To my DiSC certified folks, what are someone your favorite breakout sessions to do live?

I will be the wet blanket. DiSC lacks rigorous research that supports its reliability and validity. Its predictive validity is pretty limited, probably because it oversimplifies personality into four categories that are not mutually exclusive. (Can I really focus only on people or on tasks, rather than value them both? Does being fast-paced really require that I lose sight of details?) If you have to have a personality inventory, MMPI and NEO-PI-R are rooted in the Big Five personality model and have been validated and found reliable.

When I’m asked to use DiSC, MBTI, True Colors, etc. I always ask “why?” If the answer is something like colleague appreciation, I just develop a workshop around that, rather than using a scientifically dubious instrument that wouldn’t yield the same outcomes next year, and costs lots of money to purchase.

Hi Everyone,

I am currently working at Meta as a Recruiting Coordinator under contract. That contract will soon come to term in July. There hasn’t been any talks about extending my contract, so I am getting very nervous about potentially being out of work in July. I am a first gen corporate worker, and I have about 5 years of experience in recruitment. I have also recently finished my Masters in HR Management, so I wanted to jump on here and see if anyone has any tips for landing a new role?

Hi All,
Can anyone refer me for business analyst job opening at Natwest?

Thanks in advance.

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?
