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!

amazing organizations including:
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.
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.
Let's launch your leaders to success!
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.

Using DiSC Assessments to Fast Track Employee Onboarding
How Can DiSC Assessments Improve Employee Onboarding?
Quick Answer:
DiSC assessments improve employee onboarding by helping new hires understand themselves, their manager, and their team early in their tenure. When DiSC is introduced intentionally and supported with tools like Catalyst, onboarding becomes more personal, consistent, and effective. DiSC becomes part of a broader talent strategy, not just a one-time event.
Most of my clients tell me that they want onboarding to feel welcoming, to speed up time to proficiency, to be consistent across the organization, and efficient to manage. Yet many onboarding programs focus heavily on systems and policies, and less on creating a welcoming environment, leaving people to figure out relationships on their own. DiSC fills that gap quickly and effectively. When onboarding includes behavioral insight, new hires build confidence faster, managers connect sooner, and teams integrate more smoothly.
How does DiSC fit into a broader talent strategy?
DiSC works best when it is treated as a system, not a single workshop
The real value of DiSC is not limited to onboarding. It is a tool that supports communication, performance management, employee relations, leadership, collaboration, and culture across the employee lifecycle.
When DiSC is introduced during onboarding, it sets the expectation that behavioral awareness matters for both the new hire and their team. From there, it can be reinforced through coaching, leadership development, performance conversations, and team effectiveness initiatives.
Onboarding is simply one of the earliest and most powerful places to begin. It's the starting point for a new employee and for DiSC becoming a way of life in an organization.
Why should DiSC be part of employee onboarding?
DiSC accelerates new employee integration and reduces early frustration
New hires are navigating new expectations, relationships, and ways of working all at once. DiSC gives them a framework to understand their own preferences and how others may differ, reducing guesswork and misinterpretation. Managers gain quick insight about their new employee's motivators and stressors, so they are able to quickly coach them to high levels of performance. And, teams don't face the stumbling blocks associated with team member transition.
DiSC supports faster cultural alignment
When DiSC is part of onboarding, new employees learn not just what results are expected, but how people communicate, collaborate, and make decisions while they are achieving those results.
When is the right time to introduce DiSC during onboarding?
Four to six weeks after hire is ideal
During the first few weeks on the job, team members are busy enough just trying to remember their passwords and find the restroom. After a few weeks, DiSC is most impactful because new hires have had time to:
Get to know their boss and colleagues
Begin doing the work and have a sense of what they enjoy and what might be frustrating at times
Experience real interactions and challenges
Start to see their old behaviors they need to let go and new behaviors they need to develop based on your workplace culture
At this point, DiSC feels relevant and actionable rather than theoretical, and employees can immediately apply insights to real situations.
How can DiSC be introduced during onboarding?
Facilitated onboarding workshops for new hires
One effective option is a facilitated session for a cohort of 10–15 new hires using the Everything DiSC Workplace on Catalyst profile. This is ideal because all participants are in the same boat!
Here is the two-hour agenda I use when facilitating a new employee DiSC workshop.
Use the Quick DiSC Card Game asking participants to identify 8 characteristics that lead to success in the first year of a new job. Or, talk about your workplace culture and ask them to identify 8 characteristics that lead to success given your culture.
Provide an overview of the DiSC model and the four styles. Have the participants read about their own styles on Catalyst or in their printed Profile.
Use the Four Corners exercise to build self-awareness, dividing the participants by style to identify their strengths and possible risks.
Discover the power of adapting communication approaches using the Managing Up module from the Everything DiSC Management Facilitation Kit. These short videos help new employees understand their supervisors' expectations and learn how to make a strong first impression.
Team-based onboarding integration
Onboarding is also an opportunity for the existing team members to refresh their thinking about DiSC and to recalibrate how they work together. This is important, especially when their new colleague is excited to share what they learn about themselves through a new hire DiSC workshop. Suggest that managers dedicate 15 minutes of their next team meeting to:
Use Catalyst -> Your Groups to review the Group Insights together
As a team, answer the question prompts in Conversation Starters –> Get to Know Your Team
This reinforces that onboarding is a shared responsibility and helps normalize ongoing DiSC conversations. Make it quick and easy by using the Catalyst Admin Platform to create the Group prior to the team meeting.
Self-guided onboarding using Catalyst
For organizations that prefer flexibility, DiSC can be delivered through self-study. New hires can:
Complete their Workplace Profile
Use Catalyst to explore insights about themselves, their teammates, and their manager
Use my Everything DiSC Scavenger Hunt (at the bottom of this post) to reflect and apply learning independently
This option works especially well for smaller organizations with just a few new hires each year.
Which Everything DiSC profile is best for onboarding?
Everything DiSC Workplace is the starting point
The Workplace Profile introduces DiSC in a practical, accessible way. It focuses on communication, collaboration, motivators, and stressors — all highly relevant during onboarding. It also provides personalized tips for making connections, influencing others, and handling tense situations.
Support new managers with Everything DiSC Management
New managers can benefit from the addition of the Management content. They'll get quick, targeted guidance for giving direction, delegating, developing employees, and creating a motivating environment for their new team.
Check out my blog post: Which Everything DiSC Profile should I use for my team? if you want to explore how to apply all the profiles.
How can we involve managers without adding burden?
DiSC helps managers connect faster, not work harder
Managers play a pivotal role in onboarding, but they are often stretched thin. DiSC simplifies the process by accelerating understanding.
If the manager has not completed DiSC, they should complete the Everything DiSC on Catalyst Management profile. Managers and new hires can then:
Meet one-on-one to review and compare profiles, particularly focusing on the new employee's motivators and stressors.
Use the Your Colleagues feature in Catalyst to explore similarities and differences.
Use Management modules to get practical advice for directing, delegating, developing, and motivating the new employee.
This replaces guesswork with clarity and puts relationship building and organizational culture and at the top of the priority list.
What makes Catalyst one of the best digital platforms for onboarding?
Catalyst supports ongoing learning and connection
Like many onboarding systems, Catalyst allows new hires to gain insight about themselves and to get up to speed quickly. But, your onboarding system likely just focuses on the new hire. Catalyst engages the entire team. New hires learn about their team AND the team learns about the new hire. Managers get tips for helping the team member to succeed while making them feel welcome. And, it's a tool that will be used long into the future. It makes DiSC a way of life.

How do we measure onboarding success when using DiSC?
Focus on outcomes that matter
Effective onboarding aims to:
Create a welcoming environment for new and transitioning employees
Speed up time to proficiency through structured learning
Ensure a consistent onboarding experience across the organization
Simplify and streamline onboarding for HR, managers, and new hires
DiSC supports these outcomes by improving communication, clarifying expectations, and strengthening relationships early in the employee experience. Plus, it's simple for HR team members to administer, facilitate, and reinforce over time.
How can I order Everything DiSC profiles for onboarding?
Use the Catalyst Administrator Platform
Organizations can order and manage Everything DiSC profiles as they need them through the Catalyst Administrator platform. This allows HR team members to:
Assign assessments to new hires and managers
Generate reports
Assign learners to groups to provide group insight and maps, and to tee up team activities
Track usage and engagement
Certification is not required to administer profiles through Catalyst, making it easy to get started. Schedule a call with me. We can get your administrator dashboard set up today!
Where can I find DiSC-based onboarding solutions?
Work with an Everything DiSC Authorized Partner who understands onboarding
Look for partners who go beyond assessments and help integrate DiSC into real human resources workflows like onboarding, performance management, succession planning, and employee relations. Work Ignited specializes in designing DiSC-based onboarding solutions that are practical, scalable, and aligned with your broader talent strategies.
What is a simple way to get started with DiSC onboarding?
Start with guided self-discovery
A low-barrier way to introduce DiSC is through a structured, self-guided experience.
