super-doers to super-supervisors by:

  • Learning about their personal styles, priorities, and motivators using Everything DiSC

  • Understanding the unique attributes of others to create a motivating environment for their team members

  • Building conversation techniques for connecting, handling tense situations, and influencing others

  • Getting organized with planning, prioritizing, and reporting templates

  • Learning to set clear expectations, celebrate successes, and have tough conversations to manage performance

  • Getting frameworks for interviewing job candidates, delegating, developing people, keeping conflict productive

Today's workforce wants to find purpose and meaning in their work, to experience a spirit of camaraderie in their workplaces, and to feel valued for what is truly important to them. We'll help your supervisors develop an appreciation for each team member and use that insight to guide their actions in a fair, firm, and friendly way.

Hi. I'm Amy Pearl.

Thank you for exploring our supervisory training options.

I've dedicated my life to helping leaders build the skills and behaviors to create high performing teams and motivating workplaces. I'd love to help your team, too!

I created the frameworks in Launch Into Leadership over 3 decades, first, as a corporate gal working for a big bank and then, by coaching hundreds of professionals, from CEO's of multi-billion dollar companies to high potentials just starting out. I've gained a reputation as a no-nonsense yet fun-loving coach who asks thought-provoking questions and delivers actionable ideas.

Whether you have one supervisor or fifty, let's help them get started or boost their skills today!

Here are the answers to some questions you might have...

How many supervisors can participate at one time?

You can include as many supervisors as you'd like, since our sessions are virtual. We use lots of breakouts rooms and other ways to engage your learners, so large groups are fine with us.

If you have just one supervisor, choose the One-on-One Learning program for one participant above.

If you have 2 or 3 participants, we can create a hybrid option. Schedule a call with Amy to talk about your needs.

Who is the ideal participant for Launch Into Leadership?

The ideal participant is a new or emerging supervisor who wants to build self-awareness, communication skills, performance management techniques, and other basic frameworks for success. More experienced, mid-level or senior leaders who need to refine their leadership habits or prepare for the next level in their careers would likely benefit from our more extensive one-on-one coaching engagements or our Lead Ignited program.

FAQ image

How do I know the frameworks taught in Launch Into Leadership will stick?

Our goal is to achieve your goals. So, we begin by meeting with you to understand your objectives. We encourage participants to meet with their supervisors following our sessions to share what they've learned and identify ways to implement their new frameworks on the job. Participants' managers receive a Manager's Toolkit outlining each session and providing coaching questions to build accountability and sustainability of the participants' new skills.

How are the sessions structured?

For our one-on-one participants, we typically schedule our sessions every 2-3 weeks. In between, they complete our online learning modules. This ensures they can manage the learning load, build new skills, and get personalized attention to address their unique needs.

For our group program, we typically schedule the one-hour learning sessions every two weeks spanning a four month period. This gives the participants time to practice their new skills in between. To expedite the program, we can double-up on topics by offering two hour sessions. We'll work to meet your scheduling needs.

What is the cost?

At Work Ignited, we recognize that the fee for our services is your investment in anticipation of higher levels of performance and ultimately, greater financial return. So we strive to offer our high quality service at a fair value.

The fee for the one-on-one learning option is $1,497 including coaching time, access to the online learning modules for one year, and the Everything DiSC Profile.

Group programs are priced based on the number of participants and the structure of the sessions. Schedule a call with Amy to talk about options.

The best time to help your leaders succeed is today.

So many new and emerging leaders started working in the work-from-home/hybrid workplace era. As a result, they haven't had the exposure to high performing leaders or the time to dedicate to building their own supervisory skills. Now, they are scrambling (or relying on you) to manage day-to-day tasks, build accountability, and grow their teams.

I truly believe that there's never been a better (or more important) time to double down on building supervisory skills. Today's workforce is looking for supervisors who are fair, firm, and friendly. Your super-doers can be turned into super-supervisors in just a short time. They just need proven frameworks and an intentional learning process to build the habits that will lead to their success.

I want your supervisors to feel proud of what they accomplish and confident in what thet can achieve.

Let's chat to get Launch Into Leadership scheduled for your supervisors.

DiSC Facilitation Mistakes

5 Mistakes DiSC Facilitators Make

November 11, 20254 min read

What Are the Most Common Mistakes Facilitators Make When Teaching DiSC?

Quick Answer:
The five biggest DiSC facilitation mistakes all come down to one thing: focusing more on teaching the tool than transforming the people. Great facilitators know the spotlight belongs on the participants, not the presenter.

I wish I would have kept track of how many DiSC sessions I’ve facilitated over the last 25+ years. I am sure it’s hundreds, maybe more than 1,000. I have made many mistakes. I’ve learned from them and I want to share them with you, so that you can have the impact on your learners and organization that you desire.


Mistake #1. Making the Session About You Instead of Them

We’ve all done it. You prepare, you know the content cold, and before you know it, you’re the star of the show. The jokes land, the timing’s sharp, and people are laughing… but are they learning?
DiSC workshops work best when participants see themselves in the content, not you. Your job is to guide discovery, not deliver a monologue. Use personal stories sparingly, check your airtime, and remember: if you’re talking more than they are, you’re probably over-teaching and under-transforming.


Mistake #2. Failing to Facilitate Real Connections in the Room

Facilitators sometimes focus so much on sharing their passion for DiSC, following their planned activities, and sticking to their timed agenda that they forget to connect the people. On more than one occasion, I’ve had a well-meaning HR person point out that I was deviating from the agenda, but then, the business leaders in the room told me me that was the most meaningful and impactful part of the session.

A great DiSC experience isn’t about letters and scripts. It’s about helping teammates understand and value each other. When participants walk away saying, “I learned something about us,” you’ve nailed it. Build small-group conversations, pair shares, and discussions about real life into your agenda. Those connections are what make the learning stick.


Mistake #3. Designing the Session Around Your Own Style

It’s human nature: we teach the way we like to learn.

  • A high-D facilitator might push through everything to get to the point.

  • A high-i facilitator might pack the session with games and breakout energy.

  • A high-S facilitator might create deep, thoughtful discussions.

  • A high-C facilitator might take a deep dive into data and analysis.

But if you design every workshop around your DiSC style, you'll lose three-quarters of the room.

The solution? Balance your session agenda intentionally. Mix in a short wrong way/right way video for the C’s, an energizer for the i’s, pair discussions for the S’s, and some competition for the D’s. The more variety, the broader your impact.


4. Not Linking DiSC to Real Business Problems

This is a big one. Too many workshops stay theoretical without ever asking, “What’s really happening on your team?” Every DiSC session should connect directly to business reality:

  • What goals need to be achieved and what traits will help the team to achieve them?

  • Communication breakdowns? Use Catalyst comparisons to diagnose them.

  • Low morale? Explore what each style needs to stay motivated.

  • Departmental friction? Have groups map their styles to see how dynamics form.

When participants tie DiSC insights to real challenges, the learning becomes practical, not theoretical and that’s when behavior starts to change.


5. Forgetting the Follow-Up

Even the best workshop fades fast if there’s no reinforcement. DiSC isn’t a one-and-done. It’s a language you have to keep speaking. A simple follow-up can make all the difference:

  • Send a Catalyst reflection question a week after your workshop.

  • Host a 15-minute “DiSC in Action” check-in or small group coaching session once a month.

  • Give leaders a micro-habit challenge (e.g., Adapt one sentence in your next coaching conversation).

The goal isn’t more training. It’s sustained transformation.


Final Thoughts

If you’ve made some of these mistakes, you’re in good company. Every skilled facilitator has. The difference between a good workshop and a great one is your own awareness. When you shift your focus from delivering content to creating connection, everything changes - energy, engagement, behavior change, and long-term results!
