for Recruitment: Helping businesses define job roles and assess candidate suitability.
• Team Development: Using DISC to improve team cohesion, communication, and overall performance.
• Executive Mentoring: Focusing on health and wellbeing for individual executives and leadership teams.
• Consultancy: Providing business reviews and advice, as demonstrated by work with Legal Services performance reviews.
• Perfect Health HUB: Access to online educational health resources

• "I enlisted Elaine's expertise when I needed an explanation for our HOD team for their DISC results and Elaine also did a more extensive DISC report on me which was really insightful, interesting and Elaine is very knowledgeable on the subject. I would highly recommend Elaine if you were looking to look at your team and see how they tick!"- Showing how her services are used in team development.
